Group Karma

MH 370 is an old story. Never mind if it catches world attention or is still an unsolved mystery but every time a plane crashes and lives are lost, I would be told it is because of group karma. Karma, touted in Buddhism as the Law of Cause and Effect, somewhere I read, can be in these forms, individual or group. The latter explains why so many people die together in both natural and man-made disasters. I always have doubts on group karma but now, when let's say, a rich man  commits an unwholesome act like committing murder etc., and uses his riches to get the support of all his family members and servants, wouldn't it be right to say that a big group of people has performed the same unwholesome act and share the same bad karma? Suddenly, I remember old Hong Kong TVB dramas where a whole bunch of police officers are corrupted by under counter money as well as a whole bunch of Hong Kong movies, like Andy Lau's Infernal Affair and even the whole series of Ekin Chen's gangster movies, Young and Dangerous I, II, III, IV. When a whole bunch of gangsters work against the good of society, there probably is group karma....
