> he had a fire extinguisher concealed under his pants right above his ankle.
This was also something I just learned about the incident an hour ago, and in fact he has a fire extinguisher on both legs, which are relatively evident in his video:
- Bulge on his right calf when jumping out of the plane at 2m06s into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=126s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=126s
- You can then see the bottom of the fire extinguisher on his left leg lit up by the sun for a couple frames at 2m11s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=131s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=131s
- jacquesm 4y agoYou have absolutely amazing eyes.
- bfz 4y agoYou can frame-by-frame on YT by pressing '.', but yes, still an amazing catch by parent
- jolmg 4y agoAnd ',' to go back a frame, for those that didn't know.
- smegsicle 4y agompv controls!
- jrockway 4y agoI remember the first time I absentmindedly pressed . or , on YouTube and was shocked that they used MPlayer's keybindings (and implemented such an obscure, but useful, feature). Oddly probably the least copied feature across video platforms, I like it a lot, but nobody else seems to have stolen it. (Can anyone believe that Twitch has gotten away with such a terrible player? I remember people used to send streamers Twitch VODs to review, and every time they paused the video gets greyed out. Twitch never changed this, and now people use YouTube for that.)
- djmips 4y agoEven though those are the correct controls I tend to think of the < and > as the mnemonics because it makes kind of sense (but those are shift)
- diabeetusman 4y agoAnd < and > increase and decrease playback speed, for what that's worth
- Moru 4y agoAnd are placed somewhere completely else on Swedish keyboards but it was an Aha-moment when I realized as a child that the keys ,. was really supposed to be <> for arrows in some games 30+ years ago :-)
- whatever_dude 4y agoThat's why they are the keys in fact. Those are the usual shortcuts for frame navigation in some video editors.
- chrononaut 4y agoHah, I must admit that I didn't catch it the previous times I watched the video when I heard about the incident; It wasn't until I learned he had extinguishers strapped to the back of his legs that I went hunting for them in the video.
- jacquesm 4y agoEven knowing what I was looking for I had to do frame-by-frame a couple of times before spotting them, and once you see them it's obvious but to spot them not knowing they are there is quite a feat.
- geoduck14 4y ago>You have absolutely amazing eyes. blushes thanks
- salawat 4y agoIt was probably more the attention to detail and dataprocessing and recognition loop. You have an amazing brain just doesn't really tickle all the same physiological switches though.
- limaoscarjuliet 4y agoSome of that processing attributed to the brain happens in the eyes themselves, so "amazing eyes" still fits :-)
- iamtedd 4y agoIf someone called my brain amazing I'd blush :)
- davidjgraph 4y agoThe joke is more that "you have amazing eyes" more means "you have beautiful eyes", at least in British English. "you have excellent eyes" would be how I'd comment on someone's eyesight.
- jacquesm 4y agoAnd some of us don't even speak or write English as a first language, imagine! If the op felt I was flirting with them then that's entirely their problem :)
- scoot 4y agoIt wasn't the OP who replied
- scoot 4y ago> "you have excellent eyes" "good eyes" or "well spotted" would be more idiomatic, I think.

- spookthesunset 4y agoIf you search YouTube for “Trevor Jacob” there is several pilot folks who have spent tons of time going through every little detail of the video. They’ve reconstructed the flight path, where it landed, you name it. It was one of those “hive mind” kind of deals and it was fun to follow during the month or so after the original video was posted.
- beart 4y agoWhat was the purpose of the fire extinguishers? To put out the plane after it crashed?
- gonzo41 4y agoAll I can think is the extra weight on his legs my break his tib/fib, which would not be good.
- mannykannot 4y agoIt would have made for a more gripping video: some real drama for once, with some real rather than badly-acted tension.
- arlcode 4y agoThat's anyones guess. I doubt that by the time he got too the plane there would have been anything left worth extinguishing? Perhaps too prevent a forest fire? Although that would've been equally futile. Maybe someone who intentionally crashes a plan for a few YouTube clicks isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier after all.
- beeboop 4y agoI think he probably has them for just that reason - to put out any fire his crash might start. He knew there is massive, massive liability and jail time for deliberately doing something that causes a fire and can potentially destroy miles of trees, homes, and people.
- cryptonector 4y agoThose must be some fire extinguishers if he could use just two of them to put out fires spanning "miles of trees, homes, and people"!

- jolmg 4y agoYou can also see the bottom of the one on his right leg for a few frames when he changes the camera from his right to his left hand at 2:15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=135s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=135s

- toomanydoubts 4y agoDoes ublock somehow stops view counts? Or are you strictly talking about monetization? Even though I don't care about adding views, that might make youtube recommend his videos further. He's probably on some kind of shadowban at this point, though.
- hatware 4y agoOh the horror, not views!
