Collapsed Baltimore bridge span comes down with a boom after crews set off chain of explosives Crews have set off a chain of explosives to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The demolition Monday marks a major step in freeing the grounded Dali container ship. The span landed on the ship’s bow after the Dali lost power and crashed into one of the bridge’s support columns shortly after leaving Baltimore on March 26. Since then, the ship has been stuck amid the wreckage and Baltimore’s busy port has been closed to most maritime traffic. The controlled demolition will allow the Dali to be refloated and restore traffic through the port. California moves closer to requiring new pollutant-warning labels for gas stoves The California Assembly has approved legislation that would require new gas stoves to carry a label warning users about pollutants that have been linked to respiratory illnesses. The proposal approved Monday would apply to gas stoves or ranges made or sold online after 2024, or sold in a store after 2025. The bill now heads to the state Senate. Proponents of the legislation say it will help address childhood asthma and other respiratory problems. But opponents say it is unnecessary in part because the state already requires warning labels for household products that can expose people to chemicals linked to cancer and other illnesses.
