And they still don’t know where the smoke came from? That’s kinda strange, isn’t it?

As a flight attendant I was completely amazed/appalled at the pictures that were taken in the cabin of flight during the emergency landing. Maybe I don’t all have the information but… if the reason for the emerg. landing at LAX was due to smoke in the cabin, what in the world were the OXYGEN MASKS doing deployed!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Please tell me if I’m missing something.

That is amazing, I hope that plane got pulled from the rotation and they are working on finding out what had happened.
