Which is correct:
1) That crash was caused by a stupid error. The passengers of that plane died needlessly They should have been alive now.

Re: should/should have
The first is nonsense.
The second is possible but ambiguous, since it could be interpreted as indicating an expectation relating to the present (contextually absurd). To indicate the obviously intended meaning, we would say rather "they should never have died/needed to die".
