Plane Passengers 'Horrified' as Liquid From Restroom Leaks Down Aisle

Passengers on board a Spirit Airlines flight from Atlanta to Newark were “horrified” to see liquid spilling out from a plane lavatory, on Monday, April 22.

The footage captured by one passenger shows the liquid, first trickling, then streaming down the aisle, soaking the carpeting, as disgusted passengers look on.

The recorder told Storyful that “passengers rushed to lift their belongings and feet as a river then rushed down the center, as the plane touched down,” adding the liquid appeared to be originating from a rear lavatory.

An airline spokesperson said the spillage was “clean, potable water,” describing the cause as “an issue with a potable water line connected to a sink in the rear lavatory.”

“Maintenance addressed the issue and cleared the aircraft to continue with its next scheduled flight,” the spokesperson added. Credit: Masters of None Podcast via Storyful
