    1) A single act, such as placing a time bomb on a plane that later exploded and killed 13 people, constitutes a complex crime if it results in multiple offenses like murder and destruction of property. 2) Firing a submachine gun and causing multiple deaths from a single trigger pull is also considered a complex crime. However, firing a revolver twice and killing one person while injuring another would not qualify as a complex crime but rather two separate crimes. 3) For a crime to be considered complex under Article 48, a single act must result in two or more grave or less grave felonies.
