Spirit Airlines Pilot's Final Flight Canceled, Southwest Gives Him Unforgettable Retirement

Spirit Airlines pilot Jon Jackson's final flight was canceled when the low-cost carrier suddenly ceased operations on Saturday. His son, a Southwest pilot, arranged an impromptu retirement celebration upon landing at Baltimore-Washington International, complete with water cannon salute and champagne. Spirit Airlines, which had filed for bankruptcy twice, shut down after 34 years due to rising fuel costs linked to the US-Israel war on Iran.

Baltimore Ravens Sign Undrafted Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia Ahead of Rookie Minicamp

The Baltimore Ravens signed undrafted Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia on Tuesday, three days before his scheduled rookie minicamp tryout. Pavia, who became the first Heisman Trophy finalist to go undrafted in 12 years, led Vanderbilt to its first double-digit win season in school history (10-3) and was named SEC Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-American. The Ravens also signed undrafted Connecticut quarterback Joe Fagnano, giving both equal opportunity to compete for the No. 3 quarterback spot.

Smithsonian Carousel Reopens With Ties to Civil Rights History

The Smithsonian carousel reopened Friday after nearly three years of restoration, featuring rides originally from Gwynn Oak Amusement Park outside Baltimore. The carousel holds special significance as it was desegregated on August 28, 1963 — the same day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I Have A Dream' speech. Sharon Langley, who was just 11 months old when she became the first Black child to ride the carousel that day, returned this week to ride a horse named Freedom Rider. The ribbon-cutting honored African American adults from Baltimore who were among the first to desegregate the carousel in the 1960s.

Smithsonian Carousel Reopens After 3-Year Restoration, Honoring Civil Rights History

The Smithsonian Institution's historic carousel reopened Friday on the National Mall after nearly three years of restoration.

Sharon Langley, who was the first Black child to ride that day as an infant, rode again at the reopening on a horse called Freedom Rider.

Undocumented Mother of Baltimore Bridge Collapse Victim Faces Deportation Under Trump Administration

Zoila Guerra Sandoval, 48, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant, faces deportation despite receiving promises of protection from the Biden administration after her co-parent José Mynor López was killed in the 2024 Baltimore bridge collapse. Her 7-year-old U.S. citizen daughter allows her to qualify for parole in place, but USCIS denied her application in an April 14 letter and placed her in removal proceedings. Her initial hearing is scheduled for July.
