Can you put Jesus behind the wheel of a school bus in GTA 5 and only steer him with voice commands? And which city in Skyrim actually survives the most bear attacks? YouTuber and streamer DougDoug regularly answers these and other important questions in life in his videos.

In his latest experiment, DougDoug leaves his over 1,000 live viewers on Twitch in GTA 5 the control of an airplane, The goal: keep the aircraft in the air for 30 seconds and then land safely. What can go wrong?

Well, a lot. Anyone who has ever steered a plane in GTA knows that simply left-right entries are not enough. Finding the perfect incline and starting or braking at the right moment are very precise matters. In any case, too precise for over 1,000 motivated uncontrollable Twitch viewers. Or isn't it?

With the help of a Python script, chat comments like "left" and "drive" were transferred into real movements. And so much can be revealed: The stream for the alleged 30-second stunt took over three and a half hours. How it turned out, you can see in the video linked above, in which streamer DougDoug summarizes the action in a compressed 10 minutes.

But wait there's more

DougDoug regularly conducts insane experiments like this. For example, he tries a car only using voice commands to drive through GTA 5.

However, he is not the only YouTuber who stages absurd experiments. So if you have inspiration for your next video game crime then have a look at Elena's article on the Youtuber Let's Game It Out, which kidnaps his entire neighborhood in the form of Keanu Reeves.
