What's up, sunshine? Terrific Tuesday to
you. I'm Ky Wire. This is CNN 10. We're
going to shake things up a bit. Today,
we have some announcements. First off,
this week marks the start of a very
special time of year. March is Women's
History Month. It has its roots in
International Women's Day on March 8th.
This year's theme is leading the change.
Women shaping a sustainable future. All
month we'll be highlighting some of the
achievements of visionaries both past
and present. Also to all my bookworms
out there, this week is Read Across
America Week, the annual celebration
coinciding with Dr. Seuss's birthday,
highlighting the joy and importance of
reading. This year's theme is
celebrating a nation of diverse readers,
highlighting books that represent
diverse cultures and those that promote
inclusivity. We'd love to hear about a
great book that you might be reading
right now or one of your all-time
favorites. Message us at CNN10@cn.com
or on Instagram, CNN10. And we're going
to share some of your responses
throughout the week. An update now on
the United States and Israel's war with
Iran. As the war continues to expand
throughout the region, many governments
are scrambling to evacuate their
citizens. But airspace closures over one
of the world's busiest travel regions
are spurring one of the worst global
travel disruptions since the CO 19
pandemic. Our Linda Concaid has more on
what some travelers are facing.
>> Cancelled, delayed, diverted. Words few
travelers want to hear, but it's a
reality for many airline passengers
around the globe after several major
travel hubs closed or heavily restricted
their airspace because of missile and
drone strikes across the Middle East.
That conflict resulting in travel chaos,
long lines, and long waits, upending
many trips.
>> Unfortunately, our whole trip from our
school canceled it, so we're no longer
going to Dubai.
>> Commercial flights in and out of Dubai
have been suspended. Airports in Abu
Dhabi, Doha, and other regional hubs
were also either shut down or subject to
severe restrictions. All of popular
transit points for longhaul travel. And
without these key connections, the flow
of aircraft and flight crews has been
disrupted. Many passengers left
stranded.
>> We don't have any information. No one's
telling us anything. We cannot get into
contact with anyone. We're trying to go
home. That's the only thing that we
want. In one popular tourist
destination, authorities in Bali,
Indonesia, say more than 1600 tourists
were stranded at the airport Sunday
after flights to the Middle East were
cancelled or postponed. It's a headache
all round. The new routes will likely be
longer for passengers and the fuel costs
higher for airlines. At the Frankfurt
airport in Germany, one passenger bound
for Australia says she's trying to
rebook after her flight was cancelled,
but it hasn't been easy. the telephone.
>> The phone hotline is completely
overloaded. We can't reach anyone.
Actually, it's not going so well at the
moment.
>> The disruptions are also a serious
concern for people who work in the
Middle East but live in different
countries, like these migrant workers in
Bangladesh, who say they're afraid
they'll lose their jobs if they don't
return soon. Airlines are scrambling to
reroute flights with some headed over
Saudi Arabia, but it's unclear how long
the disruptions could last. Right now,
officials are urging people to check
their flights and pack a lot of
patience.
Now, the war with Iran is having
widespread repercussions from the
economy, even on sports. The Qatar
Soccer Federation postponed all
tournaments and matches until further
notice. Israel, the United Arab
Emirates, and Qatar closed their
airspace on Saturday as the strikes on
Iran affected flights across the Middle
East. Today marks 100 days until the
FIFA World Cup this summer. And the
president of Iran Soccer Federation says
he doesn't know if the national team
will play World Cup matches. Medi Taj
told Sports Portal Vars 3, "What is
certain is that after this attack, we
cannot be expected to look forward to
the World Cup with hope. FIFA says it
will be monitoring the situation. Iran
is scheduled to play in Los Angeles,
opening with New Zealand on June 15th.
10sec trivia. When was the first
electric vacuum invented? 1791, 1835,
1867, or 1901?
Answer is 1901. British engineer Hubert
Cecil Booth patented a large horsedrawn
machine that used a motor-p powered pump
to create suction pulling dust through
long hoses into a filter system outside
of the building. Have you heard about
the man who hacked 7,000 vacuum
cleaners? A software developer
experimenting with his own robotic
vacuum discovered a flaw that allowed
access to thousands of others, including
their cameras and microphones, shedding
light on potential security risks with
smartome devices. Let's look at how it
happened and what we should know.
>> So, in theory, you could have used
someone else's vacuum and navigated it
around their home to see whatever you
wanted to see.
>> Are launching deep cleaning at 420 for
everyone. Yes. Software developer Sammy
Ezu was building an app to hack his DJI
Romo smart vacuum. He wanted to use his
PlayStation controller to make it move.
But in the process, he accidentally
uncovered a major security flaw. With
the help of an AI chatbot, Sammy
discovered he could also access what he
says were roughly 7,000 other vacuums,
allowing him to get their approximate
locations and even remotely control
other people's vacuums. He could also
see through other users live camera
feeds and hear through their vacuums
microphones, features typically in place
to help the vacuums navigate around a
home and respond to voice commands.
>> When it happened, my wife start to hide
the camera from the robot because she
was scared. I don't know. I freak out or
scared.
Sorry, this make me laugh or nothing,
but why they going to put a microphone
in a vacuum? Like, I don't know. I don't
get it.
Sammy immediately reported the flaw to
DJI. After some back and forth, the
company fixed it. DJI did not respond to
a request for comment from CNN. But
Sammy says there's an important takeaway
here for consumers thinking about buying
any smart home device.
>> Let other users be being a beta testers
before you. So the company will fix the
issue before you buy it.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
case of being in the right place at the
right time with an incredible outcome. A
police officer who took a different
route to work and an offduty firefighter
who happened to have his gear in his car
arriving at a fiery car wreck at the
same time. Both are former Marines
jumped into action saving a mother of
three. Our Ryan Young has the story. On
the morning of February 18th, 2025, then
officer Brian Larrison had just started
his shift when he decided to mix things
up in his daily routine.
>> My normal route is to go down um south
from my house, but for some reason that
day, I something just told me take the
60.
>> It wasn't long before he happened upon a
fiery wreck on US 60 near Mesa.
>> As I approached the truck, I noticed
there was a young lady inside. You could
see her hands were flailing around on
the inside. Moments earlier, the vehicle
had been rearended by a cement truck,
flipping it over and trapping mother of
three Amy Ruiz inside. She had just
dropped off her kids.
>> So, I ran back to my motorcycle and I
grabbed my PR24 baton, which is a
sidehandle baton.
>> Here, get out of the way. Get out of the
way.
>> After a handful of strikes, Officer
Larrison was finally able to break open
the window. Get out. Get out.
But just as Amy was about to escape, the
vehicle pulled back on its wheels,
throwing her back inside.
>> At that point, I started running back up
to the truck to reach in or or try to
get her out. And then that's when I
looked to my right, and I saw a fireman
in his flame RETARDANT GEAR.
>> GET HER OUT OF THERE.
>> Get her out.
>> Get her out, dude.
>> Off duty at the time, firefighter and
paramedic Asa Pigia was unusually
prepared for the situation.
>> I don't normally bring my fire gear home
with me. Uh that day I had worked a
overtime shift, so I happened to have my
fire gear uh in my vehicle. I couldn't
see her, but when I reached in, I felt
her legs and I was able to grab her legs
and pull her and help her out of that
vehicle.
>> We got you. We got you. Anybody else in
there?
>> Hey, help me over here.
>> She cried out for help and she was very
uh confused or hypoxic. Um, so she had
probably been low on oxygen from the the
smoke inhalation and so she wasn't very
cognizant of of where she was or what's
going on.
>> I'm glad you're here, brother.
>> The two former Marines modestly say they
were simply doing their jobs. That's
what they signed up for to serve and
protect.
>> I can't thank you guys enough for my
life. There's no words to describe.
There's no word big enough. All
right, Super Estreas, we were talking
about the World Cup earlier, and this
upcoming World Cup will be the first
ever hosted across three countries, the
US, Canada, and Mexico. So, I am sending
a shout out to my friends in Mexico
City, Mr. Stanway and crew. Thank you
for this epic World Cup jersey. Are you
kidding me? Esquea Las Altus, rise up.
Also, we have a shout out going to Mr.
Russell at MS29 the Melrose School in
the Bronx, New York. Thank you for
