The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said that the Cyclonic Storm ‘Hamoon’ has now intensified into a severe cyclonic storm over the Northwest Bay of Bengal.

As per the information from IMD, the Cyclonic Storm ‘Hamoon’ over Northwest and adjoining Westcentral Bay of Bengal moved northeastwards with a speed of 18 km per hour during the past 6 hours.

The cyclonic storm after moving for six hours, intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and lay centred, at 2:30 am on October 24, over the northwest Bay of Bengal, near latitude 19.3°N and longitude 88.4°E, about 210 km east-southeast of Paradip (Odisha), 270 km south-southeast of Digha (West Bengal) and 350 km south-southwest of Khepupara (Bangladesh).

The cyclonic storm is very likely to move nearly north-northeast wards and cross the Bangladesh coast between Khepupara and Chittagong around noon on October 25 as a Deep Depression.

Earlier, on Monday, the Municipal Administration in Odisha had put all Urban Local Bodies (ULB) on alert in view of the formation of cyclonic storm ‘Hamoon’ in the Bay of Bengal.

Director Municipal Administration Sangramjit Nayak, in an official statement, issued a directive to all ULB Chiefs, sensitising them about the impending danger due to the formation of cyclonic storm ‘Hamoon’ in the Bay of Bengal, which will culminate in huge rainfall, wind, and inclement weather.

Shocking images and videos have captured the moment a JetBlue plane tipped back onto its tail Sunday night at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City. Notably, the incident occurred when JetBlue Flight 662 had just landed from Barbados around 8:30 p.m. local time and passengers were in the process of disembarking, New York Post reported. 

Visuals going viral on social media showed the front wheels of the plane, which had just arrived from Barbados, rising into the air.  While the front of the plane lifted up, the tail stayed on the ground.

”It felt like the plane was about to do a backflip. Everybody kind of screamed and was grabbing for seats. Anybody who was standing was grabbing for seats,” passenger Sinead Bovell told CBS News. According to Bovell, the plane and jet bridge were damaged. 

”On Sunday, October 22, JetBlue flight 662 landed as scheduled at New York’s JFK Airport from Bridgetown, Barbados. Once at the gate, due to a shift in weight and balance during deplaning, the tail of the aircraft tipped backward causing the nose of the aircraft to lift up and eventually return back down,”  JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski told PEOPLE in a statement

”No injuries were reported. Safety is JetBlue’s first priority; we are reviewing this incident, and the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection,” the statement continued. 

Ed Libassi, the CEO of A&P Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. explained what he thinks might have caused the plane to tilt.

”Now the situation that JetBlue had yesterday, I’ve seen it in my 51-year career — too much baggage was left in the air cargo compartment. Maybe all of the people had gotten off already, or maybe everything up front was taken off quickly — everything from baggage to fuel in the wings while they flew from Barbados,” Mr Libassi said.
