Overview

  • A hard landing on a Ryanair flight earlier this week caused two bottles of alcohol in an overhead bin to break and drench at least two passengers.
  • TikTok user @amber.waite.jones posted the June 21 clip showing the spilled liquor and it has since attracted over 2.2 million views.
  • Numerous commenters blamed the passenger for stowing liquids in the overhead locker instead of under the seat as instructed during boarding.
  • The original poster noted that fellow travelers and flight attendants laughed at the mishap, describing the incident as funny despite the mess.
  • Newsweek has contacted Ryanair for comment, and UNWTO data show a 5 percent year-on-year rise in international tourist arrivals.
