American Airlines pilot warns of potential disasters from improper use of airplane toilets.

A pilot from American Airlines, Captain Steve, has warned passengers to strictly follow airplane toilet signs that instruct flushing only toilet paper.

If this flap doesn't close due to foreign objects, the blue sanitizing water inside can leak and freeze, potentially causing catastrophic outcomes.
