Andrew has it. They’re frozen forever in pre-collision. They’ll spend eternity waiting for the impact that never comes.

Even if this were animation, this frame would be frozen like this forever. It is the future frames that should be worried!
Didn’t John Keats cover this situation in “Ode on a Grecian Urn”?
