Smoke on EK 777

This is quite funny..... in yesterday's GDN:

Smoke alert aboard flight

DUBAI: An Emirates flight from Kuwait City to Dubai had to abort its take-off last night after smoke was detected in the cabin, a spokesman of the Dubai-based carrier said.The captain of the Boeing 777-200, which was carrying 346 passengers, made the decision shortly after the plane started picking up speed on the runway."Preliminary assessment by the captain indicated that the smoke came from the exhaust," he said, adding that more investigation was needed.He said one passenger was slightly injured after he left his seat while the plane was still moving, apparently in panic. All passengers continued their journey to Dubai on board another Emirates plane.
