Southwest Airlines blames the boiling summer heat for exploding soda cans that have injured 20 flight attendants

• Exploding soda cans have injured 20 Southwest Airlines flight attendants this summer.
• A representative told BI that hot weather caused the explosions.
• High temperatures are scorching the globe this summer.

The sweltering summer heat has caused an unexpected problem for flight attendants: exploding soda cans.

At least 20 Southwest Airlines flight attendants sustained injuries this summer when trying to open the beverages, according to The Washington Post.

The outlet said the airline doesn't use refrigerated trucks because it doesn't provide guests with meals or perishable food, so the beverages are typically stored inside airports.
