The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool... by removing themselves from it. We commemorate the men and women who gave their "all" in an effort to improve the human species. Of necessity, the honor is generally bestowed posthumously.
Anybody that illegally messes with an aircraft that is carrying other souls and therefore putting them in jeopardy deserves to pay the ultimate price. No different than grabbing a wire bundle and cutting it in my opinion.
