NWR: Fake Plane Crash Proposal

Ms. M, on September 28, 2012 at 9:47 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 19

"Early last February, pilot Ryan Thompson took girlfriend Carlie Kennedy for a romantic plane ride above the Chicago skyline. It started out as a fun pre-Valentine's Day date, but things took a turn for the terrifying when the small plane began to nose-dive towards Lake Michigan, with Thompson telling Kennedy that the control panels had gone down and that he needed her to read aloud the emergency protocol instructions. Of course, none of this was real — Thompson was in control of the plane the entire time and hidden inside the instructions was the question "Will you marry me." Kennedy, despite being overwhelmed with fear, said yes. How romantic!"

    I would have killed him. I don't think it's romantic at all. I think it's thoughtless and weird, and juvenile. But that's just me.

    Ha, yeah I'd kill him too! The passage I posted from the link was sarcastic btw ("how romantic"), though I'm sure the couple is happy with it. I'm glad FH didn't have any crazy ideas!

    Lots of my grooms have crazy proposals, but none of them involved fake life threatening situations.....

    Good point. The posted link mentions a Russian guy faking his own death as part of his proposal. I hope she said no (though I doubt she did).

    You've got to be kidding me! Makes you wonder what other kind of stunts he will pull in your married life. No thanks!

    I like the way my FH proposed. Safe, in Las Vegas, in our hotel room, resting on our bed, he asked, my heart was spinning out of control, love overtook me, I said yes Smiley smile

    Not romantic, just really awful. I would have felt forced to say yes, since I would think he was a madman who was um, in control of our plane.

    Thats really sick in my opinion I am not saying yes to someone who would have me in fear of my life when it comes to proposal. Some men are just plain clueless

    This is not romantic at all, it's scary and very dangerous!! I'm a nurse and it really bothers me when people put their life in danger knowingly especially bringing their loved ones into danger.

    Speaking as a woman marrying a pilot, I would have a) probably known that he was faking the crash (although I guess if they didn't fly together a lot it's possible she wouldn't have), b) known that he should have the emergency checklist for flight control failure memorized as part of his training, and c) never flown with him again. But my FH knows that. Apparently, she was thrilled by this, so I guess more power to him -it seems he's been blessed with never having a dangerous situation in an aircraft.
