This happened over twenty years ago. I. ___1. (stay) with some friends who ___2. (buy) a cottage in southern Italy and I was flying back home to London. We were about twenty minutes into the flight when I ___3. (realise) something was wrong. We ___4.(climb) to 10,000 meters and the pilot ___ 5.(switch off) the seat belt sign. We ___6. (fly) smoothly for about five mintues when I  ___7.(see) an old man on the other side of the cabin staring out of the window with an expression of pure terror on his face. Then he ___8. (raise) his hands in the air and  ____9.(say) very loudly, 'My God, we are all going to die!' Two flight attendants, who ___10. (chat) nearby, came over and  ___11.(look) out of the window. One of them immediately  ___12.(run) to the front of the plane and ___ 13.(go) into the cockpit, and at the same time, I felt the plane begin to lose height. Then the pilot made an announcement. He said we ___14. (lose) one engine and we would have to return to the airport. At the time I thought this meant one engine___15.  (stop) working, but I later learned that the engine  ___16.(actually / fall off) the plane and I wondered whether it  (hit) anybody on the ground. I never ____17. (find out) but at least the mishap ___18.(not / damage) the wing or any other parts of the aircraft and we ___19. (land) about 30 minutes later without trouble.
