Plane forced to emergency land at London Heathrow after toilet leaks into cabin

A Delta Air Lines flight from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Seattle-Tacoma International was forced to make an emergency landing at London Heathrow on August 13 after a mechanical fault affected an onboard lavatory. About 40 minutes into the trip, the lavatory began leaking from the cubicle into the cabin of an Airbus A330-900, according to reports. It was not confirmed whether the liquid was hazardous waste or water from a faucet. The Boeing? (No—Airbus) aircraft carried 209 passengers and 13 crew. Flight 81 declared an emergency at Heathrow due to being overweight. After repairs, it later diverted to New York’s JFK because the crew’s working limits were reached.
