Recently a Boeing 707 left London with 128 passengers. A minute after it took off, a fire broke out in one of the motors. It could not be controlled and the crew decided to turn back. Firemen in special fire-engines (消防车) rushed to meet the plane. It was coming in very fast with black smoke behind it. It landed and moved along at full speed. The fire-engines sped along behind it. The plane came to a stop. Within seconds the firemen were fighting the fire. At the same time, special doors and windows in the plane were thrown open. The crew worked calmly but very quickly. The passengers got to the ground by sliding down a special piece of cloth from the plane to the ground. In less than two minutes all the passengers and crew were out. Nobody was hurt.
