Washington: In America, a YouTuber who uploaded a video of his own plane being destroyed to increase followers and views on his YouTube channel was arrested and could be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
According to the American Broadcasting Corporation, 29-year-old YouTuber pilot Trevor Jacob flew his plane in California and also filmed for the YouTube channel. Meanwhile, he jumped out of the plane by parachute and let the plane fall to the ground.
The plane crashed on the ground and uploaded the video of the entire dangerous scene on his YouTube channel. The video was viewed by nearly 3 million people and the number of followers grew exponentially.
YouTuber Jacob made the video in a very dramatic way. At first they seem upset that they have run out of water and are very thirsty. They do not understand what to do. After jumping from the plane, they stop by a river and start drinking water.
At the same time, a car is seen from which they take a lift and leave for home. Two weeks later, when the YouTuber realized that the move might be heavy, he hid the remains of the plane in a forest.
The Federal Aviation Administration of America arrested YouTuber Jacob for intentionally destroying his plane and increasing the possibility of a major accident and revoked his license to fly his plane.
The YouTuber is currently out on bail but faces a 20-year prison sentence for the crime.
