On Thursday morning, a strange green liquid was reported dripping in one of the waiting areas at Miami International Airport. A video shared on the Instagram account Only in Dade shows a mysterious fluorescent green liquid causing alarm among travelers at the facility during the Fourth of July holiday.
Passengers who recorded the incident and posted it on social media likened the spilled liquid to Nickelodeon slime. However, airport officials clarified that the substance running through the hallways was merely water.
In the comments section of the video, Miami Airport stated that "teams were immediately dispatched to investigate, and cleanup efforts are underway, expected to be completed shortly." They also thanked passengers in Concourse G for their patience and understanding.
Local 10 News provided further details after interviewing spokesperson Greg Chin, who explained that the water "originated from the air conditioning system and is dyed green so any leaks, such as the one caused by a broken pipe on Thursday morning, can be traced back to their source."
During the last holiday weekend in May, Miami International Airport set a record for the highest number of travelers screened in a single day, with over 2.9 million people passing through its checkpoints due to Memorial Day commemorations.
