Keep in mind that this guy isn't in trouble for crashing his plane per se, the FAA is on him for "careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another".

If you're something like a movie studio, you bring in the experts that help you plan a stunt to be done safely. Insured. Plan, plan plan. Also probably get permits, have fire fighters on standby, etc. Basically the exact opposite of "careless or reckless".
