THE PROPOSAL PRANK

Bordignon staged engine failure of the airplane they were flying within minutes of take-off. He handed Wareham a checklist and told her not to panic and added:

“’I’m not getting any response on the controls here’ and then warning her they may even have to make an emergency landing in a field.”

Scared Wareham read out loud:

“Verify flight ring is engaged. Initiate ring engagement process. Follow steps 11 to 14.”

She realized it was a marriage proposal and shouted at him:

Bordignon told Wareham to continue reading:

“Will the pilot in command love the passenger forever? Check. Will you marry the pilot in command?”

After much tears, Wareham accepted his proposal and told him what an idiot he is.

There were also people that were of the opinion that Bordignon went too far with the prank and that Wareham didn’t appreciate the way he did it. Awsome Crafter claimed:

“This is forced. She knew if she had said no, he would have thrown her out of the plane. That’s why she is crying.”
