This is tragic. Very sorry to hear it.
As an intern, I worked for a company and found in the employee manual that there were explicit restrictions on the number of execs who could be on the same plane or even in the same car!
I thought it was a silly clause and asked about it and the execs said, "Yes, the probability is small, but multiplied by the damage that would occur gives a very big risk of damage." That made a lot of sense. It doesn't cost much to avoid the risk, just take different flights.
