I never thought I'd see a Haz reference in a YouTube crash video but it immediately caught my eye.
See for yourself... how many Haz-tags can you spot sprinkled through in the video?

No Haz-tags in this one, but just another budding business idea for Trevor?

Hmmmm, could this be the true cause of the crash?

IMO, the best comment for the video:
Heartbreaking. We need more pilots in the community to be aware of S.T.A.G.E.D. crashes - Suction That Acts Generally Ending in Ditched airplanes. How terrifying this experience must be!

Unsure as to why this guy would intentionally crash a plane??? Obviously more $$ than brains. Not what I would call eco friendly to intentionally crash a plane and leak oil and air fuel all over. Not to mention the rest of the debris. Was there a purpose in this video other than a plug for a wallet???

Not cool.

Pretty much like other influencers of today's world... more YouTube views, likes and subscribers.

Not too many worries of fuel spilling as it appears he purposely ran it out of fuel or there was little left. To address it if a fire had arisen he had fire extinguishers attached to his legs and he had his sky-diving parachute so he could land close to the crash site.

And within days he paid for a helicopter to bring him back out, cut up the plane and airlift it out... yup, BEFORE the NTSB had a chance to investigate. And so he's in more than a little hot water over his antics.

The flying community as a whole is plenty pissed at the guy for bringing private piloting into disrepute.

One thing more prevalent than stupidity in today's world is superfluous outrage.
