I'm only relaying what I heard. Yes, the FA should not have used those words, but did. And I'm sure as hell glad that the cockpit was notified ASAP; the issue at hand wasn't that some flimsy plastic fell down, but was that there was a possibility of further damage to the aircraft that could have made it non-airworthy. Yes, we were going too fast to abort, but in the heat of the moment, the FA did what she thought was right. I'm sure she'll react differently next time something out of the ordinary occurs.
