Talked to the people who called 911. They have amazing footage of the fire. What is the latest . Reporter yeah julia, the fire is contained. No longer threatening nearby structures, the big worry is the winds are really picking up and so they are looking out for any hotspots to put out. Now looking at the big flames from this morning, a lot of folks are calling the ss Jeremiah Obrien a memorial day miracle. Fire, smoke, and explosions. Witnesses say this intense firefight started out from what may be the explosion of a small propane tank at 4 15 in the morning. I heard an explosion in the fire burst out of the building. All i heard was a big old bang and i thought, it made it loud because of the warehouse, the echo. Maher had just arrived at work. She helps to inoculate other workers at nearby buildings. It was scary but i had to act fast and make sure to call 911. Workers say what was a small fire quickly spread and in less than five minutes engulfed the building with smoke. Shootin m
Explosion of a small propane tank at 415 in the morning. We heard an explosion in the fire just burst out of the building. All i heard was a big bang. And it was just, it made it loud because of the warehouse echo. Mayor sylvia zahn had just arrived at work. She helped to evacuate other workers at nearby buildings. It was scary but i had to act fast and call 911. Workers say what was a small fire quickly spread and in less than five minutes engulfed the building with thick black smoke. Shooting out of the roof, it was big and it was hot. Really up in my face. Felt the heat. Flames shut up about 100 feet into the sky. Right now we are dealing with surround and ground, we are getting this from all sides, it is too dangerous for our members to be in there. Two fire votes is water to prevent the flames from jumping to the ss Jeremiah Obrien Floating Museum which is docked next to the warehouse. It is my professional opinion that without the fire we would have lost the Jeremiah Obrien. 4 re
The presiding officer the senator from connecticut. Mr. Murphy are we in a quorum call, mr. President . The presiding officer we are not. Mr. Murphy thank you, mr. President. Mr. President , i thank my colleagues for their indulgence this evening, and for those of us those of you who help us keep this floor open. I will make some longer remarks later this evening, but while we have a short break in the floor waiting for senator brown to arrive, i wanted to say a word of appreciation to all of my colleagues who have decided to join us this evening on the floor. This is my first appearance here, to talk about the imperative of changing the nations gun laws, recognizing that this number, 100 americans killed by guns every single day, is not inevitable. Almost every single one of these murders and suicides and accidental shootings is preventable. If we make different choices here on the floor of the United States senate, and our purpose tonight is to try to bring some consistency of effort
Atlanta, nashville and other cities talked about Lessons Learned from Mass Shootings and the longterm effects on communities. The discussion held at the u. S. Conference of mayors 2023 meeting in columbus, ohio. Hi. Thank you, tom. When a Mass Shootings occurs, particularly one that makes national news. People across the country recoil in horror at the tragedy and at the senseless taking of innocent lives. People are gunnened down, going about their business, work, school, shooting or to a medical appointment or spending a night out in their town and in the city where it happens, its local police and other Emergency Personnel who are first on the scene and generally right behind them is the mayor. I think most of us feel this is the hardest part of what we do, from the initial shock, to sorting out facts of what happened. Making sure the suspect or suspects have been apprehended and they are still alive. And the victims and providing information and comfort to their families and inform
