Passengers aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from Atlanta to Newark were left shocked and repulsed when a mysterious liquid began trickling down the aisle of the plane. The incident, captured on video and shared on Storyful, shows the liquid turning into a steady stream that soaked the carpet. While some passengers looked on in horror, others attempted to make light of the situation with jokes. One woman can be heard saying, “I love Spirit,” in the background.
As the video continues, passengers can be seen lifting their feet and belongings to avoid the flowing liquid. Some even took out their phones to capture their own footage of the wet mess. The incident occurred as the plane was descending to Newark, causing a rush of water to pour down the aisle. Passengers could be heard moaning in disgust as they tried to avoid the liquid.
According to an airline spokesperson, the spillage was actually “clean, potable water.” They explained that the water came from an issue with a potable water line connected to a sink in the rear lavatory. Despite the alarming sight, maintenance quickly addressed the issue and cleared the aircraft to continue with its next scheduled flight.
While incidents like these are rare, they can still cause concern among passengers. In this case, it seems that there was no danger to travelers as the liquid was clean water. However, it serves as a reminder that unexpected events can occur during flights.
Spirit Airlines has faced criticism in the past for its low-cost approach and customer service issues. This incident will likely add fuel to the fire for those who already have negative opinions of the airline. However, it is important to note that incidents like these can happen on any airline and should not necessarily reflect the overall safety or quality of an airline.
Passengers who witnessed the incident will likely remember it as an unpleasant and unexpected event during their journey. It is always important for airlines to address and resolve these incidents promptly to ensure the comfort and safety of their passengers.
