The week in 31 photos

It was a terrifying scene Monday when a passenger plane crashed, turned upside down and caught fire while attempting to land at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

But all 80 people on the plane survived. Twenty-one of them were taken to hospitals with injuries, officials said, and by Thursday morning all had been released, according to Delta Air Lines.

The crash happened on a gusty day following heavy snowfall. On Tuesday afternoon, a senior investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it was “far too early to say what the cause of this accident might be.”

The harrowing incident briefly halted traffic at Canada’s busiest airport, and it was the fourth major aviation accident in North America in the past month. It happened three weeks after an American Airlines plane collided midair with a US Army helicopter in Washington, DC, killing all 67 people aboard.

Here are some of the stories that made headlines over the past week, as well as some photos that caught our eye.

Members of the Red Cross receive the bodies of four Israeli hostages in Khan Younis, Gaza, on Thursday, February 20. Hamas put on a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/middleeast/hamas-israel-hostages-release-bibas-intl-hnk/index.html">macabre handover ceremony</a> to return the bodies. It was the first time the militant group has released the remains of dead hostages since its attack on Israel in October 2023, and it marked a somber turn for a country more used to elation when former captives returned home alive.
