Just a hunch, but - my money thinks the near collision and downed plane were the inescapable consequence of some people refusing to properly appreciate some other people's preferred personal pronouns.
(that's a lotta "p"'s for one sentence)

Here is a question pertinent to that hunch:
Why aren't group pronouns given as much attention as personal pronouns?
Does this group have a preference?
How about - "us / we" ?
Should it be voted on?

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
