"Anchorage-Bound Flight Grounded by Onboard Flooding"

An Alaska Airlines flight from Honolulu to Anchorage was forced to turn around after an issue with an onboard bathroom sink caused water to flood the aisle of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet. Passengers captured video of flight attendants attempting to soak up the water with paper towels. The flight safely returned to Honolulu, and passengers were rebooked on other flights. This incident comes amid ongoing issues with Boeing's 737 Max 9 jets, including a recent criminal investigation and the departure of the company's CEO.
