How like the public to be more concerned about themselves than the pilot.

Well if a car goes careening out of control while you're walking down the street and it looks like it could hit
you, would you at that particular instant be more concerned with yourself or the driver?

This wasn't a car careening out of control, it was a plane crashing.
And yes, if I saw a plane crashing, I would be more concerned about
those on board than it falling on me.
