Much has been made of the chaos and fear on an AirAsia flight forced to return to Perth last weekend - but it has emerged that at least one couple got off the plane with the story of a lifetime.
AirAsia flight QZ535 was 25 minutes into its flight to Bali on Sunday when cabin crew announced there was an emergency and oxygen marks dropped from overhead compartments.
A dramatic descent from cruising altitude ensued...but also a dramatic proposal for London lawyer Chris Jeanes and his girlfriend Casey Kinchella, who is from Perth.
NBC News reported Mr Jeanes had been planning to propose to Ms Kinchella when they got to Bali but the mid-air drama sped the process up.
"Luckily she said, 'yes,'" the network quoted Mr Jeanes as saying.
"We both reconfirmed with each other when we were on the ground."
Mr Jeanes is a an associate in the London office of US firm O'Melveny & Myers, while Ms Kinchella is an associate with Ashurst in London.
Her LinkedIn profile lists her as having studied law at the University of Western Australia from 2006 to 2011.
While the couple had a happily memorable story to tell from the dramatic flight, not all their fellow passengers exited the plane in as good a spirits.

Merv Loy told The West Australian the only instructions he received in English were to put their seatbelts on and “Brace”.
“We didn’t understand a word they were saying. It was pretty scary,” he said.
Glenyce Regan started praying as the woman next to her scribbled in a notepad through tears.
“I could feel (the loss of pressure) from breathing because I’ve not long ago had a heart operation,” Ms Regan said. “Then the masks dropped and it frightened the s... out of me.
“It (the advice) was all in Asian or Thai or something. We couldn’t understand anything that was coming over the loudspeaker.
“I instantly grabbed my rosary beads and put them around my neck.
“I thought we were gone. I really, really thought we were gone. My life flashed in front of me.”
Mark Bailey said some on the plane assumed the worst because of the crew’s “hysterical” reaction.
One woman told The West Australian she thought they were about to “crash-land in a paddock”.
Passengers rushed to put on lifejackets despite the lack of water below them.
AirAsia has since apologised for the incident, which is being investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
The scare comes four months after another AirAsia flight was forced to return to Perth because of an engine failure.
During that incident the pilot urged passengers to say a prayer.
