The JetBlue Airbus A321-200 (registered N959JB) was parked at New York JFK airport, United States and had just arrived from Bridgetown, Barbados operating flight B6662 when the aircraft tipped on its tail.
The root cause of the incident still has to be determined, but a combination of unloading forward cargo and too many passengers still located in the back of the aircraft might result in a tail tipping.
The possible damage to the aircraft also needs to be assessed.
