A terrified mum sent her husband what she believed was a final 'I love you' text as her plane 'nosedived' towards the sea on Sunday.
Nickola Tye filmed the events as her flight made an emergency descent, with oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling on a Jet 2 flight from Ibiza to Leeds.
The captain told terrified passengers to 'prepare for an emergency descent' as an alarm sounded.
The 39-year-old even texted her husband to tell him she loved him for what she believed would be the final time.

She told the Sun: "I didn't have my two young children or husband with me and all I could think was, 'I'm not going to get to see them again.'
"Because we were getting lower I was able to write a text to my husband. I said: 'The plane is dropping and the oxygen masks have dropped down, if anything happens I love you'.
"It was awful after we landed. When it's all happening your brain goes into shock, but when we landed, that's when it all hit us.
"That's when people started crying. There was a woman at the front who could not be consoled."

However, Jet 2 said that it was a 'controlled descent' and passengers were in no danger.
A spokesperson told LADbible: "On Sunday 16th July, flight LS264 from Ibiza to Leeds Bradford diverted to Barcelona due to a minor technical issue.
"We are aware of some sensationalist reporting regarding this divert so we would like to point out that our highly-trained crew followed procedure and made a controlled descent before landing safely.
"All customers were flown to Leeds Bradford on a replacement aircraft. We would like to apologise to customers who were affected, however their safety and well-being will always be our number one priority."
