A Gojet Canadair CRJ-500 on behalf of United Airlines, registration N563GJ performing flight
UA-4491 from Chicago O'Hare,IL to Columbia,SC (USA), was enroute at FL350 about 240nm northwest of Columbia when the crew initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet due to the loss of cabin pressure (average rate of descent about 4100 fpm). The aircraft continued to Columbia for a safe landing on runway 23 about 45 minutes after leaving FL350.
A passenger reported cabin pressure was lost, the passenger oxygen masks were released. A short time later smoke developed in the cabin - the passenger assumed from the oxygen generators - and dissipated until landing.
