A spilled beverage caused a Miami-departing American Airlines flight to divert to Jacksonville Monday.
The 150 passengers aboard Chicago-bound Flight 1090 landed in Miami with firefighters on standby as the plane touched the ground.
Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said Wednesday the plane was diverted for maintenance after soda spilled on an electronic device in the main cabin.
Feinstein said the device was part of the in-flight entertainment system that included a power port for a bulkhead seat. The flight was allegedly diverted "out of an abundance of caution" and the plane was repaired in Jacksonville.
Feinstein attributed the spill to a passenger. However, passenger Preston Wake of Chicago claims a flight attendant accidentally drenched him with the beverage.
