744 delayed due to broken water heater?
On arrival to my departure gate yesterday I was told that our flight delayed for 3 hours due to "galley heating problems". When we finally got underway the FO announced that the water heater element for the water tank that feeds the aft galley and toilet had to be replaced as the feeder tank was outside the pressurised cabin and the water in said tank would freeze once we got hight enough!
Is that really true or has it been dumbed down for passenger understanding?
Usually they tell you nothing but the "engineering issue" story so I would like to know why so much detail all of a sudden.
Cheers
