"We were passengers on the seaplane that tragically crashed at Rottnest Island on Tuesday January 7, and we would like to pass on our thoughts and thanks to all involved," the couple said. The couple also thanked members of the public who came to their aid immediately after the crash, medical staff on Rottnest and Fiona Stanley Hospital.
