That metaphor has been around for a lot longer than 10 years and I'll continue to use it. Airplanes have been flown into human-made structures for a long time, either as an act of war (kamikaze pilots) or malice (Joe Stack) or mere stupidity.
I prefer that metaphor over "train wreck" because the latter has the sound of being accidental. No. It's not mere incompetence. You do not make CEO someone who made millions in IPO spinning unless you harbor a deep hatred for the company on whose board you serve. The intentional plane crash metaphor is perfect.
