Life Insurance Vinning Machines at Airports

The policies ended after the plane flights took pla, ok, so they were just for the specific flight you were about to take. Can i ask, who would have gotten the pay out if your plane had crashed? I mailed my soft copy to my parents. Were afraid of flying because we just didn't fly as much. Unfamiliarity with anything breeds fear. But on the other hand, who knows? Planes did crash in the eighties. It's not hard to believe that at least one of those passengers, probably an infrequent flier in coach like myself, would have bought such a policy.
