7:32 PT -- El gobernador de Maryland Wes Moore dice que la tripulación del carguero pudo emitir una llamada de "mayday" antes de colisionar contra el puente, lo que le permitió a las autoridades limitar el tráfico en el puente.

7:18 AM PT -- Las autoridades dicen que 8 personas estaban en el puente en el momento del colapso y que hasta ahora dos de ellas han sido encontradas. Una de ellas está en el hospital y la otra se encuentra estable. La búsqueda de los otros seis continúa.

El barco pierde energía

El gobernador de Maryland también dice que la tripulación a bordo del barco notificó a las autoridades que habían perdido potencia, lo que ha llevado a los investigadores a creer que se trató de un accidente. Ha estado circulando un video donde se ve cómo la nave pierde potencia al menos dos veces antes de entrar en contacto con el puente, lo que parece corroborar esta descripción.

6:18 AM PT -- Las operaciones de buceo han comenzado en Baltimore mientras los equipos de rescate empiezan a buscar a quienquiera se encuentre en el agua. Los socorristas se han congregado cerca de la orilla del río al salir el sol.

Aún hay un montón de piezas en movimiento, obviamente, pero ahora van a tratar de encontrar y salvar a cualquiera que esté en el agua.

El puente Francis Scott Key de Baltimore se derrumbó el martes después de ser golpeado por un gran buque de carga, causando un posible accidente de proporciones con varias víctimas, y todo fue grabado en video.

Echa un vistazo a estas impresionantes imágenes del buque que se estrelló contra el puente de acero, que tenía una forma de arco y que de repente se derrumbó en el río Patapsco, rompiéndose en pedazos ante los ojos de las personas.

El alcalde de Baltimore Brandon Scott lo calificó como una "tragedia impensable" y sacada de una película de acción.

Los funcionarios de Maryland acaban de ofrecer una conferencia de prensa, donde compartieron con el público lo que saben hasta ahora.

A partir de la 1:30 AM, el Departamento de Bomberos de Baltimore comenzó a recibir cientos de llamadas del 911, reportando lo que fue descrito como una "emergencia extrema".

Varios vehículos que estaban cruzando el puente en ese momento se precipitaron hacia el río durante el colapso, pero no está claro cuántos.

El carguero ardió en llamas tras chocar contra el puente. En la rueda de prensa, los funcionarios parecieron sugerir que estaban en comunicación con la tripulación del buque, cuyo estado actual es desconocido.

Buzos y equipos de búsqueda han respondido a la emergencia, escaneando las aguas heladas con sonares para encontrar a más de 7 personas y posiblemente más. Dos personas han sido rescatadas, una con heridas graves.

La temperatura del agua es de 48 grados y las autoridades dicen que es prácticamente imposible sobrevivir durante más de 3 horas.

Aaron Donald I'm Retiring

Published | Updated

Shocking news in the NFL world ... Aaron Donald -- arguably the best defensive player of his generation -- is retiring.

The Los Angeles superstar just announced his decision on social media ... revealing that after 10 seasons with the Rams, he's hanging up his cleats.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In his announcement post, the 32-year-old thanked L.A.'s org. and its fans ... before explaining he's now hoping that without football in his life, he'll be able to spend plenty more time with his wife and kids.

"Throughout my career," Donald said, "I have given my everything to football both mentally and physically -- 365 days a year was dedicated to becoming the best possible player I could be."

"I respected this game like no other and I'm blessed to be able to conclude my NFL career with the same franchise that drafted me."

Donald was picked by the Rams in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and he immediately became one of the team's best players. In his first year, he started 12 games and won Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.

He went on to make the Pro Bowl in every season he played in ... and was named an All-Pro eight total times. He also won Defensive Player of the Year honors three times.

Most didn't expect him to retire this offseason -- as he was still playing at an extremely high level. However, rumors of him possibly turning in his helmet have swirled since 2022, when it was revealed that he had previously only envisioned playing eight seasons.

The only question that remains surrounding his career is not if he'll get a gold jacket in five years -- but whether or not he'll be remembered as the greatest defensive tackle ever.

Congrats, A.D.

Tiroteo en Kansas City 3 hombres acusados de delitos federales con armas de fuego

Published

Tres hombres se enfrentan a cargos federales relacionados con el porte de armas con relación al tiroteo de Kansas City ocurrido justo en medio de la celebración de los Chiefs por el Super Bowl. Esto, después de que el fiscal de Estados Unidos en Missouri dijera que la investigación reveló una operación ilegal de armas.

Los acusados, Fedo Manning, de 22 años, Ronnel Williams Jr., de 21 años, y Chaelyn Groves, de 19 años, no están acusados de abrir fuego en el desfile, pero los fiscales creen que formaban parte de alguna actividad relacionada con el "tráfico ilegal de armas de fuego".

Durante su investigación, la policía recuperó múltiples armas de fuego en la escena, al menos dos de los cuales fueron capaces de rastrear a la supuesta red ilegal de armas.

021524_kc_shooting_crowd_kal 2/14/24
Caos total

Una de las armas, una pistola Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 calibre .223, fue supuestamente comprada por Manning en una armería en 2022. Fedo Manning está acusado de traficar ilegalmente con decenas de armas.

La segunda arma, correspondiente a una pistola Stag Arms calibre 300, fue supuestamente comprada por Williams para Groves en una feria de armas en 2023, ya que este último era demasiado joven en ese momento.

En total, Manning se enfrenta a 12 cargos federales, mientras que Williams Jr. y Groves fueron golpeados con 4 cargos.

Ninguno de los hombres está siendo acusado de disparar a nadie, aunque los funcionarios no están descartando la posibilidad de que las armas ilegales hayan sido disparadas.

De hecho, según documentos judiciales, 12 personas blandieron armas de fuego y al menos 6 dispararon sus armas durante el desfile.

"Detener a los compradores y prevenir el tráfico ilegal de armas de fuego es nuestra primera línea de defensa contra la violencia armada", dijo la fiscal federal Teresa Moore.

"Al menos dos de las armas de fuego recuperadas de la escena del tiroteo masivo en Union Station fueron compradas o traficadas ilegalmente. Trabajamos diligentemente con nuestros socios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley para mantener las armas de fuego fuera del alcance de los delincuentes, investigando y persiguiendo a quienes compran y venden ilegalmente armas peligrosas".

Para su información, straw gun es un término utilizado para referirse a alguien que compra un arma para otro individuo.

Aparte de los cargos federales relacionados con la presunta red de armas, varios individuos han sido acusados en relación con el tiroteo que arrebató la vida de una mujer y dejó a más de 20 personas, en su mayoría niños, heridos.

Published | Updated

Three men are facing federal gun charges in connection with the Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting after the U.S. Attorney in Missouri says the investigation turned up an illegal gun operation.

The defendants, 22-year-old Fedo Manning, 21-year-old Ronnel Williams Jr., and 19-year-old Chaelyn Groves are not accused of opening fire at the parade ... but instead, prosecutors believe they were part of "illegal firearms trafficking and straw purchases of firearms."

During their investigation into the shooting, police recovered multiple firearms at the scene ... at least two of which they were able to trace back to the alleged illegal gun ring.

UTTER CHAOS

One of the weapons, an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 .223-caliber pistol, was allegedly bought by Manning from a gun store in 2022. He's accused of illegally trafficking dozens of guns.

The second weapon was a Stag Arms 300-caliber pistol was allegedly purchased by Williams for Groves at a gun show in 2023 ... as the latter was too young at the time.

In total, Manning is facing 12 federal charges, while Williams Jr. and Groves were both hit with 4 charges.

None of the men are charged with shooting anyone ... though officials aren't ruling out the possibility that the illegal guns were fired.

In fact, according to court docs, 12 people brandished firearms, and at least 6 fired their weapons during the parade.

"Stopping straw buyers and preventing illegal firearms trafficking is our first line of defense against gun violence," U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore said.

"At least two of the firearms recovered from the scene of the mass shooting at Union Station were illegally purchased or trafficked. We work diligently with our law enforcement partners to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals by investigating and prosecuting those who illegally buy and sell dangerous weapons."

FYI, a straw gun sale is when someone purchases a weapon for another individual.

Aside from the federal charges relating to the alleged gun ring, several individuals have been charged in connection with the shooting which left one woman dead and over 20 people, mostly children, injured.

LETTING THE TEARS FLOW
Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce's NFL career is over.

The Philadelphia Eagles superstar just revealed he's officially retiring ... saying at an emotional news conference Monday afternoon he's done.

Jason cried while making the announcement ... in fact, tears streamed down his face even before he began speaking at the event. Several times during his speech, he needed breaks to compose himself.

Plenty of family and friends turned out to watch the 36-year-old center say goodbye ... including Travis Kelce, who was also emotional as his big bro addressed the crowd.

Throughout his speech, Jason thanked a ton of people -- namely coaches and ex-teammates. He also referenced losing the Super Bowl to Travis.

Jason talked about meeting his wife, Kylie, as well. And, he drew some big laughs, too, when he talked about Nick Foles' "big d***" and Darren Sproles' "4-foot-8" height.

After he thanked the city of Philadelphia one more time, he left the podium without taking questions -- and gave a big hug to Travis.

Jason got his start in the league back in 2011, when the Eagles took him in the sixth round of the NFL draft. He went on to play in every game for Philly that season -- and three years later, in 2014, he earned his first Pro Bowl selection.

Jason went on to make the Pro Bowl six more times ... while recording All-Pro honors six total times as well.

In 2018, he won his first Super Bowl when he helped the Birds beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. Jason nearly logged another SB win in 2023, but his younger brother and the Chiefs came out on top in an epic matchup.

While Jason was a star on the field for nearly the entirety of his 13 seasons ... his off-the-field career really exploded this past season.

After Travis began dating Taylor Swift, the duo's "New Heights" podcast took off. Jason also got a bunch more camera time on various networks while the Eagles were on off days.

Many expect Jason's next move to be a broadcast booth -- but for now, it'll be a well-deserved celebration of a Hall of Fame career.
