Interesting video. Talks of the F/A's running through the cabin getting organized. Passengers told to don their life vests. It's dark outside.
Cooling fan in the cargo hold was reported as the source of the smoke. Wonder what the cockpit indications were? Cargo fire warning, with smoke in the cabin, would be a hair raising combination which might have been the trigger for the PA about donning life vests and the possibility of a ditching. Night ditching in the northern hemispheres is one of the worst events we talk about.
Looks like a nice job by the crew preparing for an event that ultimately was degraded.
