Passenger writes touching letter to her pilots after the Germanwings disaster
A letter written by a woman to the pilots of her flight has gone viral after one of their colleagues shared it on Twitter.
In the handwritten letter, the woman - identified only as ‘Bethanie’ - says that she was moved to reach out and thank the pilots for getting her home to her family safely by the aftermath of the Germanwings disaster.

She writes:
"In light of the very recent tragedy in the French Alps and the loss of those poor 150 people, I feel the need to reach out to you and extend a compassionate hand.
"At the end of the day, we are all humans just trying to live this rollercoaster of a life we have been handed.
"I understand an event so horrific as this one affects those with your responsibility more than others, and maybe sometimes a kind word, random but heartfelt, can make a difference."
The letter was shared by Jai Dillon from Cheshire - who is also a pilot - and it provoked a huge reaction online with many people moved by Bethanie’s words.
@jaidillon such an amazing thing for someone to go out their way to write and reach out to show comfort. Speaks volumes about human kindness

The airline and the pilots in qyestion have not been identified for security reasons.
@lizziedearden unfortunately I can't provide airline or flight no etc as they would need to give permission for that. Security rules sorry.
