Jalen Hurts pens letter calling for action over 'near-tragic' rail collapse at Washington
CNN
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has penned an open letter calling for follow-up action to what he described as a "near-tragic incident" involving a collapsed railing at the Washington Football Team's FedEx Field on Sunday.
Hurts was entering the tunnel leading to the locker room following a 20-16 Eagles victory -- cheered overhead by excited Eagles fans -- when the railing collapsed, spilling fans onto the ground and missing the 23-year-old quarterback by mere inches.
The Eagles star helped fans to their feet before taking pictures with them -- much to their delight -- but in his open letter to the NFL and the Washington Football Team on Tuesday, said that he had become "extremely concerned" by the incident following the "initial shock."

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
