Unkown001- I'm aware of the "smoke event" on your flight. It was caused by a failure of the RH cabin air recirculation fan which caused some smoke and the electrical burning smell. The flt crew were advised by the cabin crew of the smell and the cabin fans were selected OFF. The failed fan was subsequently replaced.
This type of event is NOT common. In this case it was managed effectively by the crew.
