Actually the good news is you may not feel more than a slight bump. A Cessna 152 collided with a Lufthansa 747 departing LAX not too many years back and the Lufthansa crew didn't even know it. When they landed in Germany they discovered scratches and found out the Cessna crashed into them. Things didn't go quite so well for the folks in the Cessna - they died.
