Delta JFK/SNN - Smoke in cabin - Feb 28th

Delta 122 JFK/SNN - Smoke in cabin

Had some friends on that Delta flight on Saturday who were quite alarmed when the flight had to turn around and divert to Gander. There was supposed to have been smoke in the cabin and cockpit. Took 65mins to get to Gander. All were instructed to put on lifejackets!

Landed in Shannon about 11 hours late.

Is it the Canada Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) who investigate this matter?

Anyone know more about this flight?

Thx IMC99.

Forgot to say that the crew didn't risk deploying the oxygen masks in the cabin.

Rough flight!

Oxygen masks / Smoke

Red5ive,

Forgot to say that the crew didn't risk deploying the oxygen masks in the cabin.
Could you explain the exact risk?

I'm intrigued.....

Thanks,

DB

Red,

Why would you deploy the oxygen mask for smoke??? they're useless against smoke.
