Bermuda Flight Acrobatics by Marcus Schrenker, death faker

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 5 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

Money shot @ 2:30 - pretty damn cool.

Okay - this is a bizarre story that makes this guy so interesting: the pilot in this video (recorded in May 2000) is a skilled pilot - and apparently was convicted of defrauding people with his companies recently.

His wife divorced him and he faced a half million dollar fine - so he faked his death by jumping from his plane, and letting it crash on autopilot.

The twist is that he planned the location he parachuted down to - and after one run-in with the police, managed to make his way to a storage unit where he had cached his motorcycle!

The doubletwist is that we have a video of his skilled flying here to share with you today.

Oh damn - I just loaded the YT vid for Filter's "Take a Picture", which is the background. It starts off with a crashed and burning plane.

Creepy coincidence.

Also, hilarious photo.
"...but what I can say is that this is the douchiest photo ever!

The only people who should be posing for a vanity photo in front of their Lexus and their $1 million Piper PA-36 aircraft are named Jay-Z and Beyonce. And they would have the sense to put some real rims on that Lexus. Bling Bling!"

The plot thickens. Or thins. He's been arrested.

Moving this video to Krupo's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

For some reason I thought this video would have something to do with his faked death...
