An Alaska Airlines flight that was on its way from Hawaii to Alaska turned around after a bathroom on the flight flooded the aisles of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet with water‚ according to Alaska News Source. The incident is the most recent in a slew of issues with Boeing flights over the last few months.The flight from Honolulu to Anchorage departed after 10:00 p.m. Friday night and was in the air for just 90 minutes when the front bathroom suddenly began to malfunction‚ ultimately leading to flooding in the aisle of the aircraft.Instead of continuing the six-hour flight to Alaska‚ the captain of Alaska Airlines flight 828 decided to turn back to Hawaii to have the problem resolved. Footage of the incident was posted to YouTube‚ where flight attendants can be seen trying to soak up as much water as possible with paper towels and blankets. Dustin Parker — a passenger on the flight — said that "there was probably two to four inches of standing water that swooshed out as soon as you opened that front door of the lavatory.""I would say an hour and a half into the flight is when we noticed the water and it was significant. The entire floorboards of that airplane were completely wet."The issue is believed to have originated from the bathroom sink‚ not the toilet‚ according to the Daily Mail. A flight map revealed that the flight was in the air for almost two-and-a-half hours before safely landing back in Hawaii at 12:30 a.m.Reports stated that the passengers were rebooked on other flights because there was no other plane at the airport to take them back to Anchorage.The airline said the following in a statement: "We apologize to our guests for the inconvenience this caused and commend the crew for their actions to ensure the well-being and comfort of our guests."Alaska Airlines made headlines at the beginning of the year after a door plug blew out on a Boeing 737 Max 9 — the same model of plane that the flooding occurred in. The Department of Justice opened an investigation into Boeing following the door issue.Boeing has been at the center of scandals over the past few years‚ including the mysterious death of John Barnett‚ who was in the process of giving testimony about quality checks for Boeing's aircraft earlier this year. While Barnett's death has been ruled a suicide‚ some are skeptical of this conclusion.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

While the cause of death has not been made public‚ the authorities were sure to confirm that Samay's death did not have anything to do with the active shooter alert and campus lockdown Friday night.College President John Bravman published a statement following the revelation of Samay's death‚ writing: “This is an unspeakable loss for the Bucknell community‚ and our hearts go out to Christian’s family and friends."“I wish to note that his death was unrelated to last night’s active shooter alert and campus lockdown and that the circumstances are not suspicious‚” he wrote. “I call upon all Bucknellians to support each other in this difficult time‚ and to keep Christian’s family in your prayers.”PennLive.com reported that Union County Coroner Dominick Adamo said the investigation into the nature of Samay's death is still ongoing and that an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.“Please know that the safety and security of our students are our utmost priorities‚” Bravman wrote to college community members.“I want to reassure you that we are taking every step possible to support our students during this difficult time. Counseling services are available for any student who may need support‚ and our staff and faculty are here to provide guidance and assistance as needed‚” he continued.Reports stated that an alert was issued around 1:47 p.m. on Saturday concerning an investigation at 78 University Avenue‚ which is the address of Samay's fraternity house. The school has not yet provided details about where Samay's body was found in the house or how officials believe he died.Amaya Becker‚ who is a student at the college‚ posted to Facebook: “Our student body is really shaken from the last 24 hours. Nothing is currently set in stone‚ but the students are currently organizing to have their own vigil on the campus quad in remembrance.”The active shooter alert on campus less than 24 hours before Samay's body was found was reported to be a hoax originating out of Virginia‚ according to Pennsylvania State Police‚ per USA Today.No details are available about how the authorities concluded the alert was a hoax or who may have been behind it.

The Oakland Police Department announced that it recently arrested three suspected "East Bay Pirates" who allegedly raided houseboats and yachts along Oakland's waterfront‚ KRON reported.On Thursday‚ authorities detained three individuals believed to be connected to a March 13 robbery that targeted a maritime business on the 1300 block of Embarcadero‚ a San Francisco waterfront. The break-in prompted a joint investigation between the Oakland Police Department Marine Unit and the Criminal Investigation Division Burglary Unit.Police officers used security footage provided by the business to identify the suspects‚ who they recognized as individuals residing on boats in the Oakland Estuary‚ KPIX-TV reported. Law enforcement officials recovered items stolen from the business on two ships associated with the detained individuals. Authorities will present the case to Alameda District Attorney Pamela Price's office for charging. George Soros-backed Price is currently facing a recall effort over her soft-on-crime policies‚ which critics argue have led to a significant uptick in crime in Oakland.Residents living in houseboats and yachts along the waterfront have reported an increase in theft and physical confrontations with the "East Bay Pirates‚" according to Fox News Digital. The thieves use small stolen or abandoned boats to reach and break into larger ships docked in the area.During an October San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission's enforcement meeting‚ former harbormaster Brock de Lappe stated‚ "The open shoreline of the (Oakland-Alameda) estuary is littered with sunken wrecks and derelict‚ end-of-life vessels‚ and crime has risen to truly intolerable levels.""Multiple vessels have been stolen and ransacked. Victims have had to resort to personally confronting the criminals to recover their property without the benefit of police support. Is this an appropriate activity for a 79-year-old senior?" de Lappe questioned.Alameda Police Chief Nishant Joshi told Fox News Digital‚ "In the waterways‚ it's very difficult to draw a line.""There are no roadways or fence lines‚ so we all have a shared interest‚ much like crime as a whole‚ to deal with this as a regional approach‚" Joshi noted.A Coast Guard spokesperson called the waterfront burglaries "a federal and state problem‚" Fox News Digital reported. "We're all working to protect the best interests of everyone in the estuary‚" the representative told the news outlet.Oakland police are still investigating the thefts. Residents across Oakland have sounded the alarm about the area's out-of-control crime problem. Several San Francisco Bay Area businesses‚ including Denny's‚ In-N-Out‚ Black Bear Diner‚ Subway‚ and Starbucks‚ announced that they would close amid the crime wave. Last month‚ Taco Bell stated that several of its Oakland locations will close their dining rooms following several recent robberies.Like Blaze News?
