A question of rules
 
#6
The airline pilot one is an interesting question, because in theory it *should* be against the rules - it causes the death of someone whose name wasn't
written in the note. Except if that happens, the person instead dies of a heart attack... which would lead to the same situation.

Perhaps a reasonable default in such a case is that they'd die of a heart attack once their death wouldn't cause anyone else to die... ie, after the
plane had landed. It seems to fit the basic style used in the failsafes on the note. Or at least it's simpler than anything else I can think of.

I'd be surprised if the interpretation of method of death isn't based on the intent of the user. Again, not so much a rule as because it's
consistent with the style of the other rules.

-Morgan. I always wondered what happens with someone who can't die of a heart attack...
