In a frightening incident at John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), a JetBlue plane tipped backwards while passengers were disembarking from a flight originating from Barbados. The incident, which was captured on video by a citizen using the WABC-TV Citizen App, showed the front of the aircraft lifting off the ground while the tail remained on the tarmac.
Passengers onboard Flight 662, which had recently landed from Bridgetown, Barbados, were met with a hair-raising ordeal as the nose of the airplane unexpectedly rose towards the sky. The aircraft was parked at Terminal 17 at the time of the incident.
The video footage depicts the unsettling sight of the plane’s front end gradually lifting into the air, while the tail section remained firmly grounded. It is unclear what caused this unsettling phenomenon, and investigations into the incident are expected to shed light on this matter.
Although the incident caused alarm among passengers, fortunately, there were no reports of injuries during the incident. JetBlue Airlines has taken immediate steps to address the situation and ensure the safety of passengers and crew members. The airline will be closely cooperating with aviation authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
This occurrence serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of air travel and the importance of strict safety protocols. Passengers and aviation authorities alike are thankful that the incident did not result in any injuries and are keen to discover the cause behind this unusual incident.
