[00:20.58]I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. [00:27.20]The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. [00:34.93]Last year, however, it came into use. [00:39.66]Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. [00:46.47]I am one of the few people left. [00:50.39]Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. [00:57.24]I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. [01:05.82]Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
