The strange thing about it was that the video was so odd.

Dude was filming himself flying, the engine stops… and all of a sudden he decides to bail out.

No effort to do anything, he just bails out.

I don’t know why he thought his video would even seem realistic.

it's only strange if you forget that most criminals are dumb. and this guy is clearly a fucking idiot

The failure mode here is interesting to me.

Like, I'm not a pilot but I've read exactly enough to know that the way he handled this is the opposite of the way a private pilot is trained to. So he managed, I assume, to get the idea in his head that a video of someone bailing out of a private plane would attract the attention of low-knowledge rubes for attention and clicks... While not attracting the attention of every other amateur pilot who knows how to work YouTube, as well as the FAA.

Strange train of thought.
