Water leaked from the ceiling of an Emirates Airbus A380 mid-flight from Dubai to Istanbul on September 17.
Water’s dripping off a lit EXIT sign on an EK123 A380. That’s a strange place for it.

I’ve seen condensation come through the ceiling lining. I’ve seen bottles leak in the bins. I haven’t seen it show up right on the exit sign like this. pic.twitter.com/5a3QzaBD0z
Videos circulating on social media showed water dripping from the ceiling and soaking passengers, who were covering themselves with a cloth.
Passengers aboard flight EK123 alleged that cabin crew offered no explanation after water began pouring from the ceiling shortly after takeoff.
The cause of the leakage remains unclear.
