JetBlue Plane Tips Back On Its Tail!!! Scary Weight Shift at Gate
In the immortal words of Fat Joe ... a JetBlue airplane leaned back -- way back -- while parked at JFK Airport, tipping onto its freakin' tail as passengers were exiting!
The wild scene played out Sunday night at the NYC airport -- the Airbus A321-231 popped a wheelie, unintentionally, after landing from Barbados ... delivering a major shock to passengers and crew.
The plane's tail tipped backward "due to a shift in weight and balance during deplaning," according to JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski ... who told NY Post the aircraft eventually came back down to its normal level.
He added there were no injuries in the rare incident ... and the company's currently investigating what happened and has taken the plane out of rotation for inspection.
For those unaware, pilots often calculate the weight and balance before every flight to determine the plane's center of gravity -- looking at things like the total weight of passengers and luggage, so it's unclear what was in the back of the plane that made it flip.
Word of warning for those who applaud when landing -- it ain't over 'till you're off the damn thing!

AVIÓN JETBLUE ¡SE INCLINA SOBRE SU COLA! Aterrador cambio de peso en la puerta de embarque
Un avión de JetBlue se inclinó hacia atrás (muy hacia atrás), mientras estaba estacionado en el aeropuerto JFK, la cola llegó a tocar el suelo mientras los pasajeros salían.
Esto ocurrió el domingo por la noche en el aeropuerto de Nueva York, el Airbus A321-231 tuvo problemas justo al momento de aterrizar de Barbados, generando el pánico entre la tripulación.
La cola del avión se inclinó hacia atrás "debido a un cambio en el peso y el equilibrio durante el desembarque", según el portavoz de JetBlue Derek Dombrowski, quien le informó al NY Post cuando el avión finalmente volvió a la normalidad.
Añadió que no hubo heridos en el incidente y la compañía está investigando actualmente lo que pasó y ha sacado de servicio para que sea inspeccionado.
Para aquellos que no saben, los pilotos suelen calcular el peso y el equilibrio antes de cada vuelo para determinar el centro de gravedad del avión, chekeando el peso total de los pasajeros y el equipaje, por lo que no está claro lo que estaba en la parte trasera del avión que lo hizo volcar.
Una advertencia para los que aplauden al aterrizar: ¡no se acaba hasta que te bajas del maldito aparato!
Rod Wave Crashes Through Stage, Back First ... Come See Me Fall!!!
Rod Wave is dedicated to his art -- so much so, in fact, that he recreated a perilous leap from a window live onstage for all his fans ... although, it's quite clear they didn't want this.
The rapper was performing in Lincoln, Nebraska Thursday ... and at one point in his sold-out show, he decided to play stuntman right then and there in front of everyone -- climbing on top of a set piece and reenacting something he did in one of his music videos.
From Rod Wave doing this to the ppl in the background yelling, I’m in fucking tears 😭🤣 pic.twitter.com/p8iARZip6J

Watch ... the dude scales the side of a fake building, going up the fire escape and eventually standing on the rail -- with his back turned to the audience. Guess what happens next!
RW goes crashing toward the ground below ... dropping like a sack of potatoes and eventually tearing through the stage floor itself. Indeed, it's pretty damn dramatic. It stunned the audience -- and even from the crowd, you can hear folks telling him not to do it.
The videos cut out before we can see what happens next -- but, presumably, he's alright ... on account of the fact that he was performing in Minnesota last night and is posting pics on his IG page. All's well that ends well, we suppose -- but damn, this was dangerous.
BTW, this whole fall-from-the-window thing is straight out of his music video for "Come See Me" ... which is the song that was playing when he did this. So, a little life imitating art.
Committing to the bit, indeed.

Houston Astros Vs. Texas Rangers Bench Clearing Beanball Incident ... During Championship Game
The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers nearly got into a bench-clearing brawl after a beanball incident during the 8th inning of their Friday night championship game.
The teams were going head-to-head in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series when Houston relief pitcher Bryan Abreu wound up and hurled a 98.9 mile-per-hour fastball, striking Rangers batter Adolis Garcia in his left arm.

Check out this video posted on X ... Garcia looks furious as he pushes Houston catcher Martín Maldonado, while the umpire gets between them.
Both teams then pour onto the field and run toward each other, gathering in one big heap near home plate.
The players start yelling and shoving one another, but the tense situation never escalates into a full-scale fight.
Still, Garcia continues to blow off steam as his teammates hold him back -- and eventually escort him off Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.
The umpires ejected three people: Abreu, Garcia and Astros manager Dusty Baker.
When the game resumed, the Astros went on to beat the Rangers 5-4. The Astros now hold a 3-2 lead in the series as they travel back to Houston for Game 6.
Behave yourselves guys!!

Kim Kardashian has been in court this week -- not as a lawyer or litigant, but as a prospective juror in a gang murder case ... TMZ has learned.
Kim was at the Van Nuys Courthouse all week, as part of a jury panel in a case where 2 men have been charged with murdering another man in a gang-related crime. We're told she was there 4 days in total, from Monday to Thursday.
Our producer was in the courtroom during voir dire -- where prospective jurors were questioned by the prosecutor and defense lawyers.
Kim made herself part of the group ... eating snacks in the courthouse hallway during the breaks with other prospective jurors. She dressed fancier than the others Thursday, wearing leather pants, high boots and a sleeveless white blouse.
Late Thursday, the lawyers agreed on 12 jurors and 4 alternates ... before Kim was ever questioned, so she was dismissed and left the courthouse ... having concluded her jury service.
In true Kardashian form, there were cameras from her Hulu show in the parking lot as she jumped in her SUV and left the courthouse.
Our producer says, at least on Thursday, the other prospective jurors were not particularly starstruck ... they treated her like one of them.
During the court session, Kim's bodyguard was seated right next to her in the front row of the peanut gallery.
As you know, Kim's gunning to become a lawyer. She's passed the California "baby bar" and is studying to take the actual bar exam for real.
She's been very active over the past few years working on prison reform and has even helped secure the release of some prison inmates.

Kim Kardashian ha estado en los tribunales esta semana. No como abogado ni como litigante, sino como una posible miembro del jurado en un caso de asesinato entre pandillas, según ha indagado TMZ.
Kim estuvo en el Tribunal de Van Nuys toda la semana, como parte del panel del jurado. El caso que se revisaba era el de dos hombres acusados de matar a otro en un crimen relacionado con pandillas. Nos dicen que estuvo allí cuatro días en total, de lunes a jueves.
Nuestro productor estuvo en la sala durante el voir dire (interrogatorio preliminar de un testigo o de un miembro del jurado), en donde todos los posibles miembros del jurado fueron interrogados por el fiscal y los abogados defensores.
Kim se integró al grupo, comiendo bocadillos en el pasillo del tribunal durante las pausas con otros posibles miembros del jurado. Eso sí, estaba más elegante que los demás el jueves, con pantalones de cuero, botas altas y una blusa blanca sin mangas.
A última hora del jueves, los abogados llegaron a un acuerdo sobre 12 miembros del jurado y 4 suplentes, todo esto, antes de que Kim fuera interrogada, por lo que finalmente fue desechada y abandonó el juzgado, así como su servicio como jurado.
Al más puro estilo Kardashian, había cámaras de su programa de Hulu en el estacionamiento, atentos a ella subiendo en su SUV y saliendo de la corte.
Nuestro productor dice que, al menos el jueves, los otros posibles miembros del jurado no estaban particularmente sorprendidos. La trataron como a una más.
Durante la sesión de la corte, el guardaespaldas de Kim estuvo sentado junto a ella en la primera fila de la galería.
Como saben, Kim quiere ser abogada. Ella ya ha pasado el "baby bar" de California y está estudiando para tomar el examen real.
También ha estado muy activa en los últimos años trabajando en la reforma penitenciaria e incluso ha ayudado a conseguir la liberación de algunos presos.

The Chargers fan who blew up on social media for displaying a roller coaster of emotions during "Monday Night Football" is putting all speculation to rest ... adamantly denying she was a paid actress or AI bot -- she's just that crazy about her team!!
Merrianne Do achieved overnight fame for her animated expressions while supporting Justin Herbert and the Chargers during their 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium ... and many were quick to accuse her of being planted by the team or league for manufactured clout.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
TMZ Sports spoke with the internet's newest celebrity ... and she says the truth is, she's your average fanatic who's super passionate about her squad.
"I wish I was being paid," Do tells us. "If [the skeptics] only knew this is how I am every day. My kids are like, 'Mommy this is how you are at my flag football game, why do they think you're getting paid?' I'm like. 'I know, but they don't know me.'"

As it turns out, it's true -- Do and her husband are truly diehard Charger fans -- the two have season tickets in the second row ... and if they aren't sittin' there, they're posted up in the cabana suites.
"We are diehard fans," she says. "It's always been like this. People that know me know that I've been this crazy football fan all my life."
The internet sleuths have been quick to try and poke holes in Do's explanation ... even posting pics of her in Minnesota Vikings gear -- but she has a reason for that, too.
Someone explain this. pic.twitter.com/7T4Aef3dcc

"I grew up in Minnesota before moving to California almost 20 years ago," Do says. "I don't think you have to be a single-team fan. I love my Chargers and I'm not gonna deny my Vikings. At the end of the day, yes, I've been a Vikings fan, I've been through that journey as a Vikings fan and still am, but I'm here in LA for the past 20 years."
Long story short, Do didn't get a cent for her viral moment ... but knowing how internet fame works, that could all change.
"To anybody that thinks this is paid, I am not paid, I'm still eating my ramen noodles."

It didn't all seem to be Dallas vs. L.A., either ... as some Chargers supporters appeared to go at it with each other during the fracas as well.
Security ultimately got involved and looked like they mercifully restored order ... though no word if any arrests were made.
Of course, it was hardly the first tilt of the night ... as Cowboys pass rusher Dante Fowler got into it with Chargers star Austin Ekeler before the game, nearly causing an all-out melee on the field.

Home Invasion Horror Gunman Accosts Woman Entering Her House ... Caught On Camera
A masked gunman was caught on security footage attempting a home invasion in Washington state, rushing up behind a fast-reacting woman, who managed to shut her front door and lock it just before he could gain entry.
Check out the Ring camera video ... it starts with the woman's male companion walking onto a porch and unlocking and opening the door before disappearing into the house in Kent, WA.
Moments later, the woman steps up onto the porch and is about to enter her abode when she suddenly feels someone behind her and spins around.
The ski-masked suspect dashes up to her with a gun in one hand. But the woman is too quick, running inside, slamming the door closed and bolting it.
The would-be intruder desperately tries to force open the door, but his efforts are futile. He then turns and sees the camera recording him, smashing it with the butt of his gun and cutting off the clip.
We've reached out to Kent PD to see if they've caught the perpetrator ... so far no word back.

Échale un vistazo al video. Comienza con el compañero de la mujer caminando hacia la casa y abriendo la puerta principal para posteriormente entrar.
Justo detrás venía la mujer que, cuando está a punto de entrar en su morada, siente a alguien detrás de ella y se da la vuelta.
El sospechoso, enmascarado, se precipita hacia ella con pistola en mano, pero la mujer es demasiado rápida para él y corre hacia el interior cerrando la puerta al instante.
El intruso intenta desesperadamente forzar la puerta para abrirla, pero sus esfuerzos son inútiles. Entonces se gira y ve la cámara que lo está grabando y la rompe con la culata de su pistola, cortando el video.
Nos hemos puesto en contacto con la policía de Kent para ver si han capturado al autor pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.
PELEA AUSTRALIANA HOMBRE LUCHA CONTRA un CANGURO ¡Salva a su perro de ahogarse!
Un hombre australiano tuvo que enfrentarse a un canguro musculoso que tenía secuestrado a su perro y lo grabó todo con una cámara.
El residente de Mildura, Mick Moloney, le dio un golpe al animal, y este devolvió el golpe sin rodeos. La cámara del hombre cayó al agua, pero su perro se salvó.
Mick len dijo a ABC Radio Melbourne que estaba estirando cerca del río durante el fin de semana cuando se dio cuenta de que su cachorro, Hatchi, no estaba por ninguna parte.
Sin embargo, rápidamente se encontró con el motivo... primero se dio cuenta de que el canguro le miraba fijamente desde el río y después su perro salió del agua, chillando, mientras le salía agua a borbotones de la boca.
Mick afirma que el canguro le estaba haciendo una llave a Hatchi para ahogarlo y sabía que tenía que ir a salvar a su peludo amigo. Admitió que el canguro era muy intimidante y agregó: "Yo estaba como "esta cosa acaba de salir de la cárcel" o algo así".
Dice que era bastante fuerte - pero le dio una bofetada al marsupial en la cabeza y se metió en una pelea en el agua. Mick admite que parecía que también iba a darle una patada... pero le echó agua en la cara mientras corría hacia la orilla, donde su perro estaba a salvo.
A propósito, Mick es instructor de artes marciales mixtas y jiu-jitsu brasileño, pero afirma que la gente ya le está preguntando cuándo empezará a enseñar "Cangurojitsu".
Aussie Brawl Man Fights Kangaroo ... Saves His Dog From Being Drowned!
A man in Australia was forced to put up his dukes against a buff kangaroo that was holding his dog hostage ... catching the whole thing on camera.
The down-under beatdown took place between the 'roo and Mildura resident Mick Moloney ... who took a swing at the animal, and got knocked in return -- his camera took a tumble into the water, but his dog was safe from the scary situation.
Mick told ABC Radio Melbourne Afternoons he was stretching near the river over the weekend when he noticed his pup, Hatchi, was nowhere to be found.
He soon found his answer, though -- first noticing the kangaroo staring at him in the river, then his dog came up from the water, yelping as water gushed out of its mouth.
Mick claims Hatchi was in a headlock and knew he had to go save his doggo ... but admitted the kangaroo looked "jacked," adding, "I was like 'this thing's just got out of jail' or something."
He says it was pretty strong -- but he slapped the marsupial across the head and got into a tussle in the water. Mick admits it looked like it was gonna kick him, too ... but he splashed some water in its face while he bolted to the shore where his dog was safe.
BTW, Mick is a mixed martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor ... but claims people are already asking him when he'll start teaching "roo-jitsu."

Bigfoot Sightings Scientists Should Be On the Case ... Not Cops, So Say Cops
-
Exclusive
- 275 shares
The multiple alleged bigfoot sightings should have scientists and anthropologists digging for answers ... so say Colorado cops, after the now-viral vid shot in one of their National Forests.
San Juan County Undersheriff Steve Lowrance tells TMZ ... scientists and anthropologists should have all eyes on what was recently seen in Colorado, so they can determine once and for all if the creature is legit, or just some dude in a fursuit.
For the record, Lowrance doesn't really buy into the bigfoot legend -- adding he's lived in the area for 35 years, and has never seen the thing with his own eyes.
Regardless, he says law enforcement shouldn't be using its resources on unraveling the hairy mystery ... mainly because the elusive sasquatch isn't on any police watchlist due to its clean record and all.
We're told San Juan County has had about 3 bigfoot sightings over the years, but no crime has been committed -- no missing person reports connected to the alleged beast, and no one eaten alive by it ... that they know of, at least.
The undersheriff knows there might be folks out there who would dress up as bigfoot to commit crimes, but he's not too concerned about that scenario, either.
As we reported, video shows what believers claim is the creature walking through the San Juan National Forest -- the clip was captured by a passenger on a train, who saw the alleged sasquatch try to blend in with the environment.
The U.S. Forest Service told us it can't say if the new footage is real or fake ... but it sounds like scientists will have to enter the chat to put the furry topic to bed!

AVISTAMIENTOS DE BIGFOOT "LOS CIENTÍFICOS DEBERÍAN OCUPARSE DEL CASO" dice la policía
Los múltiples avistamientos de Bigfoot deberían ser investigados por científicos y antropólogos, eso dicen los policías de Colorado, después del video viral grabado en uno de sus bosques nacionales.
El sheriff Steve Lowrance le dijo a TMZ que los científicos y antropólogos deben tener los ojos puestos sobre lo que se ha visto recientemente en Colorado para que puedan determinar de una vez por todas si la criatura es real o simplemente es un tipo en un traje.
Para que conste, Lowrance no cree en la leyenda de Bigfoot, añadiendo que ha vivido en la zona durante 35 años y nunca ha visto nada.
A pesar de todo, dice que las fuerzas del orden no deberían utilizar sus recursos en desentrañar el misterio peludo, sobre todo porque el escurridizo sasquatch no está en ninguna lista de vigilancia policial debido a su impecable historial.
Se nos dice que el condado de San Juan ha tenido alrededor de 3 avistamientos de Bigfoot en los últimos años, pero no se ha cometido ningún delito y no hay informes de personas desaparecidas relacionadas con la supuesta bestia.
El subcomisario sabe que podría haber gente por ahí disfrazada de Pie Grande para cometer crímenes, pero no está demasiado preocupado por ese escenario tampoco.
Como informamos, el vídeo muestra lo que los creyentes afirman que es la criatura caminando por el Bosque Nacional de San Juan. El video fue capturado por un pasajero de un tren que vio al presunto sasquatch tratando de mezclarse con el medio ambiente.
El Servicio Forestal de EE.UU. nos dijo que no puede decir si las nuevas imágenes son reales o falsas, pero parece que los científicos tendrán que entrar en la conversación para darle claridad al asunto.
