Is it insider trading if I bought Boeing puts while inside the wrecked airplane?

What if you are on a plane and door blows out but the only other passenger on the plane happens to be a Boeing exec by sheer coincidence?

I know what you're thinking, but no, you still can't push him out.

Anyone could have been on that plane provided they bought a ticket. The fact that nobody else was is irrelevant. The information was not only knowable to those with a fiduciary or confidentiality obligation to the company.

If you're traveling as a regular passenger, you still would not have a fiduciary relationship with Boeing and you have no confidentiality obligations regardless of who else is on the plane.

There is a chance that the plane crashing would improve Boeing's management.
