Stunning Video Shows Police Raiding Southwest Flight After Security Threat

A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale diverted to Atlanta on Friday night after a possible security concern. Footage from the incident shows passengers inside the plane seated with their heads down and hands up as Atlanta Police travel to the back of the plane. A man is then removed from his seat and placed into handcuffs. The pilot and flight attendants can be heard repeatedly saying “heads down, hands up” as passengers comply. ✈️ Shocking video: plane in the U.S. makes emergency landing over security threat on board Atlanta — A Southwest Airlines flight from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale was forced to divert and land in Atlanta late Friday night due to a reported security threat, authorities said.… pic.twitter.com/PJDCbRfQBi — NEXTA (@nexta_tv) March 7, 2026 Flight tracking software from FlightAware shows the plane landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at about 9 p.m. WSB-TV 2 reports the Federal Bureau of Investigation determined there was no credible threat. Southwest told 11Alive, “Southwest Airlines Flight 2094 landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Friday evening after diverting to respond to a possible security matter. We appreciate the professionalism of our Flight Crew and apologize to our Customers for the delay. Nothing is more important to Southwest than the Safety of its Customers and Employees.” The Daily Wire has reached out to the Atlanta Police Department and the FBI for comment. The incident comes as the United States is on high alert following the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. In the immediate aftermath of the strikes, Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegalese man wearing an Iranian flag shirt underneath a hoodie with the phrase “Property of Allah” emblazoned on it, opened fire in Austin, Texas, killing three and injuring 14. Authorities have not yet definitively linked the terror attack to the Iran strikes. Jake Braun, a former senior counselor to the Secretary of Homeland Security, recently spoke with ABC7, a Chicago affiliate, about the risk of homeland attacks, both cyber and physical, noting that multiple targets are potentially vulnerable. An Iranian ayatollah called on Thursday for President Trump’s blood to be shed during a message on Iranian state TV. “We are now on the verge of a great test and we must be careful to fully preserve this unity, to fully preserve this alliance,” said Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli in the message, going on to call for “the shedding of Zionist blood, the shedding of Trump’s blood.” Invoking the “Imam of the time,” Amoli said, “Fight the oppressive America, his blood is on my shoulders.” In a separate development on Thursday, another Iranian official threatened the United States following the sinking of an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka by a U.S. naval torpedo strike. “The U.S. has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran’s shores. Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning. Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret the precedent it has set,” said Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi. This is a developing story; check back for updates.

I’m One Of 11 Kids. Here’s Why The Internet Doesn’t Realize Big Families Are Great.

This article is part of Upstream, The Daily Wire’s new home for culture and lifestyle. Real human insight and human stories — from our featured writers to you. *** I’ve spent my entire life watching people’s eyes widen when they discover I have 10 siblings. “Any twins?” they always ask. “Nope.” “All from the same parents?” they wonder. “Yes!” I tell them. “It must be loud around there,” they laugh. It’s louder than you think. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. So you can imagine my amusement when I stumble upon very-online big family debaters clutching their pearls over influencer Hannah Neelman — better known as Ballerina Farm — and her nine children. Some argue that big families just aren’t for everyone. Others, like pro-abortion playwright Rebecca Reid, suggest parents of large families cannot give their children adequate “time, attention, and connection.” Very few people, if any, are telling young women that they must have big families. We do hear constant warnings about how unfathomably hard and expensive children are and how children limit your freedom, your fun, and your time with your spouse. On the flip side, we also hear constant chatter about how women can balance career and family if they truly want to. Are we not allowed to hear about the women, like my mother, who defied the world and raised a clan at home? As the oldest daughter and second-oldest child in a very large family, I can tell you firsthand that big families are not universally wealthy, and parents of such broods certainly aren’t calculating how much each child costs before they make the decision to have one more. These mothers and fathers look at life and family differently. When you ask them how many children they are going to have, they’ll probably tell you with a big smile, “As many as God sends us.” And if you question how on Earth they plan to pull this off, they will probably say something to the effect of what my own mother told me: “God gives you the grace, one child and one day at a time.” Families like mine don’t have a dozen children to “own the libs” or populate an aesthetic Instagram page. They’re open to life and to as many children as God blesses them with based on their deeply held religious convictions. They view each child as a gift from God, and they trust that He will provide for them. I’m well aware that this reasoning sounds crazy to secular outsiders. But at the end of the day, does it matter? God has, in fact, provided for us, and my siblings and parents are the greatest blessings of my life. The author and a smattering of siblings. I could never imagine life without my six brothers: Tommy, Patrick, Michael, Barry, Daniel, and Seamus. I certainly can’t picture a world without my sisters: Catherine, Theresa, Janey, and Brigid. While we may all look alike, thanks to some good Irish genes, each one of us was uniquely created and brings a diverse array of talents, interests, virtues, and vices to the table. It has been my parents’ role to sort through all of that and to raise us to be the men and women we were created to be. A large family necessitates a different kind of lifestyle than a smaller family might have, of course: My parents didn’t take our growing family on exotic vacations, and when I was a child, we had PB&J lunches and spaghetti dinners probably more often than my father and mother would have liked. There isn’t as much room in the budget for going out to eat after sports practice or daytime kid activities. The other big families I have known throughout the course of my life are largely the same. I have never wished for anything different. When I think about my childhood, I don’t really even remember the PB&Js, except maybe the 11 I made for an infamous road trip. (The siblings still accuse me of sitting on them. I maintain my innocence.) The author giving piggybacks. What I do remember is eagerly waiting by the phone with my grandmother and the other kids as my parents called from the hospital to tell us that our ninth child would be a boy (Daniel, who now towers over me at 6’3″ and texts me after my TV hits to say, “Well done, Marg”). Believe it or not, I cried that day because I wanted a girl. I got her when my mother had our 10th baby, Brigid, my goddaughter and close friend. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with all the siblings, a toddler on my lap as always, as we begged my dad for stories about his childhood in Massachusetts, or standing, at his request, on the brick hearth of our fireplace with my sisters to sing Irish ballads to company. I think of our cozy school days all working away in our makeshift classroom, my mom waking us up early to go to daily Mass, hours and hours of sister doll games, swinging the baby to sleep on the play set, and the fun we had teaching the little ones to walk, play games, and propose like Mr. Darcy (jury’s out on that one, but we tried). In functioning big families, kids necessarily help out with chores, with babies, and with each other. We each had our designated chores every day, and we did them with gusto. To this day, we help each other review resumes, emails, job applications, middle school papers, you name it. Eleven kids means 55 unique relationships between the siblings, and in big families, those relationships hold so many possibilities: the friend, the mentor, the confidante, the babysitter, the tutor, the partner in crime. As we grow older and start families of our own, those relationships necessarily evolve. The constant in our lives remains the same: We are the Olohan family, and we will always be there for one another. Of course, the life of a big family is not without its crosses. I grew up with a number of large families, including my own, who have dealt with hardship and tragedy. We know that nothing worth having is easily come by, and for my part, I know I’m very lucky to have been given the parents God gave me. As I’m sure my readers are well aware, every family is the product of the caliber of its parents, and mine are made of good stuff. Being open to the children God sends you is absolutely a leap of faith. It’s a leap of faith that my parents took and the parents of most big families take. It’s a surrendering of your will, time and time again, and it’s a beautiful sacrifice with a beautiful reward. As my grandmother, the mother of 10, would tell us, “Love multiplies; it never divides.” That is why failing to include God in the conversation about big families doesn’t make any sense. He’s woven into every step of the way. *** The views expressed in this piece are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.

‘Enough Is Enough’: Suspect Accused Of Hitting Cop With Car Walks Free On $3K Bond

A North Carolina woman is accused of hitting a police officer with her car — but she was released on a $3,000 bail just hours after her arrest. Tanaezah Michelle Austin, 25, is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon against a government official in connection with a street takeover early Sunday morning in northwest Charlotte, Fox News reported. Officers responded to reports of cars doing donuts in a commercial parking lot at 3:25 a.m. on March 1, according to the outlet. One officer approached a black Kia Optima that was trying to leave. The driver stopped at first, but “began to accelerate rapidly” and struck the officer, who rolled over the hood. The officer was in full uniform, giving verbal commands to stop and standing where the driver could clearly see him, Fox News said. He was taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries. Video of the incident posted to X shows the officer in front of the car before it accelerates toward him and drives away. The X post incorrectly identifies the driver as a man.

Tornadoes Kill Four, Injure More Than A Dozen In Michigan

Tornadoes and strong storms killed at least four people and injured more than a dozen in southern Michigan on Friday, destroying multiple homes and leaving hundreds of residents without power, local authorities said. Soon after the National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for the area on Friday, videos on social media claiming to be from the towns of Three Rivers and Union City showed massive whirlwinds tearing roofs off buildings and lifting debris into the air. Local media footage showed smashed buildings and cars, and poles, trees and road signs that had been blown over. Three fatalities and a dozen injuries were reported in Branch County, where Union City is located, the county’s sheriff’s office said. One person was killed and several injured in Cass County, according to local authorities there. Bill Pugliano/Getty Images “Multiple large structures – including homes and pole barns – sustained damage ranging from major structural impacts to complete destruction,” according to a statement on a website for Cass County. Power outages had affected hundreds of people, local officials said. “We have multiple utility poles down, transformers damaged, and long stretches of power lines on the ground. The north side of Union Lake sustained some of the most severe damage, with roughly two miles of line brought down in that area alone,” according to a posting on Union City’s official Facebook page that said restoration may take several days. Bill Pugliano/Getty Images Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she activated a State Emergency Operations Center for monitoring the situation. “The state is ready to fulfill any resource requests that may arise. We’ve yet to receive any just yet. It’s sounding like the local response is and has been able to address what’s been a very devastating afternoon and evening in southwest Michigan,” Clayton Cummins, a spokesperson for Michigan emergency services and police, told Reuters.

Trump Calls ‘Beat To Hell’ Iran’s Bluff — Warns Regime ‘LOSERS’ The Real Pain Begins Now

President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted Iran in a fiery Truth Social post as fighting in the region continues, claiming the regime has apologized to its neighbors and pledged to stop launching missiles at other Middle Eastern countries following sustained U.S. and Israeli military pressure. “Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore,” Trump wrote. “Iran is no longer the ‘Bully of the Middle East,’ they are, instead, ‘THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST.’” Trump argued the promise was only made because of what he described as relentless joint pressure from the United States and Israel. Over 40% of Iran’s drones and missiles have been launched at UAE over the past week. pic.twitter.com/b7dXMDrWWK — Lucas Tomlinson (@LucasFoxNews) March 7, 2026 The comments come as new data on Iran’s missile campaign reveals a broader regional targeting pattern than initially understood. According to updated tracking figures, more than 40 percent of Iranian missile launches during the current conflict have been directed at the United Arab Emirates, totaling more than 1,200 missiles, making it the most heavily targeted country in the region. By comparison, roughly 20 percent of Iran’s missiles have been fired toward Israel. The remaining launches have been spread across several neighboring Middle Eastern countries, highlighting the wider regional scope of the conflict. The distribution challenges early assumptions that Israel was the primary target of Iran’s missile campaign. Instead, the data suggest Tehran has directed a significant portion of its attacks toward Gulf states and other regional actors amid the widening war. President Masoud Pezeshkian, one member of the three-man leadership council overseeing the country after the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, released a video message apologizing to neighboring countries struck by Iranian missiles, according to the Associated Press. “I should apologize to the neighboring countries that were attacked by Iran, on my own behalf,” Pezeshkian said. “From now on, they should not attack neighboring countries or fire missiles at them, unless we are attacked by those countries. I think we should solve this through diplomacy.” Despite this, Trump’s post also warned that further military action against Iran could be imminent. In the same post, he wrote that Iran “will be hit very hard today,” suggesting the United States and its allies are considering expanding their list of targets inside the country. Trump added that “areas and groups of people” previously not under consideration are now being evaluated for strikes because of what he described as Iran’s “bad behavior,” though he did not specify which targets could be affected. The comments come as U.S. and Israeli forces continue operations against Iranian military infrastructure and regional proxy networks as the conflict enters its second week. Trump’s post also claimed officials around the Middle East had privately expressed gratitude toward him, writing that leaders had said “Thank you President Trump,” to which he responded, “You’re welcome.” The president further asserted that Iran’s regional ambitions had been decisively checked, saying the regime had sought to “take over and rule the Middle East,” but had now suffered a historic defeat. “It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern countries,” Trump wrote. The escalating rhetoric comes as tensions across the region remain high and military operations continue; the conflict could expand further depending on Iran’s next moves in response to the president’s comments and the coming strikes on Saturday.
