Gatt, as some of us know you are a pilot and fly out of the Troutdale
(Oregon) Airport. Some of us also know of controversy concerning a
stand of trees in the flightpath of the Troutdale Airport.

An individual, who is against the removal of the trees, puts something
into the fuel tanks of airplanes at the Troutdale Airport. You take off
in your plane, and clear the runway. After a few minutes in the air,
you lose all power. You are unable to make it back to the airport and
you crash land your plane. There are no physical injuries to you or any
of your passengers, but your plane is damaged beyond repair. You are
also fully covered by insurance.

The individual, who put something into the fuel tanks of the airplanes,
intent and full belief was that what they did would keep the planes
from even being able to take off.

Gatt, knowing all this, would consider the individual's actions an "act
of terrorism" or mere "vandalism"? And, if you think it would be an
"act of terrorism", at what point did it become so, rather than mere
"vandalism"
