The felony will be under reckless endangerment or some other statute for people who intentionally do criminally stupid things that could or have caused serious harm/damage.
You’re not getting off on some technicality where there is no specific law against a specific action. There are broad statutes to specifically nail people who think like that.
Edit: There is a lovely idiom for this—“play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.
- mardifoufs 5y agoI think he crashed in the middle of an unpopulated desert-ish area. I'm not sure what's the criteria is for reckless endangerment though, and maybe the intent matters more than the end result.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI don’t think it matters where the plane crashed if he wasn’t in control of it.

- Breza 5y agoIf you look at a map of the area, he ditched the plane in the exact place you'd pick if you were trying to stay away from large groups of people. That's one of the many aspects that suggest this was an intentional crash.
- bombcar 5y agoIt’s actually quite large and has a number of planes that went down in it in actual accidents - knew of at least one.
