Iranians pull bodies from fallen Mehrabad airport
Tehran and state authorities said rescuers retrieved the 17th body from the collapsed Mehrabad International Airport terminal as the search for survivors continued. An airport spokesman noted four or five bodies might still be buried, with a possibility some could be alive. An American was among the dead, another among nine injured, as 500 rescuers labored through night using light cranes and torches while heavier gear was avoided to prevent further collapse. The roof caved in during a heavy snowfall, with officials citing possible weakening from a garden conversion last summer.
