Due to a change in weight and balance during unloading, the tail of the aircraft tilted back causing its nose to lift
One JetBlue passenger plane lost its balance upon disembarkation Sunday at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to the airline.
“Once it arrived at the gate, due to weight and balance changes during unloading, the tail of the aircraft tilted back causing the nose to lift to return to its original position,” JetBlue told CNN.

As the company announced, no one was injured in the incident.
Video footage shows the aircraft’s nose in the air and the front landing gear dangling while the plane is parked.
JetBlue is “looking into this incident” and the plane will be inspected before flying again, the airline said.
The Aviation Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the airport, said the incident did not disrupt any other operations at JFK.
