American Airlines passengers react as cabin floods with 'disgusting' liquid midflight

Passengers on an American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, were met with an unexpected surprise after a lavatory water leak reached the aisle of the cabin.

One passenger, Hilary Stewart Blazevic, told Storyful that a woman used the restroom prior to the leak and didn't inform the crew of any issues.

Flight attendants rushed to the scene attempting to stop the leak, according to a video recorded by Blazevic.

The water was unable to be shut off, and the leak crept down the cabin during the nearly three-hour flight. 

Fox News Digital reached out to American Airlines for comment.

"It was utter disbelief and a little panic realizing they can’t shut off the water," Blazevic told Storyful.

In the video, passengers are seen holding up their bags to avoid what Blazevic referred to as "disgusting" liquid, while some attempt to step over the water.

Dustin Parker, a passenger on the flight, told KTUU-TV that the water reached two-to-four inches.
