    No, it's not ironic, it's a coincidence

    If the people in the flight simulator were the actual pilots who were supposed to fly the plane that crashed, but instead were sent for extra training for some beaurocratic reason, and their replacements ended up crashing the plane into them because they were incompetent... that would be ironic
