The pilot says a sink sprung a leak in one of the restrooms, causing a river of water to flow into the cabin area. The audio was accompanied by a video shot by a passenger that shows puddles of water on the floor.
A rep for Frontier Airlines tells TMZ .... the flight was heading to Detroit from Denver when the faucet in one of the lavatories sprung a leak, causing water to flow along part of the aircraft floor.
The rep said the captain requested an emergency landing at Chicago O’Hare before putting the plane down safely with no injuries to the passengers or staff. Passengers changed planes before flying to their final destination in Detroit.
