Just FYI, if someone spray paints your car the cops won't even bother taking a police report, since the paint can be removed...
However if any spray paint gets into a jet engine, it can potentially destroy the engine while travelling 700km/h at an altitude of 12km. This can turn a plane with people aboard into a missile.
In a modern plane? Not likely. Most planes have at least two engines so an engine going out isn’t a death sentence. And even if both engines go out you can still glide for quite a distance which allows you to get to an emergency landing. There’s a chance of a crash if the plane loses power during takeoff but again it has to be something pretty catastrophic going wrong for all engines to fail. A little paint getting into the intake won’t do much. It’s just going to get combusted and come out as gas.
Guilty of being awesome maybe.
Guilty of criminal damage. For exactly the event PA was found guilty of terrorism.
Both knowing well before the act that criminal damage was the crime they were committing.
Only one being used to forceably silence anyone supporting their views.
People using private jets can pollute with impunity... There is a club
