A new Frontier Airlines Airbus was forced to make an emergency landing after water from the airplane's bathroom flooded the cabin.
Frontier Airlines Flight 3566 took off from Denver International Airport on Wednesday at 11.03MST en route to Detroit Metro Airport, but was diverted after a faucet broke, according to air traffic recordings and flight tracking data.
The new Airbus twin-jet made an emergency landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport just before 2pmCST as pilots feared the water could come into contact with electronics.
'Mayday, mayday, mayday. We'd like to declare an emergency. Our forward lav sink has sprung a leak,' the pilot told air traffic control, according to audio on LiveATC.
'It’s spraying so much water that it’s flooding the entire cabin area in the back and we are worried about electronics. We’d like to divert to Chicago O’Hare.'
The airline said in a statement that the faucet in the plane's front bathroom sprung a leak, 'which caused water to flow along part of the aircraft floor.'
'As a result, the captain requested an emergency landing at Chicago O’Hare. The flight landed safely and no injuries were reported among passengers and crew.'
Keegan Morris, a veteran on the flight who was flying with Frontier on Veterans Day, shared photos and videos of the plane during the flooding.
The footage showed a slick floor as flight attendants tried to move through the cabin.
'Can someone at Frontier Airlines please explain to me why they are not paying for me to get another flight with another airliner considering their brand new plane decided to flood mid-air?' Morris wrote.
He claimed the airline's customer service only refunded part of the flight, and he will have to pay more to get to his destination.

Sink water. It could have been worse. Much worse.
Looks like some of that equality labor going on.
Was a passenger looking to get some copper?
That was my exact first thought.
Well, that's the official story. They should make the Airbus CEO and the union chief taste it to make sure.
Doesn't impact me - Frontier has been on my 'do not fly' list for several decades.
YEP... with toilet water it could have had floaters.
“Frontier Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) that operates on a no-frills business model designed to offer the lowest possible base fares.”
It’s a budget airline. You get what you paid for.
