Sunday evening news

Last night, I saw a news program on Channel 11 (NBC) where there were updates on what has been going on in the Maryland area as well as the White House. First there was a major accident in Harford County on Interstate 95 that backed up all the way to the beltway. The anchor said that the truck that caused the accident was carrying liquid nitrogen and the newscasters would keep the audience updated on that later on. There was one camera shot of the traffic on the Interstate. However, there was no update on that afterwards because the nightly news was coming up shortly after.

After a brief update on Mayor Dixon's trial, the latest news that the healthcare bill finally passed in the House of Representatives. There was a couple of shots of President Obama coming outside of the White House to make a speech about the bill that passed the House, which eventually cut to the Speaker of the House who announced that the bill was passed. There was some cheering in the House that I heard when the Speaker made the announcement.

Later on, there was a sports update on the Ravens and Bengals game Sunday afternoon, where the Ravens lost 17-7. There was some field action shown which led to a close up on some of the players, looking tired and beaten. The Bengals players looked to be a bit more cheerful. There was more field action before another close up on the players. On the close up, one of the Ravens players exclaimed angrily in the air and the camera immediately cut to the crowd before going to the players again.
