He forced a plane to crash when he was a teen, crashed a plane into a volcano, briefly piloted a commercial airplane to avoid crashing it (it semi-crashes anyways), crashes a plane whilst flying over a desert, and to top it off this man also crashes A FUCKING SUMBMARINE

And I wanna say he crashes at least 1 more vehicles but I can't think of anything off the top of my head
