I mean that plane could have caused a lot of damage. He’s lucky it didn’t kill anyone or seriously damage the environment.

a big concern here would be fire since it's a plane. even though he pulled this stunt in December, fire concerns are year round at this point in CA and the area he crashed in is vulnerable to out-of-control wildfires; some of it hasn't ever burned in recorded CA history, from what i can tell--and that would obviously make any fire particularly bad.
