The rain on the plane!
Chaos onboard British Airways flight to DC as water
POURS into cabin at 30,000 feet...
I am not the best flier in the world - I'm the first to admit it, but this would have me shitting my drawers. Juss' sayin'...
Crew members desperately tried to stop the relentless flow of water as the plane flew along at 30,00 feet in the sky. The plane - transatlantic flight BA292, left Heathrow at 10.40pm last Friday and landed in Washington DC at 10.55 on Saturday.
The Airbus A380 - a big-ass fuckin' plane - is a double decker plane with two flights of stairs, one at the front and one at the back of the airplane which has room for 500 passengers. BA blamed 'a fault with a water storage unit at the back of the plane'.
BA said: 'There was no safety issue at any point, this was from the clean drinking water supply. 'The flight continued safely to Washington and landed as normal.
'A faulty valve was replaced and the issue fixed.' The shocking technical fault occurred towards end of the 7 hour flight to the States.
Engineers managed to fix the valve and the same plane was back in the air the same day.
A guy who works for BA said that this is 'rare' as one staff member had never seen it happen in the three and a half years he had worked there. The plane is less than three years old. You do the math. Juss' sayin...

"Rare event", but they had a replacement valve on hand...
