You will survive, most likely
Rather likely. In fact, the chance of you surviving a general accident while flying a U.S. domestic airline is 95.7%.

Nate and Rita were traveling through Italy when they happened upon this beauty! What a rare and random find indeed in Italy! Perhaps Bo and Luke are now doing Moonshine runs for the mafia.
