If you’re a nervous flier, it might be time to look away now.
A passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing after a man on board noticed a fuel leak from his window seat.
According to ABC News, ExpressJet Airlines Flight 2762, an American Eagle flight bound for Dallas-Fort Worth, landed in Huntsville after the crew reported the issue.
Filming the leak, the passenger alarmed a flight attendant who went straight to the captain to make him aware of the emergency.
After assessing the emergency, the captain decided the safest option was to land the plane.
