VIDEO: Green liquid pours from ceilings at Miami airport — here’s what it was

Pipe bursts in MIA concourse

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Video posted by Only in Dade shows a mysterious, fluorescent green liquid pouring from the ceilings at Miami International Airport on the July 4 holiday, causing a big mess.

Perplexed passengers looked on — some shooting videos of their own — as the substance, with a color resembling Nickelodeon slime, pooled onto the floor.

“That’s literally insane,” one passenger said.

But airport officials said the liquid wasn’t slime or nuclear waste. Instead, it was just water.

Spokesperson Greg Chin told Local 10 News that it comes from the air conditioning system and is dyed green so any leak, like the one that occurred Thursday morning caused by a broken pipe, can be traced back to its source.

“The spill has been completely cleaned up,” he said. “We would like to thank our passengers in Concourse G for their patience and understanding.”

Officials said the leak had no impact on flights or operations.
