The flight spent about 15 minutes in the air before returning to Don Mueang.

Any farmer with a lighter?

They try to sort out the Max 8 and along comes the newGen with more problems, Boeing's star seems to be sinking.

Someone left a window open and the smog from Bangkok started getting sucked in.

[JeffinChonburi]

I would think the oxygen would have dropped by this point?

Think you might be confusing New Gen Airways (a Thai airline) with Boeing's Next Generation (737 series).

This "E3" is indeed "New Gen Airways".

I would not voluntarily set foot on their planes.

Youngest plane 16 years, oldest 25 years managed by some Thai enterprise with a total fleet of 7.

That's what you get for buying cheap planes made in China

They only drop automatically on decompression (loss of cabin pressure).

There seems to be good reason not to drop them manually in case of fire/smoke.

One of them might be that oxygen and fire is a bad mix.

Sad state of affairs when the Chinese passengers are not allowed to have a barbecue. 

[monkeycu]

Someone doing a quick stir fry on board may have been the problem

New Get Airways, not NewGen 737. But Boeing has big issues and continued trouble since the FAA gave up monitoring them. 

[White Christmas13]

I wonder if anybody on TVF would complain if that plane would have been full of farangs

[Katipo]

Someone enjoying their medical marijuana perhaps? ????

[Regyai]

Carpet the floor with sputum and all push and shove each other

 

be like you're there already

 

????

[Cake Monster]

I hate  to imagine the amount of " Barking and Hacking ' and the amount of Phlegm that was left on the tarmac at DM after this load of Chinese disembarked from that Plane 

[faraday]

Should have opened the flipping windows!

Don't take away his raison d'etre, i.e. China bashing. He'll lose the will to live.

So some questions for the flyboys:

 

1. Where would this smoke be coming from?

 

2. The fact there is smoke in the cabin indicates what in terms of the engines etc? 

 

 

 

[Pique Dard]

boeing again? on the video, passangers look calm anyway

555 thats gotta be 1 huge massive gigiantic bong to cause so much smoke!!! Maybe the co pilot was also partaking with him

[emptypockets]

I'm surprised that any of the New Gen planes I've seen parked could even get airborne.

No sign of oxygen masks, what a shambles !

Surely the flight crew have manual release for oxygen?!
