Passengers sent plane crash images moments before take-off

A Turkish AnadoluJet flight has been delayed at Israel’s main airport after multiple passengers were sent plane crash images to their phones

The plane was taxiing when the photos were airdropped to some passengers, who immediately alerted the crew.

The captain was notified and made the decision to return to the terminal at Ben Gurion Airport.

The 160 passengers and crew on board the Boeing 737 were evacuated, while airport staff reinspected baggage.

A few young Israelis have been identified as suspects and are being interrogated.

Meanwhile, passengers were allowed to reboard the plane headed to Istanbul with the plane taking off five hours after it was again approved to do so.

The pictures that were sent through Apple’s file sharing service included images of a Turkish Airlines plane that crashed in the Netherlands over a decade ago, and another plane that crashed in the U.S. in 2013.

This comes only weeks after another false alarm at the same airport where a live artillery shell was found at check-in.

In a closed-door vote, Senator Thune takes on a pivotal leadership role as Senate Republicans look to the future.

In a significant shift within Senate Republican leadership, Senator John Thune of South Dakota has been elected as the new Senate GOP leader, taking over from long-time leader Senator Mitch McConnell.

The decision came after a secret ballot vote among GOP members, marking the end of McConnell’s influential tenure.

Thune, who has served as Senate Minority Whip, is widely recognized for his strategic acumen and steady approach to party leadership.

His appointment signals both continuity and potential change as Senate Republicans prepare to navigate a challenging legislative environment and upcoming elections.

With McConnell stepping back, questions arise about how Thune’s leadership will shape GOP strategies on key issues, from fiscal policy to judicial appointments.

Analysts note that his leadership style is expected to maintain unity while possibly adopting fresh tactics to strengthen the party’s legislative influence.

As Thune steps into this prominent role, Republicans and observers alike will watch how his leadership influences the Senate’s dynamics and the broader political landscape.

The transition reflects a pivotal moment for the GOP as it positions itself for future electoral and legislative battles.
