Beyond comprehension !!

Gromit

Yes, MentorPilot has covered this case extensively.

He should never get his licence back. He made money from his YouTube video, and he should be fined a similar amount.

The thing is it could have crashed into someone's house on the ground. I assume he pointed it in the direction of somewhere with no people but even so you never know where it's going to land.

Needs locking up -for his and everyone else's safety.

you'd think they'd test whether the bullet would go through the book first, wouldn't you!

Gromit

The plane was festooned with cameras and he gripped a hand held one throughout.
The plane was deliberately set up to plunge down when he left the controls. And he pointed it at a mountain.
He had a highly manoeuvrable professional parachute on from the ground, not an emergency one in the plane.
Once parachuting you normally try to get away from the aircraft in case it spirals into you. He does the opposite, he follows it to the ground. The plane was bought cheaply, and was sold for scrap/parts.
He has a fire extinguisher concealed on his person. He collects all his cameras, and does not report the crash for many days. In the intervening period, he has recovered all trace of the wreckage, so accident investigators have no evidence to work on.

Not in the least bit suspicious.

I'd have thought deliberately crashing a plane would be illegal why isn't he being prosecuted?
