One flight leaving to Minneapolis left the gate at Mineta San Jose International Airport but soon returned after a reported problem with the plane’s bathroom. The lavatory onboard was leaking water.

While ground workers repaired the bathroom, they saw a flame shoot out from another plane’s engine tailpipe. The fire quickly went out, according to a Delta spokesperson.

Delta Airlines says the two problems were unrelated.

All 148 passengers and six crew members onboard the Minneapolis-bound flight were able to leave the plane.
