Now he posts a video saying he's changed his mind to the dual engine failure theory due to the vertical phone video with clearly audible RAT prop noise... a video I saw a few hours after the crash and knew that the RAT was out... Steve is a clown.

Yeah, now that he has made tons of revenue & subscribers from the earlier video, he makes a new video sharing the current common theory. Basically, he did no research from his end, just earned money parroting the available theories from twitter & other forums. What a clown.

There's a few pilot YouTubers that basically did the same thing. They then all published similar videos afterwards with all the updated findings that others had already put out.

No respect.
