What's the terrible noise?
The engines. The crew is warming them up. We're about to take gold from Vancouver.
Now, my ears hurt. I suppose that's the atmospheric pressure. How many things can happen to us in an airplane?
Nothing serious. It's going to happen to you just sit back and relax.
A minute later.
Excuse me. Do you want headphones for the movie?
We sure do. By the way, this is a direct flight, isn't it?
No. There is a stopover in Chicago.
I feel much better now. But what do you suppose we should do if something happens to the pilot?
The co-pilot will take over. These big planes always carried two pilots.
Then I feel relieved.
We will be arriving at New York in a few hours for your own safety. Please fasten your seatbelts. Wish you enjoy the flight.
