| Officials to Test Tsunami Warning System in Alaska On Wednesday, March 27th at approximately 10:20 am, the National Weather Service, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, and the Alaska Broadcasters Association will conduct a test of the Alaska tsunami warning system as a part of tsunami preparedness week in Alaska. The test will be broadcast on radio and television stations and the broadcast will state that it is only a test. Some communities may activate their sirens. NOAA Weather Radio listeners will hear a tone alert followed by a test message. The test will not be sent to cellphones via the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system, although in an actual Tsunami Warning this system would be used. After the test, you are invited to provide feedback at www.ready.alaska.gov. The test will be canceled in the event of any significant seismic activity. KINY-AM 800 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Ship collides with Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland, causing collapse Six people are missing after a large ship collided with the I-695 Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to crumble into the Patapsco River. According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the ship named DALI was carrying cargo for the Danish based company, Maersk, from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka. A preliminary investigation revealed the 948-foot vessel lost power around 1:40am Tuesday, before striking a bridge support beam. At the time of the crash, the bridge was undergoing construction, causing several workers to fall in the water. Scanner traffic offered a glimpse of what happened in the moments leading up to the collapse. "There's a ship approaching that just lost it's steering." WMAR-TV ABC 2 BALTIMORE Related: A list of major US bridge collapses caused by ships and barges Never Forget: 10 years since deadly Back Bay fire took the lives of 2 Boston firefighters VIDEO: Tuesday marks 10 years since a deadly Back Bay fire claimed the lives of two Boston firefighters. Lt. Edward Walsh and firefighter Michael Kennedy were killed while fighting a wind-fueled, nine-alarm fire at 298 Beacon St. on March 26, 2014. The two men went inside after they were told someone might be trapped in the basement, then became trapped themselves. Kennedy, 33, was a veteran of the Marine Corps and lived in Hyde Park. He had been with the department for 6 ½ years. Walsh, 43, had been with the department for 9 ½ years. He lived in West Roxbury with his wife and three young children. "We lost two heroes. It makes me proud to be mayor of the city of Boston after watching how the men and women of the Boston Fire Department worked today. These two heroes ran into a burning building and got people out," then-Mayor Marty Walsh said in 2014. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON Bill Written in Response to Ship Fire that Claimed Lives of Two New Jersey Firefighters Advances Federal legislation calling for studies on vessel fires within three nautical miles of the shoreline to reduce vessel and waterfront facility risk to local communities was passed by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recently. The bill was introduced by Congressman Rob Menendez (NJ-08) in response to the tragic vessel fire that occurred in Newark in July 2023, which claimed the lives of two Newark firefighters, Augusto "Augie" Acabou and Wayne "Bear" Brooks Jr. According to reports, firefighters, including from Bayonne, Hoboken, North Hudson, and Paterson, arrived at the site to find five to seven vehicles fully engulfed on the 10th floor of the massive cargo ship. The blaze spread to the 11th and 12th floors as firefighters battled the intense heat. TAP INTO JERSEY CITY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
