Reminds me of that guy[1][2] a few years ago who jumped out of his running airplane deliberately staging its crash. I guess I just don't understand the YouTube economy. How are these stunts cost effective? This probably means no more flying ever for both of these "influencer" guys. So, what's their plan after they get caught and lose their license and/or do time in prison?
I think the question is how one recoups the cost of crashing a plane. I know youtubers who make 5 to 6 figures, but they have to keep posting content that gets watched. One "crash my plane" video doesn't seem like a big money maker.
