The day started badly, I woke up late because I forgot about the alarm clock the night be- fore. I got dressed in five minutes and called a taxi to go to the airport. Thirty minutes later the taxi had still not arrived. I called the taxi company, and they explained that the taxi broke down. So, I decided to take my own car to Heathrow, picked up my bag and left the house. But when I got in the car, the engine wouldn’t start. I realized that 1 left the headlights on last night. I decided to try the taxi company again, but when I put my hand in my pocket, my telephone wasn’t there. I left it in the kitchen so I ’went back inside to get it. I opened the door and could’ hear the radio, which I forgot to switch off. "This is the BBC News at eight o’clock on Sunday the seventh of April," I heard. "Eight o’clock," I thought, "but it’s only seven o’clock," and I looked at my watch to check. Suddenly, I remembered. It was eight o’clock! The clocks changed that week- end! There was no point going to the airport now. The plane had already taken off. But as I sat there listening to the news, I realized how lucky I had been. A plane crashed just after take-off at Heathrow, and it was feared that all 217 people aboard died.
