MIAMI, FLORIDA – On the Fourth of July, passengers at Miami International Airport were greeted not by the traditional red, white, and blue, but by a surprising sight of bright lime green cascading down from the ceiling of Concourse G. The unexpected spectacle was caused by a pipe leak, resulting in a fluorescent fluid spill around 9 a.m. E.T. on Thursday morning.
Swift action was taken by airport crews to address the situation promptly. Upon assessment, it was determined that the liquid was non-hazardous. The cleanup operation was efficiently completed within an hour and a half, ensuring minimal disruption to airport activities. The airport expressed appreciation to passengers in Concourse G for their cooperation and understanding during the incident.
Communications director Greg Chin of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department clarified in a statement that the mysterious green solution was, in fact, dyed water used in the AC system. The dye allows for easy traceability in case of leaks, aiding in swift identification and resolution of any issues that may arise.
Authorities affirmed that the situation was quickly contained and posed no threat to passengers or airport operations. The incident serves as a reminder of the meticulous maintenance and prompt response protocols in place to ensure passenger safety and minimal disruptions at Miami International Airport.
