-the oxygen masks did not deploy automatically, the flight attendants had to do them manually



Makes you wonder if it was done to help keep people calm more than anything due to the unclear air.


Its interesting because the last flight I had I wondered how often does those emergency oxygen dispensers get used.

The cabin crew deployed them so that the pax wouldn't inhale smoke. The crew had to manually deploy since they are only designed to automatically drop when there is a change in cabin pressure.

Not very often thankfully, and you have about 30 minutes of oxygen in reserve.
