An Alaska Airlines passenger on a flight from Hawaii to Alaska captured video of flooding from a lavatory sink during a flight on Friday, March 29, 2024.
An Alaska Airlines flight from Honolulu to Anchorage had to turn around after a malfunctioning bathroom sink flooded the cabin of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet, according to reports. The flight took off at 10:16 p.m. Friday, according to FlightAware. When the water began leaking about 90 minutes into the flight, the captain of Alaska Airlines flight 828 decided to turn around, according to the DailyMail. The plane landed back at Daniel K.
The blowout prompted the FAA to ground similar Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners for inspections. The grounding resulted in thousands of flight cancellations. Last month, passengers who had been on the Alaska Airlines flight with the door plug blowout midair received a letter from the FBI that they may be a "possible victim of a crime." FOX Business' Stepheny Price, Haley Chi-Sing and Daniella Genovese contributed to this report.
