The Delta building at JFK had an interesting temporary solution for a leaky roof. Check out the photo above. It’s Delta’s main check in and security area. At first I thought it was decorative until my husband started mumbling something about a major airport in a major city looking like a third world country.

Those waterproof sheets are catching the leaks where the water is directed towards the middle. The tubes allow the water to flow into one area on the ground where there is probably some kind of drain. I didn’t see it as it was behind the desk.

Although it’s an ingenious temporary plan, it’s not wise to let a roof go for too long. Delta could have a major disaster on their hands if the ceiling collapses due to water damage. Let’s not even think about the mold problem this is causing.

WTF, Delta?
