Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Flight passengers from London to Amritsar soaked as water is seen leaking from overhead storage area roof on Air India Boeing B787 Dreamliner cabin.
An Air India flight from Delhi to London Gatwick Airport suffered a mid-flight cabin leak from an overhead storage unit.
The cabin crew kept encouraging the passengers. The pilot also urged passengers not to panic as water was leaking from the roof of the plane.
A user uploaded the video on social media, the video went viral.
The Indian national airline causes embarrassment as sometimes rats invade the flights and sometimes the roof starts leaking.
While a user suggested it was a ‘technical glitch’, others were angry with the lack of care and service of the airline.
‘This is a technical glitch. Can happen with any airline. Looks like the passengers are more comfortable than guys who propagate the video to defame the airline,’ a user wrote.
“This may not be entirely their fault. Maybe. But this implies that there was possibly a massive amount of frost that had condensed onto the root/overhead bin structures. Then if the skin of the aircraft warms up to above freezing, this can cause rapid melting leading to the cascade of water. But it appeared to be slowing down. Normally, this water would go sideways down the sides of the insulation into the bilge area of the fuselage that’s drained overboard. This is where it could be Air India’s responsibility – a rodent may have damaged the insulation in that area causing the failure. Because there’s also nothing else up there. And that was water. Not fuel, not hydraulic fluid and certainly not an overhead water tank,” another user said.
