The experts are saying this was intentional, and I'm happy to believe them. Having watched the video back when it came out, my first thought was that maybe he was panicky or a second (third, fourth) rate pilot. Of course, I don't know much about aviation AND I'm really bad at reading people's intensions. That being said, even if my (admittedly bad) instincts are correct and this was accidental, I still think the FAA came to the right conclusion. They say you should assume ignorance over malice. However, there comes a point (or there are circumstances) where it doesn't matter what the origin of a thing is. If you crash a plane into a hill, even if it's just because you're really bad at flying planes, then maybe you shouldn't fly planes anymore. We have plenty of alternate transportation options available.
