Looks like a bigger jet in the video. Wonder what would have happen if it was one of those 50 seater Bombardier jets.

Folks....the masks in the overhead will not protect you from a smoke situation. Punching and breaking them open to get at them won't matter. They are only designed to provide enough oxygen in the event the cabin loses pressure. They will not do anything for you, or keep smoke out if you put them on. I know that doesn't help from the fear standpoint, but it's something that you should understand. Airflow through the plane is your best friend, in this situation, depressurizing the plane would have been the next step if they were not able to put the plane back on the ground in short order. Chances are, they didn't have enough time to get that deep into the checklists before they had to land.
