Friday, July 5, 2024

Travelers at Miami International Airport encountered an unexpected sight on July 4th.

A broken pipe in Concourse G caused a green liquid to leak from the ceiling, creating fluorescent puddles on the floor.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported no flight delays as a result of the July 4th incident.

Airport officials promptly isolated the area and initiated cleanup efforts.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies the leaked liquid, glycol, as a common industrial compound found in various consumer products like antifreeze and cosmetics.

While generally safe, the CDC warns that glycol can be harmful if ingested.

Miami-Dade County officials are investigating the cause of the pipe break.

Airport authorities expressed gratitude to passengers for their patience during the disruption.
