Vish, thank you, those icons are your usual exemplary standard. :-)
However, the main purpose of the error alert is to explain to you what
just went wrong. Sending an error report is a secondary issue, and
sometimes it's not even possible at all. An administrator may block all
users from sending error reports, but the error alerts will still
appear. So it would be incongruous for the alert to have an icon based
on the idea of sending information.

So the idea of the crashed paper plane is to represent something going
wrong, calmly but not frivolously. Similar ideas include a banana peel,
a splat, and a broken window.
