AN AIR POCKET
Jim: How safe are aeroplanes, father? Father: Very safe. They are the safest means of transport. Mary: Dad, tell us again about that flight incident with the air pocket. Father: Yes… it happened in 1985. I was travelling on a Boeing 747 from New York to Ireland. Mary and Jim: To Ireland! Father: Yes. It was a business trip. Well, we were flying over the ocean when the plane took a dive. The airhostess was serving coffee and the passenger next to me was sleeping. I was reading a magazine. The cup of hot coffee was spilt on the magazine. Suddenly , the passenger next to me woke up terrified. The plane was shaking and many passengers were screaming. I knew that something was wrong. While I was saying my prayers, I heard the captain’s calm voice. “Please fasten your seatbelts. Don’t panic. It was only an air pocket. Everything is all right. We are going to land in Dublin, Ireland in about an hour. Enjoy your coffee.” Jim: Oh… planes meet air pockets and they also meet stormy weather. Father: That’s why we should fasten our seatbelts…
