Water pours from ceiling of British Airways plane, video shows
The airline said it was clean drinking water
In a video shared exclusively with Sky News, water can be seen falling from the ceiling of a British Airways plane.
The flight, BA292, was reportedly on its way from London's Heathrow Airport to Washington, D.C., over the weekend.
British Airways told FOX Business on Wednesday that the water was from the clean drinking water supply and that there was no safety issue at any point during the 12-hour-long trip, including during landing.
"While there was no safety issue at any point, the area was quickly isolated and the flight continued as planned," the airline said.

"This was not a flight for nervous fliers. An inflight waterfall is not a regular feature at BA. It looked more British Waterways than British Airways," an airline employee reportedly told The Sun, adding that the "crew gave thanks the leak happened towards the end of the trans-Atlantic crossing."
