A JetBlue plane tipped backwards, with its nose in the air and its front wheel off the ground, after landing at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

JetBlue said in a statement that the plane tilted back "due to a shift in weight and balance" while passengers were getting off, the Associated Press reported.
