  It is completely reckless to ditch an aircraft if other options are available. The chances are low, but it could have hit someone or caused a fire.

    why would he do it intentionally, though. isn't an airplane more expensive then what he can expect to earn with that clip on YouTube?

      He probably has insurance on the aircraft, so the YouTube earnings + increased publicity + insurance payout could make such a stunt profitable.

      I don't know what a youtube video earns, but it is entirely possible to find a clapped out old taylorcraft or equivalent for $10-15k. I think that breaking even is entirely impossible. WHistlinDiesel destroyed an almost identical airplane in a video...

        Yes, but he only endangered his crew, thankfully.
