In the video captured by a passenger on the plane, Hilary Stewart Blazevic, people are seen moving around in the plane and lifting their legs up in the air to avoid stepping into the water leaking of the restroom.
Blazevic later told Storyful that a passenger on the plane had used the lavatory before the leak started, stated the Fox News Digital report. A crew member is seen in the video shared trying to fix the leak but couldn't stop the water.
"It was utter disbelief and a little panic realizing they can't shut off the water," Blazevic said to Storyful.
