Anti-Israel protesters blocked roads for drivers trying to reach Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and for those attempting to cross San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. 

Videos on social media showed protesters sitting in the middle of Interstate 190 with their arms interlocked using long tubes to stop cars from being able to drive into the Chicago airport. 

Protesters were holding signs that read “Free Palestine” and “Stop Genocide.”

The activists blocking the access caused travelers flying out of the airport to grab their luggage and run to the airport, as seen in videos. 

However, organizers of the protest claim that the purpose of the protests was to send a message to Boeing, because the company sells weapons to Israel. 

“On this Tax Day, when millions are paying taxes that fund the ongoing U.S. and Israeli bombardment of Gaza, protesters seek to take dramatic action,” the group Chicago Dissenters wrote in an Instagram post. “O’Hare International Airport is one of the largest in the country, and there will be NO business as usual while Palestinians suffer at the hands of American funded bombing by Israel.”

According to Chicago officials, by 9:30 am they said the highway had reopened, allowing traffic flow to resume with “substantial” delays. 

Travelers flying out of O’Hare airport were warned to “allow for extra time if traveling to the airport.”

O’Hare International Airport is considered one of the busiest airports in the world, which hosts close to 83 million per year. 

In San Francisco, anti-Israel protesters blocked all northbound and southbound lanes on the Golden Gate Bridge, calling for the U.S. to stop supporting Israel in their war with Hamas.

Videos showed protesters unveiling a giant banner that said, “Stop the world for Gaza.”

“Expect delays and use alternate routes,” the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management posted on X.

Additionally, protesters shut down Interstate 880 in Oakland, California, before 7a.m. PST.

Local authorities in riot gear responded to the scene to clear out the protesters.

Baltimore Bridge Disaster: Hazardous Chemicals Leaking Into River

Baltimore Bridge Disaster: Hazardous Chemicals Leaking Into River

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - MARCH 26: The cargo ship Dali sits in the water after running into and collapsing the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. According to reports, rescuers are still searching for multiple people, while two survivors have been pulled from the Patapsco River. A work crew was fixing potholes on the bridge, which is used by roughly 30,000 people each day, when the ship struck at around 1:30am on Tuesday morning. The accident has temporarily closed the Port of Baltimore, one of the largest and busiest on the East Coast of the U.S. (Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)

Hazardous chemicals are leaking into the Baltimore harbor following a cargo shipwreck which destroyed the Francis Scott Key bridge.

Early Tuesday morning, a container ship rammed into the major bridge causing it to snap and plunge into the river.

On Wednesday, Jennifer Homendy, the chair for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), stated that her team discovered and identified 56 containers on the cargo ship that contain “764 tons of hazardous materials.”

Some of the materials that threaten the water surrounding the bridge include corrosives, lithium ion batteries and flammables.

A sheen of hazardous material has been seen in the waterway. It is unclear which containers on the Singaporean ship were breached. The exact number will be revealed in two-to-four weeks.

Journalist Lara Logan said her intelligence sources confirmed that this was an intentional cyber attack.
