A massive search effort was underway Tuesday for six construction workers who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore when it was struck by a large cargo vessel and collapsed into the Patapsco River, shutting down a critical artery for East Coast shipping, authorities said.

Around 1:30 a.m. a vessel leaving the Port of Baltimore struck the Key Bridge, causing it to collapse in a matter of seconds. Officials said the crew warned of a power issue and sent out a "mayday" before the collision. Footage of the incident shows the cargo ship smash into one of the columns before the bridge snapped, hit the water and partially fell on the ship, where a burst of flames and smoke could be seen rising into the night sky.

For the past 23 years, Gethsemani Baptist Church in San Luis, Arizona, made it its mission to offer food to anyone who wanted it.

Through free meals and food drives, the church fed its local community, as well as hungry families in the greater region, like California and Mexico.

The church, which is about a 5-minute drive from the Mexican border, also served as a crucial support system for people who crossed into the United States, often fatigued, overwhelmed and with little to no belongings.

But that all came to a halt this month, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court by the church earlier this month.

Gunmen opened fire at the 6,200-seat Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow on Friday evening at a concert for the Russian rock group Piknik.

Sixty people were killed, a spokesperson for Russia’s Investigative Committee said in the early hours of Saturday according to Russian media, and the number may rise. Earlier authorities had said at least 145 were wounded. Ria news agency quoted Moscow governor Andrey Vorobyov as saying 110 adults and five children had been hospitalised, with 60 adults in a serious condition.

Up to five gunmen were believed to be involved in the attack, which was later claimed by Islamic State in a post on Telegram which suggested that the attackers had managed to escape afterwards. Videos released by social media channels close to the security services showed at least two armed men walking into the hall.

The U.S. Department of Education sent hundreds of thousands of inaccurate student financial aid assessments to colleges in recent weeks, it acknowledged Friday – an error it blamed on an outside vendor.

Although the announcement said the problem has been resolved, it likely will further delay financial aid offers to college and high school students.

Critics described the oversight as the latest misstep in the Biden administration’s rollout of the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, a college financial aid form used by millions of students every year. A congressional mandate to streamline the form has been beset with glitches and blunders, eroding trust between colleges and the federal officials they rely on to help them dole out financial aid to students.
