Video: Passengers face water leaks from overhead bins on Air India flight

A video shared by @baldwhiner on X has gained widespread attention on social media, revealing water seeping through the overhead bins of a flight. The footage captures a continuous drip of water onto the seats of passengers.

The X user claimed that the incident took place on an Air India flight. The cause behind the water leakage remains undisclosed.

Accompanying the video is a sarcastic caption by the user: "Air India... fly with us – it's not a trip... it's an immersive experience."



While some users speculated a 'technical glitch,' others expressed frustration over what they perceived as the airline's lack of care and service.

One user shared a detailed perspective: “This may not be entirely their fault. Maybe. But this implies that there was possibly a massive amount of frost that had condensed onto the root/overhead bin structures. Then if the skin of the aircraft warms up to above freezing, this can cause rapid melting leading to the cascade of water. But it appeared to be slowing down. Normally, this water would go sideways down the sides of the insulation into the bilge area of the fuselage that’s drained overboard. This is where it could be Air India’s responsibility - a rodent may have damaged the insulation in that area causing the failure. Because there’s also nothing else up there. And that was water. Not fuel, not hydraulic fluid and certainly not an overhead water tank.”



To date, there has been no response from the airline addressing the incident.
