ATLANTA — Travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday were surprised by water suddenly breaking through the ceiling and pouring onto the floor below. An airline passenger captured video of the messy scene. The incident did not impact airport operations, but a security checkpoint was temporarily closed.
