The accident happened because a piece on the airplane wasn’t put back on the right way. The company that made the plane didn’t teach the workers well enough or check their work carefully. Also, the people in charge of making sure planes are safe didn’t do a good job checking on things.

And the whistleblower trying to warn people about this and other issues was potentially executed by the company.

Right because you’re the source of authority on how and why these people died.

If I was determined to commit suicide, I'd probably try to accomplish other goals with it if I could. For that person, FUD might have been his secondary goal.

I imagine if someone is contemplating suicide, they are not in a good place. Trying to sow FUD would be in line with that.

A tragedy begetting more tragedy.
