This doesn't change the point you're making, but thankfully it was only 9/134 people according to the article's tagline. The mix of the word "nine" and the number "134" makes it hard to spot

The in-flight thrust reverser deployment killed everyone on the plane, thankfully Niki Lauda took Boeing to task.
