According to social media account ‘Only in Dade’ a pipe burst at the Miami airport, in what appears to be the American Airlines D concourse, and that reports are that toilet system “black water” spilled out onto the concourse.
The D concourse in Miami does seem to be falling apart, with the airport’s train system out of service and passengers walking up to a mile between gates in a situation that’s been ongoing for months (the train has derailed in the past).
Already the Miami airport is one of the worst travel experiences in the United States not run by the Port Authority of New York New Jersey, so toilet sludge spilling out into the concourse is really just on brand.
Personally, I think it stinks.
The jokes write themselves with this one…..
Would any notice the smell?
Flushed with success
Wow. Isn’t Miami the epitome of the “new” America?
Worked at MIa for 22 years and I can san it is literally a sewer.
Here’s to hoping GTA VI gives us a realistic depiction of the airport, lot to parody there
I flew out of MIA for the first time last month, from poor landside signage to relatively dull vibes compared to all the other airports I’ve been to, it just doesn’t give off very good first impressions — the other times I was in the area I went the cost saving route and took the train up to FLL which I like
All that photo needs is someone fighting in the background or twerking.
Oh joy. Flying out of D Concourse in Miami tomorrow. Not only a long walk, due to DeSanis’s incompetence, it stinks too.
So if a priest pissed in that is it holy water now?
They can walk on water to their gate
Since elected in 2020 Mayor Levine Cava has neglected MÍA and it looks like a banana republic airport; however she was willing to spend $336MM over appraised value in 2 buildings that need extensive renovations.
Incompetence at its best at the expense of tax payees. Time for a change
The entire state of Florida should be avoided for a long list of reasons. Even Mother Nature is trying her best to wipe it off the face of the earth.
Hey don’t go insulting third world airports. A lotta sh*t happens at my third world airport, but not actual sh*t.
It was built that way long before DeS and Levine.
This is common, her at MIA almost every month black water pipes or anyother pipes breaks. MDAD is notoriously slow to fix anything. The airport is reporting billions in revenue yet nothing works. The sky train is out of service, half the elevators and escalators don’t work. Traffic is abysmal the MDAD officer are glorify crossing guards.
MIA is my home airport. It is an embarrassment. From the rude unhelpful employees to the filthy old bathrooms from the 70s to the train that has been broken for months, it’s just awful. I travel extensively and am exposed to a lot of airports. MIA fails in almost every comparison, even humble airports have nicer employees and cleaner bathrooms. Recently I entered a bathroom that had all the seats up as it was just “cleaned.” There were disgusting stains on the undersides of the seats and a roach in the toilet bowl. When I returned from a flight departing from Madrid, the contrast was especially jarring. MIA can’t compete with world-class airports.
To be fair, MIA was a dump long before Cava was elected. We’re a city that would rather spend billions on sports stadiums than invest in our airport and animal shelter, etc. Our animal shelter keeps animals in sweltering heat without a/c. Yes, a new woefully inadequate shelter was built. It is tiny and so they still use the old one without a/c. Priorities of a first-world city, not.
I wonder if anybody walked through it and then put their feet up on a seat near them in an airplane.
At the MIA airport, besides the smell, color, and taste, is there any way for passengers entering from a foreign country to distinguish between sewer water and drinking water?
Now now Gary, MIA is just promoting good health and fitness with making the chubbies walk miles between gates by having the skytrain out of service. Which is why you’ll rarely see WN there. For the sewer pipe busting, that’s just on par for the course there. It’s reminiscent of the sewer gas you get at DFW A14 or while watching folks enter/leave the restrooms while enjoying some loaded potato skins at C7 TGIF’s.
