#2Wait, in their chart, 9.11 is not counted as intentional crash? What was it then?

It wasn't intentional by the airline pilots - it is usually classified as terrorism.

They're defining intentional crashes as those caused by the pilot. The 9/11 planes were hijacked and crashed by passengers.

#5Not just a simple murder/suicide, either, which frequently involves people who know each other. This is flat-out mass murder, terrorism, call it what you will. Killing hundreds of strangers would rank you at the top of any serial killer list.

#6The article is terribly written and accusingly ambiguous with scope. This quote from the fine article is not better in the context of the article that it is here on its own:
> While intentional acts traditionally aren’t included in air-crash
> statistics, they would be the second-largest category of deaths
> worldwide if they were, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Re: Murder-Suicides by Pilots Are Vexing Airlines as Deaths Mount
#7> Fatal crashes of private, business, and corporate-executive airplanes have increased after publicized murder-suicides. The more publicity given to a murder-suicide, the more crashes occurred. The increase in plane crashes occurred primarily in states where the murder-suicides were publicized. These findings suggest that murder-suicide stories trigger subsequent murder-suicides, some of which are disguised as airplane accidents.

The media has known about their role in inducing murder-suicides by reporting on them for decades, but they keep doing it.

#8A nose dive maneuver (and any that are clearly anomalous and dangerous) should require simultaneous action by the co-pilot as the likelihood of a double murder-suicide would be incredibly small.

For the majority of charter/private/business flights this wouldn't be feasible as the vast majority of flights tend to be single pilot ops.

#10Is this an effort to reduce airline ticket demand?
