Audio answer: ‘Don’t forget the doors!!’

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An Airbus was climbing to its cruise level when a passenger noticed something strange about the left engine. The fan cowl door was open and seconds after the passengers noticed this, the door separated from the engine. The same thing happened to the other engine also. This engine, the right one, was also damaged during the fan cowl door separation and fuel started to leak. The passenger alerted the flight attendant who told the pilots. They immediately cancelled their climb and initiated a descent to return to their airport of origin. Fortunately there was no fire, the plane landed safely and the engine with the fuel leak was shut down. The passengers disembarked and took another flight 90 minutes later.
