WATCH: American Airlines Plane Floods With Water Mid-Flight, Bewildering Travelers
The leak started in the bathroom's rear bathroom, according to a passenger
American Airlines passengers were bewildered when a bathroom leak started flooding their plane mid-flight.
The incident occurred on Dec. 7 during a flight from Dallas, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, sending dirty water streaming down the aisle.
"It was utter disbelief and a little panic realizing they can't shut off the water," Hilary Stewart Blazevic, a passenger on the plane, told Storyful, according to the New York Post.
She added that her fellow passengers cleared their bags from under the seats and lifted up their feet to avoid the "disgusting" stream.
A TikTok user joked "The inflight movie was Titanic."
"imagine drowning ...on a plane.... in the air," another added.
"Another reason to wear closed toe shoes and not flip flops and crocs," a third TikTok user cautioned.
In August, an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Madrid had to land in New York due to an overflowing lavatory.
An American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas to Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea turned around 5 hours into its journey, returning all passengers from the airport it initially took off from due to a "toilet issue."
