China’s aviation regulator said the pilot was smoking an e-cigarette during the flight. Oxygen masks were suddenly deployed. Pilots made an emergency descent from 10.000 feets.
the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in a conference; "In the preliminary investigation, the co-pilot was found to be smoking an e-cigarette. Smoke diffused into the passenger cabin and relevant air conditioning components were wrongly shut off, without notifying the captain, which resulted in insufficient oxygen."
Nobody was hurt in this incident, nor was the aircraft damaged.
