00:00 In a surprising video circulating online, an Air India flight caught attention as water
00:08 leaked from the overhead compartment while passengers were on board.
00:12 Shared by the Twitter user @baldwiner, the footage showed a steady flow of water, prompting
00:17 various speculations about the incident.
00:19 Accompanying the video, Baldwiner humorously captioned it as "Air India fly with us.
00:25 It's not a trip, it's an immersive experience."
00:27 This led to diverse reactions online, with some attributing it to a technical issue,
00:31 while others criticized the airline's response.
00:35 Another person responded, "This is a technical glitch.
00:37 Can happen with any airline.
00:39 Looks like the passengers are more comfortable than those who propagate the video to defame
00:43 the airline."
00:44 Highlighting the dangers of water leaks in planes, other users cautioned, "Water can
00:49 cause a short circuit in electronic circuits of the aircraft and may cause implosions and
00:53 thus explosions.
00:54 It's very risky."
00:56 Technical staff, especially ground engineers who certified the flights for take-off, should
01:00 be held responsible.
01:02 Offering an alternative viewpoint, another user suggested, "This may be entirely their
01:06 fault.
01:07 Maybe.
01:08 But this implies that this was possibly a massive amount of frost that had condensed
01:11 onto root overhead bin structures."
01:14 At last, Air India responded to the incident, stating, "Flight AI169 operates from Gatwick
01:19 to Amritsar on 24 November 2023, had developed a rare occurrence of condensation adjustments
01:25 inside the cabin.
01:27 Some of the guests seated in the affected rows were promptly relocated to other vacant
01:30 seats and given the circumstances, the cabin crew made every effort to make sure the guests
01:35 are comfortable.
01:36 Air India stressed it is committed to the safety and comfort of guests on board and
01:40 they regret the unexpected incident.
01:42 "It's a shame that the passengers were not able to take off and land safely.
