An American Airlines flight headed to Spain was forced to make an emergency stop in New York City Wednesday when the plane bathroom began overflowing, officials said.
The flight had only just departed from Dallas when the lavatory issue bubbled up, according to the FAA.

American Airlines confirmed that the “maintenance issue” involved the bathroom sinks and offered its passengers travel accommodations for the night as they awaited a new plane to continue the international journey.
