The disaster is the third deadliest aircraft incident in aviation history (after American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175), and is the deadliest accident in aviation history.[1][2][3][c]
The other two are the planes that hit the world trade center on 9/11.
I always understood disaster to be describing more of an accident, but obviously it can also describe a terror attack where someone intentionally crashes an airplane, fair enough.

Well if the attacks were only possible because of systemic shortcomings, it can be considered a disaster for sure.
