[00:15.94]Lesson 79
[00:17.20]By air
[00:18.55]I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy.
[00:22.70]My parents used to live in South America
[00:25.69]and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays.
[00:30.05]A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience.
[00:36.15]I am used to travelling by air
[00:38.58]and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
[00:42.76]After taking off,we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height,
[00:48.94]when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport.
[00:54.25]While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm
[00:59.01]and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down.
[01:04.16]Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened.
[01:10.16]Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board.
[01:14.86]The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.
[01:19.65]After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly.
[01:24.06]Fortunately,nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again
 
Why did the plane turn back?
