JetBlue plane rolls off runway after landing at Boston Logan Airport
The Massachusetts Port Authority stated that there were no reported injuries, and it is not yet known what caused the plane to veer off.
Security footage from the airport showed passengers exiting the Airbus A220 by the stairs after the aircraft came to a stop in a grassy area.
The Independent has emailed JetBlue for comment. In a statement to The New York Times, the airline said: 'Safety is JetBlue's top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause.'
Airport officials stopped flights from coming in and out of Boston Logan around noon following the rollover. The ground halt was lifted after 1 p.m.
The aircraft departed Chicago O'Hare airport around 8.41 a.m with FlightAware data showing the plane landed in Boston around 11.49 a.m.
The incident happened on the same day that 241 people were confirmed dead after an Air India plane crashed in Ahmedabad, a city on the western side of India. The aircraft was headed to London Gatwick Airport and was carrying 242 passengers and crew and there was one sole survivor.
At least 41 people are being treated for injuries.

Eerie video shows toddler playing near doomed plane days before family dies in Idaho nosedive
A young couple and a toddler were killed when their plane plummeted into an Idaho home this week — just days after they captured a video of the young boy playing next to the doomed aircraft. Pilot Brandon LeRoy, his wife Jestene and their 2-year-old Paxton were in the air for just one minute when their small plane nosedived into the unoccupied house in Nampa, according to the city's police. The trio suffered 'multiple blunt force injuries.' Brandon and Jestene were pronounced dead at the scene, while Paxton succumbed to his wounds at a nearby hospital.

The Mooney M20 plane apparently belonged to Brandon LeRoy, 43, who was painted as an avid flyer by his wife on her popular TikTok account. Advertisement Three days before the tragedy, Jestene LeRoy, 30, posted a video of the toddler riding a tricycle around the doomed blue and white plane. 'Imagine growing up riding your bike around your dad's plane before your dad flies you and your mom wherever you want,' she wrote over the video. In the week before the crash, the plane had bounced between McMinnville, Oregon; Fresno, California; and Nampa, Idaho, FlightAware data shows.

The plane was in the air for just one minute before it nosedived. kivitv The family's loved ones called the loss 'immeasurable,' saying, 'to say we miss them doesn't come close.' Advertisement 'Together, they were building a life marked by love, purpose, and promise,' Jeremiah LeRoy, Brandon's cousin, told KTVB in a statement. 'Though their time here was far too short, their legacy is everlasting — a legacy of love, courage, joy, and selfless service. A sacred reminder to live each day with purpose, with gratitude, and with unwavering faith.'

Woman who died in Indiana plane crash was trying to fly solo around the world
Anh-Thu Nguyen, 44, wanted to be the first Vietnamese woman to complete a solo flight around the world. Her journey ended prematurely after her airplane crashed in Greenwood, Indiana, on July 30. The Johnson County coroner has identified Nguyen, a flight instructor and a Purdue University graduate, as the pilot killed in the small-plane crash. Nguyen was on the second leg of her journey. She left the Indy South Greenwood Airport at 10:45 a.m. and was en route to an airport in Pennsylvania, according to flight records from Flightaware. A few minutes after taking off from the Greenwood airport, Nguyen's 2005 Lancair IV-P was seen spiraling out of the air. The plane ultimately landed on a hill behind a Circle K gas station. Frank Williams, a witness to the crash, said the airplane was quiet as it fell from the sky. "There was no explosion, and there was no fire. I pulled right up, and I could smell fuel. As I got close to the plane, I could tell there wasn't a survivor," Williams said. It's unclear what led to the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating. Who was Anh-Thu Nguyen? Nguyen, a 2015 Purdue graduate, wanted to inspire other Asian women to get in the cockpit. She started Asian Women in Aerospace and Aviation Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 2018 and became the chief flight instructor at Dragon Flight Training Academy in Georgia. Nguyen was born in Vietnam, moving to the United States when she was 12 years old. She received a bachelor' of science's in math and a master's in aeronautics and astronautics engineering from Purdue University. She received a doctoral degree in aeronautics and astronautics engineering from Georgia Institue of Technology. "As an Asian woman, I faced many obstacles and challenges to get to where I am today, especially adapting to a new culture, language, and life in the United States. I wanted to give back and inspire the next generation," she told Purdue University. Nguyen originally conceived the idea of becoming the first Vietnamese woman to complete a solo flight around the world in 2019, but due to a number of issues, her plans were pushed back. On July 27, 2025, Nguyen officially started the journey when she flew out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, toward Indiana. On July 30, before Nguyen left the Greenwood airport, she posted an update about her journey on social media. "I just completed the first leg of my solo flight around the world," she said. "This is more than just a flight. It's a mission to inspire the next generation of Asian female pilots and aerospace engineers and STEM professionals." Her death has come as a shock to many who were following the start of her journey on Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The comment sections of her videos were filled with "rest in peace" messages.
