Did you know that your boarding pass is a life insurance?
Back in the 90s in Argentina, nobody checked id for national flights. Was common to give ticket to a colleague were missing a meeting (this particular route was almost like a bus)
Then a plane crashed at takeoff and everyone died. Some people got lucky because they gave the ticket to a colleague.
Turns the family of said colleagues could not get a death certificate, recover bodies or get insurance as they “officially” weren’t on the plane nor insured.
Incidentally the theme of a very nice dutch song, guy dies in rental car, burns out, wrong person identified, person is suddenly free, enjoys is, but is he brave, is he fleeing? Emotional ride for person. One of my fav songs, some beautiful sentences like "... And of all his boyhood dreams, only growing old was achieved..." [0] Over the years/decades of their career these artists return to the story of Herman (the main person). Absolutely beautiful (ultra-Dutch videoclip btw, it's how my grandparents lived).
