The notion that only one person survived the Air India plane crash that killed 241 people on board is sparking interest on social media about how that could happen and if such a thing has happened before. A medic has said Vishwashkumar Ramesh was thrown out of the plane Thursday and walked to a nearby ambulance for aid. Dr. Dhaval Gameti, who treated Ramesh, told The Associated Press that Ramesh was disoriented with multiple injuries all over his body, but that he seemed to be out of danger.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. The ruling came only hours after a federal judge’s order was to take effect at noon Friday. Earlier Thursday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the Guard deployment was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority. The order applied only to the National Guard troops and not Marines who were also deployed to the LA protests.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel has attacked Iran’s capital in strikes that targeted the country’s nuclear program and raised the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries. It appeared to be the most significant attack Iran has faced since its 1980s war with Iraq. Multiple sites around the country were hit, including Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. The leader of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami and chief of staff of Iranian armed forces, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, were also confirmed dead, representing a significant blow to Tehran’s governing theocracy and an immediate escalation of its long-simmering conflict with Israel.

Protests are planned for some 1,800 communities across the country on Saturday, June 14th, the same day President Donald Trump holds a military parade in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army. It also just happens to fall on his 79th birthday. In conjunction with that parade, which is expected to draw more than 200,000 spectators and cost millions of dollars, organizers of “No Kings Day” rallies are planning their protests. More than fifty are planned across the state of Pennsylvania, including one here in Washington, Pittsburgh and Greensburg. The Washington rally will be held in front of the Washington County Courthouse from eleven a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Organizers say they named these protests, “No Kings Day,” to oppose what they see as Donald Trump’s power grab. Washington Mayor JoJo Burgess tells WJPA that he’s hoping the rally is peaceful, but, just in case, there will be extra security on hand and barriers will be put up. In addition to the rally, Burgess says a Juneteenth celebration is being held under the community pavilion on South Main Street at the same time.
