Narrative:
About 3-5 mins after takeoff, I smelled a very heavy smell of burning rubber. This lasted for about 15 mins. The entire cabin smelled of it, and the passenger and crew were very concerned. The captain got a good deal of air circulated through the cabin, and in about 20-25 mins into flight, the smell dissipated. He had emergency vehicles on standby in sju as a precaution, and we landed safely. (He wasn't sure if our tires had been damaged on takeoff or not.)
