I remember first seeing the video of the guy crashing his plane. It's one of the rare times I opened up yt-dlp just to download the video and archive it, because I was expecting him to take down the video after sufficiently many people caught on to the act.

While a maximum of 20 years prison sounds rather harsh, intentionally crashing a plane is no joke or laughing matter. It's unfortunate that things had to end this way. The FAA does not mess around.

Isn't the punishment not for deliberately crashing but for destroying evidence involving a federal investigation?

The fact that it wasn't a controlled crash it's what's most alarming -- a plane crash could be achieved legally using qualified stunt professionals etc -- he just parachuted out of a plane leaving the plane to it's own devices. While unlikely it's possible that plane could have crashed in to a person killing them.

34°48'53.6"N 119°57'40.4"W was where the airplane hit the ground.

If you have a look at Google maps, within a 3 to 4 mile radius, there are multiple kids camping grounds. Even assuming they are only sporadically occupied this is a new level of recklessness.
