Arthur Hailey. Airport (№ 232192)

Different people heard the boarding announcement, and for someone it meant one thing, and for someone - completely different. For some, it sounded quite ordinary, was only a prelude to yet another boring business trip, from which they, by their Kohl, refused to be happy. For others it was something promising, manivshy for adventure, but to someone else it promised a speedy end of the journey, returning home. One it bore the separation and sadness, others, on the contrary, promised the pleasure of meeting. There were those who, listening to this ad, thought not of himself: left to their relatives or friends, but for them the names of the towns sounded mysterious and enticing, creating vague images of some remote corners of the earth, which they will never see. Someone was listening to the boarding announcement with fear; only a few - with indifference.
