The only surprising thing around this situation is that Jake Paul didn't promote it right before the crash.

I don't think Chris would have minded.

The other fatalities and subsequent orphans, of which there are vastly more, don't get ratings and don't offend a bevy of long standing sponsors.

I think neither did Paul. But if he did he probably at least has a backup of his stuff.

Irrelevant. J&J wasn't available at the time of the incident.

aflag | karma 1715 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2019-06-10 07:39:08+00:00

And we never found out what happened to Paul :(

Because MKBHD isn’t tweeting about this all the time.

..and jack didn't tweet it either.. now, that is class.

No one outside of the HN crowd and a couple of bubbles on twitter has heard a single thing about this, or cares in the slightest. There was no PR hit.

Weird, they don't mention the recently cancelled V-Rod.

rchaud | karma 15048 | avg karma 2.21 · | 2021-08-26 09:42:01

At least they didn't reference tendies

whistlecrackers | karma 32 | avg karma 0.8 · | 2014-06-25 19:18:19+00:00

No mention of Lamborghini, though.

LudwigNagasena | karma 4374 | avg karma 2.6 · | 2021-08-28 16:21:52

When this happened to Gab somehow no one cared.

Decker87 | karma 258 | avg karma 2.41 · | 2022-02-05 12:51:42

I am Jack's compete lack of surprise.

meshugga | karma 156 | avg karma 12.0 · | 2022-12-18 16:39:33

Both of which paulg didn't do.

pestatije | karma 588 | avg karma 0.42 · | 2023-06-20 13:47:56

thats just survivor bias...the ones that dont crash we dont get to see

tiahura | karma 1358 | avg karma 1.04 · | 2022-10-27 21:43:28

Carl and David don’t cheerlead so they don’t have anything to apologize for.

rdlecler1 | karma 3502 | avg karma 2.41 · | 2019-04-24 05:07:56+00:00

The article didn’t mention the spin out of G2VP which was surprising.

joeguilmette | karma 2518 | avg karma 4.37 · | 2012-08-11 17:42:04

This doesn't appear to be at all related to TacoCopters which was set up by Star Simpson and Scott Torborg.

flocial | karma 2021 | avg karma 4.64 · | 2019-02-28 04:53:47+00:00

True. I wasn't aware of Alex's contributions and while the passing is sad there was no context.
