A crane has appeared at the site of a collapsed highway bridge in Baltimore as crews prepare to begin clearing wreckage. The debris has stymied the search for four missing workers and blocked ships from entering or leaving the city’s vital port. A crane that can lift 1,000 tons had been expected to arrive late Thursday. A second that can lift 400 tons should arrive Saturday. They will be used to clear the channel of the twisted metal and concrete remnants of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the cargo ship that hit it.
Cranes arriving to start removing wreckage from deadly Baltimore bridge collapse
Social media users shared a range of false claims this week, many of them related to the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge after it was struck by a container ship. Here are the facts: A video said to show a large explosion on the bridge before the structure fell dates to 2022 and has been identified as showing an explosion that caused the partial collapse of the Kerch Bridge, linking Crimea with Russia. The captain of the ship is Indian, not Ukrainian. Angela Chao, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law, who died in a February accident, did not head the company that owns the ship.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will return to the table for cease-fire talks with Hamas. Friday’s announcement marks yet another attempt to reach a deal with the militant group that would pause Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages. Several rounds of negotiations have faltered. Netanyahu says he has spoken with Israel’s lead negotiators and authorized Israeli delegations to join talks in Qatar and Egypt over the coming days. With the war now grinding through a sixth month, the United States, Qatar and Egypt have spent months trying to negotiate another cease-fire and hostage release. But those efforts appear to have stalled.
Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries “Roots,” has died. He was 87. Gossett always thought of his early career as a reverse Cinderella story, with success finding him from an early age and propelling him forward, toward his Academy Award for “An Officer and a Gentleman.” He also was a star on Broadway, replacing Billy Daniels in “Golden Boy” with Sammy Davis Jr. in 1964 and recently played an obstinate patriarch in the 2023 remake of “The Color Purple.”
France says it has asked 46 countries if they can supply more than 2,000 police officers to help secure the Paris Olympics. Organizers are finalizing security planning for the July 26-Aug. 11 Games, the French capital’s first in a century, while on heightened alert against potential attacks. The Interior Ministry said Friday that the request for foreign security assistance was made in January, seeking 2,185 reinforcements. It said the officers are sought for Games security and what it called “the spectator experience” and that such assistance is common practice for major international events. Separately, the French Defense Ministry has also asked foreign nations for “small numbers” of military personnel who could help with tasks including sniffer dog teams.
A Texas appeals court has overturned a woman's voter fraud conviction and five-year sentence for casting an illegal provisional ballot. The court ruled that Crystal Mason of Fort Worth did not know that being on probation after serving in prison still made her ineligible in 2016. The appeals court found that even if she had read an affidavit on the ballot confirming that she had “fully served” any felony sentence, that alone doesn't prove she knew she was ineligible. Mason is overjoyed. The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas released her statement saying she was thrown into a political ploy where minority voting rights are under attack.
