Some people questioned the crew’s response, speculating on training and protocols. “There is a water shut off valve under the sink. I’d say this crew didn’t pay attention in training. Or it could be in the galley ac dependant,”<\/i>\u00a0one viewer\u00a0analyzed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another\u00a0wondered<\/a>\u00a0about the passengers’ role in the chaos,\u00a0“Not a single man can get up and go into the bathroom and try to find the water shut off pinch a pipe release the valve do something whatever’s causing it?”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, someone else quickly\u00a0countered<\/a>\u00a0that thought with a dose of realism,\u00a0“Tbh even if a sensible dude stood up and tried to do something they’d probably just tell him to go back to his seat and let the airline handle it.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
