So, vengeance crashes (or intent to) DO happen.
I remember reading about Fedex 705 decades ago when it happened in the newspaper - the account was so gruesome it gave me chills. It wasn't clear if the pilots would survive afterward, but all of them did. I was so happy they pulled through.

I'm not sure if any of the people in the other thread about allowing guns in the cockpit remember these events. People are people, and as you said vengeance takeovers and crashes happen.
