Extreme heat in the West causes soda cans to burst, injuring Southwest Airlines staff.

Sharing is Caring!

The extreme temperatures in the Western United States have caused significant issues for the airline, particularly in cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix, where temperatures have soared to record highs.

The intense heat has led to soda cans expanding and bursting due to the increased pressure inside the cans. This phenomenon occurs because the carbon dioxide in the soda becomes more active in high temperatures, causing the cans to warp and potentially explode.
