New York City’s ABC affiliate reports:
Passengers at JFK Airport had a scary experience Sunday night as the nose of a plane lifted upward toward the sky. The plane had just landed from Bridgetown, Barbados. Citizen app video shows the front of the plane lifted up, while the tail stayed on the ground. JetBlue says the plane tipped backwards because of a shift in weight and balance as people were getting off their flight. Officials say the plane was taken out of service to be inspected.
Read the full article. In the TikTok video below, a passenger recounts the scene from inside the plane.
