USAIRWAYS SMOKE FILLED CABIN

This is a USAIRWAYS flight 35,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean in route from Phoenix to Maui on September 17, 2010. The 175 passengers were 4 hours into the flight, 2 hours from land. Passengers are in a smoke filled cabin with alarms sounding off. This was a terrifying experience for all. Our plane made an emergency landing at SFO two hours after the smoke started.

while this is smoke, it's really nothing to be alarmed about. this kind of thing, while unfortunate, happens all the time. there isn't anything anyone or the airline can do to prevent, it's just one of those things that just happens. the best thing a pilot can do is land, and I commend the pilot for his decision to divert to SFO. again, this was not the fault of US Airways, this type of event happens on every airline. And BTW, there has never been a fatal accident involving an A321.

@767deltaairlines They are only used when the cabin is dipreshureized
