边疆航空3566航班洗手间水龙头漏水淹客舱:宣布紧急状态备降芝加哥奥黑尔机场

美国边疆航空3566航班11月11日从 Colorado 州 Denver 飞往 Michigan 州底特律途中,因前舱洗手间水龙头漏水、水流漫进客舱,宣布紧急状态,备降伊利诺伊州芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场,机上无人受伤。
边疆航空在声明中说,该航班在航程中前洗手间的水龙头发生泄漏,水沿着机舱地板流淌,机长因此请求在奥黑尔机场紧急降落,航班安全落地,乘客和机组人员均无受伤报告。据现场乘客拍摄的视频,客舱过道一度积水。飞行员在与空中交通管制的通话中说,漏水正在喷涌、灌满后部客舱,机组担心水会殃及电子设备。据多家媒体报道,机上一名乘客恰好是水管工,曾协助关掉水龙头,但漏水量已经太大。
涉事飞机是一架空客A321neo,注册号 N688FR,航班号 F93566。航班追踪数据显示,它于11月11日上午约11时03分(山地时间)从 Denver 起飞,约13时53分(中部时间)在奥黑尔落地。边疆航空说,乘客当天晚些时候换乘另一架飞机继续前往底特律。

Frontier Flight 3566 Declares Mayday After Lavatory Faucet Leak Floods Cabin, Diverts to Chicago O'Hare
Frontier Airlines Flight 3566, flying from Denver, Colorado, to Detroit, Michigan, on November 11, declared an emergency and diverted to Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Illinois after a faucet in the forward lavatory sprang a leak and water flowed through the cabin. No one on board was injured.
Frontier said in a statement that as Flight 3566 was en route, the faucet in the forward lavatory sprung a leak, causing water to flow along part of the aircraft floor, and the captain requested an emergency landing at O'Hare. The flight landed safely with no injuries reported among passengers and crew. Video taken by passengers showed water covering the cabin aisle. In radio calls with air traffic control, the pilot said the leak was spraying so much water that it was flooding the rear cabin, and that the crew was worried about the aircraft's electronics. Several outlets reported that a plumber who happened to be a passenger helped shut the faucet off, but too much water had already escaped.
The aircraft was an Airbus A321neo registered N688FR, operating as flight F93566. Flight-tracking data show it took off from Denver at about 11:03 a.m. Mountain time on November 11 and landed at O'Hare at about 1:53 p.m. Central time. Frontier said passengers were placed on a replacement aircraft later that day to continue to Detroit.
