Breaking : The large part of the collapsed Key Bridge was detonated today at 5pm. Officials used controlled explosives to remove parts of the Francis Scott Key Bridge sitting atop of the Dali cargo ship Monday. As the explosives went off, a big boom could be heard through

If you watched the video of the Key Bridge, you saw one vehicle make it over mere seconds before the collapse. Through an incredible feat of detective work and reporting, @BaltimoreBanner own @JessMGallagher found the driver who saw the end of an era through his rear view mirror.

Covering insane breaking news in the community I grew up in, that my loved ones grew up in, is a different type of exhaustion. The men in my family were all ironworkers, my dad was Local 16. The type of work that ppl do on those bridges and roadways is not for the faint of heart.

Whenever something makes national news here in Baltimore, I brace myself for all of the out of town journalists. Ethics matters. Using the death of someone who stood up for this city as a way to further stereotype it is unethical. You are doing HARM.

Agree and I also agree that it should be easily accessible to all. However, the journalists who work in news 24/7 deserve to make a solid and liveable wage. They deserve to be sustainable. Working in news isn’t a hobby or part time thing. Money is needed to do that.

@blueblrdhoneyy The fact that people don’t know what an intimacy coordinator is is wild to me. The description of what it is is in the name itself : intimacy coordinator - they coordinate intimate scenes. 😩

It’s not anyone’s business BUT I feel like saying this might help others. I’m woman in her early 30’s who recently got an official ADHD diagnosis. It’s more than just not being able to focus on things. Learning about it has greatly improved my life - both work and personal.

Here is what is left of the FSK Bridge, a little over twelve hours after the collapse, taken from a boat about a half mile away. Helicopters and a US Coast Guard boat are circling the scene.

Watching these kids was so precious. The bigger ones were helping the little ones and making sure they didn’t crash too hard. They were helping pull each other up the hill and fixing each other’s sled contraptions. Baltimore you’ll be alright 🫶🏼

Many of the smaller kids sledding here at Patterson Park today have never experienced snow like this that they can remember. When asked how she felt about it, seven-year-old Sloane Morris said, “It’s awesome!”

Today marks five years since my dad passed away. Today also marks five years of thinking about it every single day. Grief isn’t linear. Grief is peaks and valleys. Grief is just love with no place to go.

Write what readers want? It’s NEWS - they often don’t know about it until journalists write it. 🫠

The encampment at JHU is impressively well organized. They have a media table and other point people. In my experience, they’ve been pretty kind and positive to journalists.

I’m really sick and tired of all the porn bots on this platform, especially when they spam things I’m serious about or my reporting work. People aren’t interested in that and if they are they aren’t following me. It would be cool if @elonmusk used his noggin to get rid of them.
