Summer in the United States is seriously hot and it’s violently blowing up soft drink cans.
A bizarre threat caused airline officials, employees, and American travellers to be on alert last week after a series of incidents involving soft drink cans injured a number of flight attendants on Southwest Airlines’ flights.
Southwest officials have confirmed with numerous news sources, including the Washington Post, the Independent, and CBS News, that cans of carbonated drinks have been exploding in-flight, and have injured at least 20 flight attendants since the northern summer started.
In an emailed statement sent to the Independent, an airline spokesperson said, “We’re aware of this issue and have been taking steps to keep onboard beverages cooler, especially in our airports experiencing extreme temperatures”.
