00:00 The YouTuber who went viral for purposefully crashing a plane is now apologizing, but social

00:05 media users are still not happy.

00:08 YouTuber and former Olympian Trevor Jacob was recently sentenced to six months in prison

00:13 after crashing a plane.

00:15 The athlete-turned-influencer found himself in hot water after pulling the insane stunt

00:20 to gain more views online back in November of 2021.

00:24 Jacob was facing five felony charges total, but was able to get his sentence down to just

00:28 six months in prison.

00:30 In a new interview with Good Morning America, Jacob is explaining himself, but social media

00:35 users are not buying it.

00:37 "When I jumped out of the plane, I jumped and I'm like, 'You just made the biggest

00:41 mistake of your life.

00:42 I take full responsibility.

00:43 I don't think that this type of behavior is okay.'

00:48 I made sure that there was no fuel in the plane.

00:50 I made absolutely sure that there was nobody in that vicinity.

00:53 I did pretend that the engine died and kind of made the saga of the video."

01:00 People who viewed the video reacted in the comments, saying Jacob does not deserve a

01:06 platform and found his smiling throughout the apology unauthentic.
