Passengers on a JetBlue flight were shocked when the plane popped a wheelie Sunday night after arriving at JFK Airport.
Shocking images shared online show the Airbus A321ceo tipped back – its nose reaching skyward and the tail planted on the ground.
Passengers were getting off flight 662 from Bridgetown, Barbados, when the bizarre incident took place.
“Once at the gate, due to a shift in weight and balance during deplaning, the tail of the aircraft tipped backward causing the nose of the aircraft to lift up and eventually return back down,” JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski told The Post.
“No injuries were reported. Safety is JetBlue’s first priority; we are reviewing this incident, and the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection,” he added in an email.
