Shocked passengers watch liquid leak down airplane aisle from bathroom on flight: Video
Passengers on board a Spirit Airline flight headed to New Jersey witnessed an unexpected and strange sight midair when they watched a mystery liquid flow down the aisle, seeping from one of the plane's lavatories.
Video shows some passengers sitting in the aisle of the plane gawking at the fluid during this week's flight, while others laugh, some recording footage of the unexpected situation from their phones.
According to a Spirit Airline spokesperson, the incident took place Monday on Spirit Airlines flight 1595.
The plane departed just after 3 p.m. on Monday from Atlanta Hartfield Jackson International Airport and landed at Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:18 p.m. according to the online site Flight Aware, which tracks flight paths.

What caused the liquid to spill?
A maintenance team met the flight upon arrival in Newark due "to an issue with a potable water line connected to a sink in the rear lavatory," a Spirit Airlines spokesperson said in an email to USA TODAY.
The issue was addressed and the aircraft was cleared to continue with its next flight, the spokesperson said.
