With a market capitalisation of over 200 B US $, a temporary 10% drop from singular events like airliner crashes means quasi guaranteed short term down movement of about 20 B US $.
Now if you were an evil SOB and also had the means to trigger an airliner crash (not so easy, but impossible?), how much money could you make from exercising options on the stock market with your insider knowledge? Since it's usually always about the money in the end, should the audit not also include searching for eerily timely stock option deals? IMO it should.
