So I'm rewatching one of my favourite series of all time, Death Note, and I got to thinking in what ways could one abuse the properties and rules of the DN to kill people you don't have very little info on say through collateral damage?
For example, what happens if somebody I want to kill is on a plane flying somewhere. Is it possible if I got the name and face of somebody else who was going to on that plane and write in the DN their name and the cause of death as "Plane crash" and in causing a plane crash have a likely chance of killing other people on the plane, those that I don't have name and face for?
What if I wrote the name of a criminal, the cause of death as "exploded" and details of the death as "goes to a building at a specific address with various explosives, succeeds in planting those explosives and detonating them, killing himself in the explosion." it would be possible that somebody else in that building would die.
If the DN could be used in this way to kill people in ways other than directly writing their name down, that power becomes infinitely more powerful. Basically Light could easily orchestrate various ways of getting L killed without actually writing his name down.
