This is clearly a case of reckless endangerment. The pilot endangered himself, the people who were also on the helicopter who probably had no say in the matter, the people who would have had to recover the wreckage, who were on the bridge at the time or subsequently had to repair it.

"Children orphaned in Skye Bridge helicopter crash."
Why do you moralise over bad driving, yet condone bad flying?
