407.1 A plane took off from the airport and flew low over the city for some time. When it was gaining height, it had to return to the airport. Meanwhile the passengers were told to keep calm. After they had disembarked, they learnt that there was an important person on board. Someone had told the police that a bomb had been planted on the plane, but though the plane was searched thoroughly, nothing was found. Five hours later the plane took off again.

407.2 After having taken off from the airport, a plane flew low over the city for some time. Although it was gaining height, the plane had to return to the airport. During this time the passengers were told to keep calm until they had all disembarked. We learnt that there was an important person on board. Because the police was told that someone had planted a bomb on the plane, they searched the plane thoroughly. However, they found nothing so the plane took off again five hours later.
