QUIRKY WORLD ... Lime juice leak forces bittersweet jet drama

LIME LEAK

The leak on the Alaska Airlines plane was traced to a container of lime juice that broke open during a flight from Seattle.

Alaska Airlines said workers first detected the sour-smelling liquid coming from a cargo container. Airport staff took a cautious approach and called for emergency responders from the Ketchikan fire department to take a ferry to the airport on Gravina Island, where they diagnosed the source.
