a. That occurs within U.S. jurisdiction or involves a U.S. commercial carrier,

b. Where the cause is intentional or unintentional,

c. That results in substantial property damage, or

d. That results in injury (requiring medical attention beyond first aid) or death of anyone (passengers, crew, pedestrians, other workers, or bystanders) within 30 days of the event.
