Just wondering, if the smell didn't get into the aircraft and nobody notices it what would of happened? Engine fire? Plane explosion? Sounds scary.

Oh, one more thing, the ground mechanic originally say it's just "burn plastic" and there's nothing to worry about (he talked to the FA crew and the pilot), but it was the pilot that insists a more thorought check and claim that the airplane was shaking abnormally during take-off.
