3. John and David’s flight home from Amsterdam was at
nine in the morning. They had arranged to meet with
John’s friend Mark at half past six but Mark arrived at
the hotel almost half an hour late – that, however, was
just the beginning of their problems. On the way from
the hotel to the airport, their car broke down in the
middle of a busy intersection, causing a traffic jam.
Then, David realized that he had left his mobile phone in
the hotel, but it was too late for them to turn back. When
they arrived at the airport, they had just enough time to
check in, go through passport control and security check
and get on the plane. The plane took off very shortly
after that and eight hours later, they landed in New York,
but they couldn’t get off the plane because there was a
problem on the runway. They felt a jet lag and finally,
forty-five minutes after landing, they got off.
