Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Peers Rose with three things you need to.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Know for your Wednesday Rose, which you got for us.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
So, all sixty seven victims in last week's deadly midair
collision near Reagan have been recovered. Official confirmed the news.
On Tuesday, an Immigrant Airlines plane, as you know, collided
with an Army black Hawk helicopter. Now I do want
to highlight there as the US Army is going to
be holding immemorial service at Fort Belvoir to honor three

(00:29):
crew members of the black Hawk helicopter who died. And
among those invited to the service is a rookie DC
firefighters named Sean Wathin or Waitan. I'm sorry if I
miss pronounce that he is a former marine. And when
first responders recovered the body of helicopter's crew, Chief Staff
Sergeant Ryan O'Hara, he saw the military flight suit and
stood guard over his body inside temporary morgue for four

(00:52):
hours until he was relieved by a military member and
completed a dignified transfer. I just thought that was it
really incredible that he did that. So Maryland Governor Wes
Moore unveiled a new design concept for the Francis Scott
Key Bridge. That's the first of its kind in Maryland,
and we'll stand forty five feet taller to accommodate larger ships,
so it will be Maryland's first cable stay bridge. There's

(01:15):
going to be two travel lanes in each direction and
an increased height from one to eighty five to two
hundred and thirty feet. And Governor Morris said, we're going
to use the best materials available and we're going to
employ many Marylanders to get it done. He says, this
is a really big deal. This is an incredible step forward.
So demolition of the existing piers begins this spring and

(01:36):
then immediately after construction on the new bridge begins and
that is set to open in the fall of twenty
twenty eight. And Alex Ovechkin last night scored an empty
net goal with a tenth of a second remallion in
the game. That's all. It was a buzzer beater, absolutely
incredible to see. The score marked his eight hundred and

(01:58):
seventy eighth career goal, bringing him seventeen shots away from
breaking Kretzky's NHL Gold record, which is incredible. So there
was a little bit of a delay with the War
because they had to watch the overhead video to make
sure that it had crossed the line before the buzzer
went off. So just wild to see I'm Rose. Those

(02:18):
are the three things you need to know today.
