The runaway trolley experiment is an excellent example of how words have different interpretations, and how those then change behavior while maintaining a consistent moral view. Change the words and people change behavior, while morality tend to stay consistent. Take the first example. Is it the button pressing train operator that is causing the deaths, or is it the fault of the malfunctioning train and the operator is simply mitigating the destruction. It would be similar to how a airplane pilot might decide to crash a malfunctioning plane in a low population area rather than high population area. I would not say that the pilot "caused" the crash damage, through the experiment might frame it as the pilot deciding to either kill 1 or 5.
