When the stock get wiped out anyone holding the stock will loose their money. Those people are called investors and will loose anything they invested. They do not have a choice. They bought a stock for something, and now it is worth 0 and will never be worth anything ever again.

There are of course other options in restructuring etc, but investors can always face the possibility of loosing all the money they have invested.

That's exactly what i said. Some guys will just lose their money. It no way means that airlines that went bankrupt will be physically destroyed: no one will scrap the planes or machine-gun the pilots. They will all be flying again the day the demand rebounds and COVID restrictions lifted, just under new legal entities.
