Where there's smoke there's (not always) fire

When an engine suffers structural damage the resulting vibrations can cause the oil seals to be compromised. Hot oil enters the airflow > pressurisation system > cabin and forms a mist that looks like smoke.

What an awesome job by the tech and cabin crew. Bravo.
