A lot can go wrong inside a flight. You can sit beside an elderly woman who has gas, or in front of a cranky baby who likes to cry more than he likes to sleep. Flight attendants also warn us of prospective accidents that might occur.
What we are never prepared for is a visit from the rain gods inside the cabin! I say this because passengers on board a Russian flight, Rossiya Airlines travelling between Khabarovsk and Sochi, experienced water droplets falling on them inside the cabin. Hence, they pulled out their umbrellas and held them up to prevent themselves from getting wet!

I passeggeri sono stati costretti ad usare ombrelli per ripararsi da goccioloni d'acqua, parrebbe per un guasto all'aria condizionata

People on the internet are astonished by the incident. While many doubted why the airlines allowed umbrellas inside the flight in the first place when it’s prohibited, others called the jugaad “Russian efficiency”!
According to Times Now, what the passengers experienced wasn’t rain per se. The air conditioning system of the flight suffered a malfunction. There was a water leak inside the centralised air conditioning system. However, it isn’t a serious defect.
Such leakages occur due to condensation that forms water droplets when warm air inside a closed space (like a cabin) comes in contact with the cold skin of a surface.
Now that we know ‘rain’ inside a cabin is a probability, we can add this to the list of ‘All That Can Go Wrong Inside A Flight’!
