Air stunt gone awry



One of two pilots attempting to swap planes in midair was forced to deploy his parachute after his plane began to spiral out of control. ABC News’ Will Ganss has the details.

  1. Practice? How do u even Practice for this

  2. So dumb. Wasting resources for commercials/profit is caveman stuff. SHAME ON RED BULL

  3. Recovering from a flat spin is very hard. On a simulator, I entered a flat spin at 20,000 ft & managed to gain control back at around 900 ft. So close..

  4. Well that was beyond stupid

  5. Kiss that Skyhawk goodbye.

  6. my first DISLIKE ever on youtube.

  7. I wonder if the FAA will suspended their pilots licenses since their application was denied but they did it anyway?. They must be. " rules don't apply to us" republKKKans!!!

  8. I feel bad for the male broadcaster having to work with someone with no funny bone.

  9. Where did they go wrong??? What part of that idea was right? They just stripped that dumb kid's pilot's license for faking his plane was broken and bailing out leaving a dangerous object to free fall to the ground. What makes this different?

  10. I KNEW IT!! I KNEW IT WOULD GO WRONG!!!

  11. Something went wrong? What the f*** did they think was going to happen

  12. So, will the FAA come down on them like they did with Trevor Jacob, who let his plane crash in a "stunt"?

  13. FAA denied the exemption for this stunt. They did it anyway. Nothing good will come of this for these guys.

  14. Anyone see the stunt where man jumps out of plane at 25,000 feet with NO chute??? It really happened, and he lived to talk about it. There was a special 'net system' to catch him, and to decelerate his speed.

  15. All involved should be arrested and put in jail. The FFA said no to the stunt and they did it anyway.

  16. And if you notice they never showed the plane deploy its own parachute.. I was more interested in that ,the blue plane didn't crash It literally has its own parachute and it deployed and landed ,, there's another video out there if you look it up

  17. I was hoping to see someone get splattered

  18. Trevor Jacob is somewhere shaking his head asking. "why dont the FAA Revoke these idiots Licenses instead of mine!?"

  19. Yes and now they are going to lose their license to fly for going against the FAA, who had denied them the right to do this stunt!!!

  20. Leaving an aircraft to operate on it's own is against the law. Planes can't be in command of themselves. No pilot means no way to control. It's a no-brainer. Next time, they need to leave a 2nd person in planes and in command just in case. Let me know in advance, it would be fun to be in 3rd plane taking video.

  21. That’s a felony could’ve caused a fire.

  22. No one is surprised this didn’t work.

  23. Smh.. What a stupid "stunt"!

  24. Wealthy enough, do what you want.
    Not wealthy, “that’s illegal”

  25. It all started with Trevor jumping out of his plane

  26. Time for the FAA to pull some pilot's licenses. This stunt's permit was denied. These jerks hurt General Aviation, and deserve to be stripped of right to fly, and fined into poverty

  27. Overotate lol its call a spin ABC.
