He knew about that specific rock formation which was the linchpin for the entire thing. Lets not kid ourselves here that this is just a trick of knowing the right resources to use. This is literally years of memorizing very specific details about every part of the earth.

I think the most important takeaway here isn't that Rainbolt knows every place on earth. He had no idea where exactly the scenery outside of the place was. No, the most important thing is that a lot of people most way too much info about themselves online to make this possible. If this was the only image Rainbolt had access to and it wasn't posted on the day of the flight then I don't think he would've found it. But all the context clues about the user that posted it make it possible. If I posted a random image of a street in a town I cycled through to school every day he probably wouldn't be able to find it, but if I then also posted where I live and where I went to school then it's suddenly quite easy.
"If this was the only image Rainbolt had access to and it wasn't posted on the day of the flight then I don't think he would've found it." I think he would have found it, but it is way harder and takes longer.
It would still be extremely easy to find the exact flight with just that image (and the knowledge that it was tweeted live), it's an aerial view spanning miles with multiple defining landmarks which is arguably better info than the streetview in GeoGuessr. It would just take longer since he couldn't immediately confirm it's Mexico at that exact airport, he'd need to manually look over the map where he thinks it is to find it.
big fan, but that seat placement is incorrect. as a massive plane geek i can easily tell that the seat was much farther back, likely in the last few rows, and due to the length a321 NEO, which is what aircraft he was on. easy mistake for a non avgeek to make.
I'm not even an avgeek and I was surprised to hear him say he's right behind the plane. Def looked a bit further back to me just based on where I usually sit on flights
Although maybe he shouldve downloaded the photo because there could be a chance he gets the exif data which would tell the time, day, and location of the photo,
Not sharing vacations on social media is solid. Not only does it put your safety while traveling at risk but it can lead to break ins. It's not unheard of for criminals to scope out potential victims on social media.
I like how you made this video not just as something funny, but also as a way of showing that people with bad intentions can and will do these things and that people should be careful with what they post online. you a real one bro
I think it's pretty doubtful either of them would be interested in each other. Rainbolt is doing what he loves and gets to make all his own choices, and I imagine he's making a pretty decent amount of money off it with how he's been traveling the world. Gov jobs have pretty mediocre pay. And I imagine getting him a clearance would be a nightmare with all the foreign countries he's been to in recent years and all the contacts he has in other countries.
Nation state actors don't need these skills, especially not top tier ones like CIA, NSA, Mossad, or SIS/MI6. They get the email address for the X account, cell phone linked to the email address, flight plan and hotel reservation from the email or phone, location from the original image on the phone, etc.
I work at an airport for PNS and yes it's super easy, we keep a log of all flights even on flight radar and all we need is the day and a picture of any part on the aircraft. The reason it makes it easy is because ALL flights are usually the same plane for most other airports like 124 2002 2062 etc we also never work on WIDEBODYS only E, CRJ, 73's and A320 family. Never post a picture of your location on a plane if you have people really trying to look for you.
nah don't worry you're good. you don't have any videos on your channel, so he can't use some browser extension that displays channel location below the video.. and you also don't have a channel description. plus RUclips values user privacy so it's not possible to access location info publicly. plus even if you did have video, you could have simply changed your channel location to some random country and he would never know.
He found this dude because of his posts on social media. If you have no posts of real life or what you happen to be doing you're good. Posting memes wont catch you either. 4chan found a location of someone purely through the cloud position but otherwise would have no hope unless the dude clicked an ip grabber or something
Weirdly I think when he talks to like his other monitor and not directly to the camera, I prefer it, it gives him personality. We feel like we are sitting in on his session rather than being spoken directly to
I appreciate that you get across the importance of privacy protections in this video! It's crazy the tools we have at our disposal. Be safe out there, y'all!
There's a point in his videos where I feel like he just made a random assumption which could have been wrong and would have led to his answer being wrong but it ended out correct either way
if he assumed wrong, then the flight path wouldn't line up, and then he can correct his assumption, but until then occam's razor holds. It's much easier and more likely to assume he's taking a flight from new york if he takes regular flights rather than from a complete other place he never posted about.
It's very much possible that this guy would go to another place, but the chance is small. He clearly lives in New York because of the Strava images so why would he fly anywhere else?
I’d think that the most likely reason he’d be going somewhere else is a connecting flight. JetBlue mostly flies out of New York and Boston, but they operate quite a few flights out of LAX. So a relatively short hop to LA then a Transcon to JFK.
Normally you know which airport by the plane that takes off since certain companies are more likely to take off from certain airports depending on where they're going. Agreed, very dangerous to post this. It's more info than taking a pic in your local park.

Hey there’s a video of a car to have been stolen recently. And the person to have had this car stolen from him said the cops couldn’t do anything about it. And since there’s photos, Instantly thought about you being able to find the “general” location to where the stolen car photo was taken. Not sure if it would make a vid but some general information about its possible current location would be cool. I just feel bad because it’s an expensive car m.ruclips.net/user/shortsZnX7w-4ZFNY
"Do not post live on vacation". That's something that can't be stressed enough and also applies to military related vehicles.

This guy is proof that you should be very careful about your privacy and what you post. It's terrifying to think that there are people who do things like this maliciously.
The flaps didn't fully extended, that's why the plane looks like it's not landing And the winglet model on the plane belongs to Airbus A320 family (A318/A319/A320/A321) which of course the fleet of JetBlue
you guys act like he is the only one capable of doing this... he does it rly fast due to experience and knowledge but a person without that knowledge in their head has it in google. everyone could do what he did, just not this quick. so dont downplay the doxxing that can happen

"If this was the only image Rainbolt had access to and it wasn't posted on the day of the flight then I don't think he would've found it." I think he would have found it, but it is way harder and takes longer.

Rainbolt, the man who doesn't touch grass but knows more about it than anyone else.
