Travel Anecdote: putting the story in order

•   This happened about five years ago.
• I was coming back home from Turkey
•   where I’d been on holiday with some friend
•   Who had rented a bungalow in the mountains near Ankara.
•   Anyway, we were on the plane and had just taken off
•   when there was a loud bang from the right hand side of the plane
•  And I could see a lot of smoke coming from one of the engines.*
•  Of course, everyone started looking around but the plane carried on flying normally. *
•   And then a few minutes later the pilot came o
• and said there was a problem with one of the engine
•  And we’d have to return to the airport.
•   I felt pretty nervous, I can tell you, but I tried to concentrate on my book *
• And about ten minutes later we landed without any problems.
•   We had to wait for about an hour, and then we got back on the plane.
•   Actually it was a different plane, and I was pretty relieved that it was.
