So how close was I to dying?

My brother watched a flight attendant sobbing and wailing "We're
gonna die! We're gonna die" as other flight attendants strapped
her into a seat and tried to make her shut up. (There was a fire
in the cargo spaces, and some smoke was coming into the passenger
area. They landed safely and nobody was hurt.)

Must have been comforting to the passengers. Wonder what happened to
her.

I would expect she would have been offered a job on the ground or invited to
leave. Sure it's a stressful situation and nobody knows how we will cope
however it's the FA's job to remain calm under these sorts of circumstances
so I doubt she was allowed to fly again.

Now, I want to find out which incident this was. Fire in the cargo
spaces?

That actually sounds dangerous!

Yes, I suppose it could well have been disastrous. But in this
case fortunately it wasn't. Many of the passengers were
absolutely terrified, and I remember my brother swearing that he
would never, ever fly again. But that resolution lasted only some
months, and since then he has been flying all over the world.
