Travellers at the busiest airport in the US were met with more than delays after foul-smelling brown water burst from the terminal’s ceiling, sending people scrambling for cover.
Passengers waiting to board their flights on Monday afternoon filmed as the water gushed from above, catching many by surprise.
The unpleasant incident prompted a wave of nose pinching as people realised the brown liquid appeared to be sewage.
