[00:00.49]I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy.
[00:04.89]My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays.
[00:12.14]A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience.
[00:18.50]I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
[00:25.58]After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height,
[00:32.46]when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport.
[00:37.51]While we were waiting to land,
[00:39.97]a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down.
[00:47.72]Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened.
[00:53.89]Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board.
[00:59.36]The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.
[01:04.76]After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly.
[01:09.52]Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.
