> Intentionally crashing a plane into a national park, in a state that deals with lots of wildfires, is incredibly reckless.

Given that wildfires are, as you note, common, why is that supposed to be an aggravating factor?

You can't actually make the wildfire problem any worse by starting an additional fire. The more frequent fires are, the less fuel there is for each fire to burn. And in the other direction, if you suppress a fire, all that means is that another fire later will be worse.

Something something “only you can prevent wildfires”…

“You can't actually make the wildfire problem any worse by starting an additional fire.”

What if there wasn’t a fire in the first place in this location

This is a common myth. Not all ecosystems are fire oriented. Is much more complex than just burn more often.

After some time you would have one humid ancient forest more, that would be an extremely desirable goal in California. Also very rare because is ruined by mantras that people repeat since thousands of years
