A mysterious liquid leaking on a cargo jet sent emergency crews rushing to an island airport in Alaska, but it turns out a barman with a towel could have handled the problem.
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.
