    Baltimore, MD - Container Ship Strikes Francis Scott Key Bridge - Mass Casualty Situation

    Speed is limited to 6 knots or less from Fort McHenry on toward the Inner Harbor (called a no wake zone). Once you pass Fort McHenry heading out of the Harbor toward the Key Bridge speed is not restricted. In other words - you are not required to travel at no wake speed when approaching/boating...

    Baltimore, MD - Container Ship Strikes Francis Scott Key Bridge - Mass Casualty Situation

    I saw a video of an experienced engineer suggesting the first plume of smoke was from the generators coming on after the power outage and the second bigger cloud of smoke was from the engines trying to reverse/hard turn the ship after the gens came on. If that is the case it was exhaust, not...

    Baltimore, MD - Container Ship Strikes Francis Scott Key Bridge - Mass Casualty Situation

    The round concrete things are in fact dolphins. I boat on this water and they are marked on charts (including NOAA) as dolphins not channel markers. They may have been inadequate, but they were intended to help protect the bridge.

    Baltimore, MD - Container Ship Strikes Francis Scott Key Bridge - Mass Casualty Situation

    There are four dolphins in place to help protect the bridge abutments. They are concrete and you can see one right alongside the Dali around midship in the photo above.

    FL - Michael Banks shoots his mother and daughter and kills mother's friend after trying to pursue romantic relationship with daughter - Jan. 19 2024

    And the daughter he shot is 17. So was it her mother that he assaulted 17 years ago? What a terrible legacy of violence.

    I don't know how to bring the photo over, but the first thing I thought of when I saw Riley's shirt was Garth Brooks!

    Found Deceased TN - Riley Strain, 22, missing after leaving bar, Nashville, 8 March 2024 #2

    A work colleague, not overly intoxicated, was asked to leave a Nashville Bar (Tootsie's) because the bartender overheard him say the other bartender "didn't have to be a b___h about it". They said they have a zero tolerance policy for patrons using profanity when speaking to/of staff.

    Found Deceased TN - Riley Strain, 22, missing from a bar, Nashville, 8 March 2024

    My family and friends drink, as do I, and we are very familiar with bar etiquette and the removal of overly intoxicated patrons. The bar is trying to get the person off their property. I have witnessed a drunk young woman who had slipped on the dance floor and split her chin open being...

    Murder-Suicide in Laurel, MD

    I know people who know the family of the perpetrator - seems they were solid upper middle-class and people are shocked that he would do this to someone. I understand that the victim was a member of the military stationed close by. Something else that makes it newsworthy.

    MO - 2nd woman found dead in firefighter's home - Frontenac, MO (suburban St. Louis)

    Anaphylaxis can be sudden and result in death. I think it would depend on the trigger and activation of the Mast Cells.

    MO - 2nd woman found dead in firefighter's home - Frontenac, MO (suburban St. Louis)

    Wow. If it’s true that the opposite of love isn’t hate it is indifference, then those two were definitely in some sort of twisted love affair. While he was cruel, she seemed delusional

    OH - Clermont County father lined up sons 3, 4, and 7, executed with rifle, mother injured trying to protect them, June 2023

    I think that “planned this for months” could simply mean he had thoughts of doing this for some time. The thoughts could have been deliberate or could have been intrusive/unwanted.

    Murder-Suicide in Laurel, MD

    I think this is so newsworthy yet no one is writing about it. Her life should be talked about.

    Murder-Suicide in Laurel, MD

    It is brutal. I can’t wrap my head around the lack of closure that everyone involved will feel. So unfair.

    Are you saying that since it is in MSM I could post the names here or link to the article(s)?
