Narrative:
Immediately after takeoff, the coach cabin filled with smoke. The #2 flight attendant saw smoke and reported it to flight attendant #1, who in turn reported it to the cockpit. I looked around and verified it. There was no time for a planned emergency checklist. We were in the air for 8 mins. The captain turned around and we landed back in den immediately. Everyone was all right. No injuries. No distressed passenger.
