I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents, used to
live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An
airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I
am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt
frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly
gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the
airport. While we were waiting to land, a flight atendant told us to keep calm
and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on
board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we
learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been
told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane
was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later
we were able to take off again.&
