Did everyone land safely?
I would assume so. Otherwise we wouldn’t have this footage.
How does one bird cause this much smoke inside a plane?
Inside air is obtained from where the engines are located and if the engine is on fire then it’s going to suck in smoke to the cabin..

Why didn’t they release the oxygen masks?
Oxygen masks last 10 to 15 minutes..
