Someone crashing a plane on purpose doesn't amount to terrorism - there would need to be a political motivation as well.

Edit: Also the post says up to 20 years .. not sure why you've become fixated on it being simply 20. People dropping planes out of the sky for likes need to be made an example of imo, and I personally would be happy to see him locked up for life as a deterrent to others. The lengths people are going to for likes is frightening.

I just hope you have absolutely no power in this world. You shouldnt have with your total lack of empathy and common sense. Locking an annoying guy away for life for a stupid prank... Nobody got hurt. And you're not even alone and don't even get downvoted like crazy. American society sure is fucked up.

Deterrence doesn't work, if it did, there would be no drug use (or insert any other crime really, you should see our incarceration statistics) in the US. Why do people still think this?

The biggest problem with deterrence is it relies on people not thinking they won't get caught. Everyone thinks they won't get caught.

My empathy is with the people who have their lives destroyed by reckless idiots pulling these "stupid prank"s for likes.. common sense says society doesn't appreciate this nonsense so deterrent is the only way to deal with it - but if you have as better idea I'm sure myself and the world are listening.

By that logic, we should shoot on sight for over speeding a car or drunk driving. I hope you know how many people die in automobile accident every day.

Nobody had their life destroyed, except maybe the idiot youtuber. He already paid with all the ridicule he's getting. That is deterrent enough. It's not like "faking plane crashes for likes" is common at all. You're really not making any sense.

He ditched a plane on purpose for youtube likes and you think he paid the price through ridicule - but I'm not making any sense, OK.

Well, his plane is broken too. Again, there has not been any damage to anyone. Of course his pilot license should be revoked. But jail time? I'm pretty sure he won't repeat that stupidity, so why lock him away. People in jail cost money. And if they get out they are more likely to go back due to stigmatization and questionable connections made in jail. You're not even doing yourself a favor.
