American Airlines flight flooded 30,000 feet above ground. 

Can you Imagine drowning in the air? You must be shocked to hear this; it is not something that happens every day. People like to travel because it is the safest and fastest option available and because of the experience and comfort. On December 7, an unexpected situation was seen 30000 feet above the sky on an American Airlines flight.

After the American Airlines flight took off on December 7, which was taking passengers from Dallas to Minneapolis, it suddenly felt like a cruise to the passengers because of a sudden water breakdown. Flooding occurs when a leak in a restroom in the plane's rear section streams down the aisle to the front area as the news posts.

Generally, airplanes are certified by ground engineers whether they are fit for takeoff or not. Any water leakage can lead to emergencies, such as short circuits that cause system failures, so such incidents in the air are typically rare.

In an interview, Hilary Stewart Blazevic, an onboard passenger, explained the incident to the NEW YORK POST. She claimed that a fellow traveler first noticed the leakage while using the restroom, and she quickly rushed to the crew members and alerted them about it. The flight attendants did their best to conquer the leakage but were defeated despite their support. 

Hilary Stewart Blazevic said, "It was utter disbelief and a little panic realizing they can't shut off the water." She also added how passengers on the aisle quickly grabbed their belongings off the floor to save them from becoming wet. They were also seated in an uncomfortable position, lifting their feet high to avoid the "Disgusting" cabin water pool.

She took a video inside the plane showing how the water spread in the main cabin. The video went viral and had over 7 million views within a few days. The hook for the popularity was the Background Music, set to Céline Dion's theme song from the 1997 Titanic film. People also express their concerns regarding the issues and express their thoughts about them. 

The content creator posted the video on a social media platform called TikTok with the caption, "The in-flight movie was Titanic." As soon as the video got the attention of many people, the comment section also flooded with hilarious comments, such as a spectator writing, "Imagine drowning…on a plane…in the air." Another viewer wrote, "Drowning at 30,000 feet going 500mphs, lol. " Another added, "New final destination fear unlocked." 

Several other frightening events have occurred in recent months. In September, passengers of an Avianca Airlines flight going to Colombia started gripping their seats and praying when they faced severe turbulence. passenger quoted." It was a very panicky moment." while recording the mayhem in the cabin said, "[We] thought the plane was going to crash." In August, travelers went into a panic when suddenly oxygen masks unexpectedly deployed on their faces when the Air Algerie flight AH 1460 was flying and taking them to Lyon from Algeria. The aircraft was a Boeing 737.
