The Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses After Container Ship Crashes Into Supporting Pier

When a massive cargo ship called the Dali lost power in the Port of Baltimore, crews scrambled to control the ship. They sent out a mayday signal to evacuate The Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge lying ahead, but it was too late. In less than a minute, the midsection of the 1.6-mile-long truss bridge plunged into the cold river below. None of the ship’s crew members were injured. Six construction workers are believed to have fallen from the bridge. The bodies of two of the victims have been recovered, while four remain missing and are presumed dead.

O.J. Simpson, Former Football Great and Controversial Figure, Dies at 76

O.J. Simpson, one of the greatest running backs in history and a controversial public figure, passes at the age of 76 after battling prostate cancer. Born July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, California, Simpson rose to fame as a running back at the University of Southern California (USC), winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968. He played professionally for 11 seasons, primarily with the Buffalo Bills, becoming one of the greatest running backs in history and breaking numerous records. After his football career, Simpson found success as an actor and sports commentator.

In 1994, Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. His televised criminal trial dubbed the "Trial of the Century," captivated the nation, sparking intense debates about race and police conduct. Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, but a subsequent civil trial found him liable for their deaths. In 2008, he was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas and served nine years in prison before being released on parole in 2017. Simpson remains a controversial figure, with many believing he was guilty of the murders despite his criminal acquittal.
