01.02.2025 โข Two Planes Fall as Hostages Walk Free
โจThe morning saw Hamas release three Israeli hostages as part of a prisoner exchange, while Palestinian detainees returned to the West Bank through the reopened Rafah crossing. This development occurred against the backdrop of two aviation disasters.
A medical transport plane carrying a child patient crashed in Philadelphia 30 seconds after takeoff, initially reported with six casualties. By afternoon, the death toll reached seven, including a person in a car. This second aviation disaster followed the Washington DC collision, where the Army finally identified the Black Hawk pilot as Captain Rebecca Lobach.
Trump's administration announced new tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China, citing fentanyl concerns. The policy shift emerged while investigators recovered black boxes from both aircraft in the DC crash, promising a 30-day timeline for preliminary findings.
