Israel conducted air strikes in Iran
Early Saturday, residents across Tehran reported hearing multiple loud explosions, though the cause remains unclear.
The city has been on alert for possible retaliatory strikes from Israel, and the explosions reportedly originated from Tehran’s western side, where the Revolutionary Guards have a major headquarters, according to multiple local sources, including several Iranian journalists.
Fars News, a site closely linked to the Revolutionary Guards, confirmed that several large blasts had shaken the city, while other media reported that explosions were heard near or around Imam Khomeini International Airport.
Witnesses describe a surge of residents taking to the streets in response to the sudden noise, with nearby buildings shaken by the blasts. Syrian state media also reported similar sounds in Damascus, adding that the origin of the explosions there is “under investigation.”
Among those affected was Maryam Naraghi, a journalist based in the eastern Pardis neighborhood of Tehran, who recounted hearing the powerful sounds close to her location. “It was the unmistakable sound of bombs and explosions,” Naraghi explained.
The eastern part of Tehran houses various military sites, including Parchin, a highly secretive facility linked to Iran’s defense capabilities.
With heightened regional tensions, these blasts have fueled growing concerns across the city and beyond, as residents remain on edge.
Toronto, Canada – A newly surfaced video provides a clear and chilling view of the moment Delta Flight 4819 crash-landed and overturned at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025.
The footage, filmed from the flight deck of an aircraft awaiting takeoff, captures the terrifying incident in real time.
The video shows the Delta Airlines CRJ900 regional jet, operated by Endeavor Air, approaching the runway for landing after arriving from Minneapolis (MSP).
Initially, the aircraft appears to be executing a routine landing. However, upon touching down, it suddenly overturns, flipping onto its roof and coming to a rest inverted on the snow-covered tarmac.
Moments later, flight attendants and emergency crews swiftly initiated evacuation procedures, assisting the 80 passengers and crew members on board.
18 people sustained injuries, with three individuals— including a child— listed in critical condition.The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has launched an in-depth investigation into the crash, citing severe weather conditions at the time, which included strong winds and blowing snow, as a possible contributing factor.
Officials are analyzing the newly released video, which provides critical insights into the sequence of events, helping investigators determine the exact cause of the accident.
Following the incident, Toronto Pearson International Airport temporarily suspended all arrivals and departures as emergency crews responded.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed a ground stop was issued in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
Authorities continue to assess the circumstances surrounding the accident, and further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
