Panic is understandable momentarily, but any professional pilot should be able to overcome that within a few seconds, and remember their training, which in an emergency is something like aviate, identify the problem if possible, and run checklists. Panic doesn't solve anything, and there's a comfort in having checklists and procedures to run. Something must have gone very wrong in training or with the plane for this to happen. There's a standard short checklist for landing that includes flaps and landing gear. There may also be an emergency landing checklist that would also include those things. The voice recorder and flight data recorder almost certainly survived. We'll know more after those have been recovered and analyzed.
