Terrified passengers feared they would “drow” 30,000 feet above the ground.
Traveling across friendly skies was as wet as sailing on the high seas for passengers on an American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minnesota on December 7, as the cabin began filling with water in mid-air. Done.
American Airlines did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
However, social media is definitely talking about the water ride.
“The movie playing in flight was Titanic,” Wisely reprimanded a content creator in the caption of a viral clip showing footage of a wet accident. The overflow scenes racked up over 7.2 million TikTok views.
Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” – which served as the theme song to the 1997 blockbuster about a luxury steamship that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 – played in the background of the post.
Video shows startled passengers running to escape the torrent of water, which was flowing into the aisle at the front of the plane due to a leak in the rear toilet.
According to Storyful, Hillary Stewart Blazevic, a passenger on the plane, claimed that a woman had used the bathroom and alerted a flight attendant about the leak. But the cabin crew member was unable to stop the waterfall.
“It was complete disbelief and a little panic, realizing they couldn’t turn off the water,” Blazevic said, adding that passengers picked up their luggage off the floor and stood on their feet to escape the “disgusting” pool. Picked up.
Critical online commentators are calling the chaos their “new ‘Final Destination’ scare” – comparing the disaster to a horror film franchise in which people are left with narrow escapes.
One horrified viewer wrote: “Taking pictures…in midair…drowning.”
An equally puzzled viewer commented, “Sinking at 500 mph at 30,000 feet.”
Another said, “The fear of a new final destination is unleashed.”
But that bit of water – which may or may not be sewage – is far from the most terrifying obstacle to blow up in recent months.
