The Update (Year 4 Archives)- December 20th

·42 min·4 clips

A 15-year-old girl is found dead in Brooklyn after being hit by a school bus on a holiday morning.

Tuesday starts heavy. The host opens with Brooklyn police saying a 15-year-old girl was found dead in the street after apparently being hit by a school bus. Schools were closed for the MLK holiday, and he notes that city DOE vehicles were not on the road. Housing protections take a hit, too. Tenants and homeowners across the state lost part of a nearly two-year moratorium meant to hold off pandemic-era evictions and foreclosures. Then comes the airline warning: AT&T and Verizon's 5G rollout near major airports could ground or delay thousands of flights. Sports comes in fast. The Islanders beat the Flyers 4-1, with Brock Nelson and Casey Kazikas scoring close together in the second. Barry Trotz is back, Ilya Sorokin stops 26 shots, and the Flyers sink further into an eight-game losing streak. Brooklyn's basketball night is rough. Darius Garland puts up 22 points and 12 assists as Cleveland beats a Nets team starting life without Kevin Durant. Kyrie Irving scores 27. James Harden adds 22. Durant's sprained left knee is expected to keep him out at least four to six weeks. The NFL wraps the board, with Matthew Stafford getting his first playoff win as the Rams beat the Cardinals 34-11 and head for Tampa Bay. The close turns back to school: longer days, Saturday classes, summer changes, and what students would actually say about all that before the big-town signoff.
