A JetBlue Plane Tipped Backwards At JFK Due To A 'Shift In Weight And Balance' In The Back Of The Plane

Sometimes you see a headline and assume it's too good to be true. I'm at this point with this one even after seeing the video. Is it even possible to tip a 150 ton plane with an improper balance of the fats in the back? The science isn't sciencing here for me. But truly an all-time bad beat here for the bigger fellas like Big Cat said. You just gotta get off the plane at that point and book another one for later and hope you don't strike out twice. Counterpoint: They have to move you to the front of the plane so you get a free first class upgrade? Is that how that works? 

What's the solution to this when it happens too? Does every one of the high calorie fellas in the back have to go through the aisle one by one until the plane tips back to normal? Truly a walk of shame. I weigh like 180 and have been basically 110 soaking wet my entire life but new plane fear unlocked. If the Internet is real we'll have a video of the inside of this plane when they had to break the news to everyone. Just another day in the nightmare that is American air travel.
