May God bless that brave pilot who brought the plane down safely. May the soul of the poor lady who died rest in peace.
 
It’s interesting that the term for people on board the plane is “souls on board”.

Edited to add, the pilot is ex-Navy pilot from the days when women pilots were a new thing. I’m sure she was the best of the best to succeed in that environment and was trained to be exceedlingly calm in a crisis.
I would note however that for many of those folks, the emotions will come out in some other area of their life. My dad was ex-Navy, had been through a lot of combat situations and never got rattled, but in his last days when he was dying in the hospital, I saw him breaking down in tears remembering wartime situations from decades ago and saying how scared he had been at the time.

Well 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.you need to fill your self with God Love ,with prayers. Read Psalm 27 and Psalms 139 Full daily.It would be nice if you avoid unwanted negative news which is full of trash instead try to read any spiritual books about the saints or Catechism of the Catholic Church ,or Catholic New which is genuine only.God Bless

Psalm 27
Triumphant Song of Confidence
Of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers assail me
to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.

3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.

4 One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.

5 For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will set me high on a rock.

6 Now my head is lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud,
be gracious to me and answer me!
8 “Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, do I seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me.

Do not turn your servant away in anger,
you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off, do not forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 If my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they are breathing out violence.

13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
 
I would rather be hit, than live in fear of being hit.

I have been a Street Pastor for the last ten years, this often involves walking in the middle of angry drunks who are fighting. The last time we were out, there was about an hour of continued angry situations and fights; we did not see any police. The people I prefer to be with in these circumstances are ladies in their sixties and seventies, around my age too.

I cannot explain the profound sense of peace that I experience, we put our faith and trust in our Lord and go.
