  1. That plane could have killed someone out bush-walking or something!
    There has to be consequences!
    Make hin pay, so it serves as an example for anyone else that would consider this a joke!

  2. Just dumb, could have started a fire for views, should get some serious jail time for this stunt ..

  3. give him the full sentence.

  4. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope he takes time in his prison term to contemplate the lives he could have ended with this stunt.

  5. If we start judging people based on "it could" the system if broken.

    No one died or got hurt, stupid thing to do, for sure… The last he should have done is admit to it all.

  6. Hope he goes to prison and never gets another PPL. Dude faked a crash, lied to investigators, and destroyed evidence……for clicks.

  7. Him and Tanya Harding should get married and then drive off a cliff like Thelma and Loius.

  8. I hate it when people give themselves likes.
    BTW, I've heard it causes blindness. 😵

  9. So he did all this for Ridge wallets?😢😂

  10. I was denied a chance for a pilot license because my color vision isn’t perfect but they let this guy fly?

  11. This is literally the equivalent of a terrorist attact whether it hit just tress or not

  12. I guess he will get that money from views to pay bond😮

  13. Public execution is only way to prevent from happening again

  14. Is that a fire extinguisher in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? 🙄

  15. They should take all the profits he made from the video as well..this was dangerous and could have caused harm to others..some people will do anything for social media fame and its sad.

  16. Hey Trevor? Trevor? 

    Cupid stunt.

  17. The clout chasing is outta control 🤢🤮
