Yes, but fatal errors are usually the type that can bring down the entire program, such as running out of memory or dividing by zero. An out-of-bounds exception often doesn't have to kill the program. Of course, if the developer wants it to kill the program, then they can override -[NSApplication run] to catch the exception and quit.
