Downtown LA streets closed

“We know you want to celebrate the Dodgers World Series win, but please do not head to the Downtown LA area,” the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted before announcing a citywide tactical alert. “There are many streets closed in the Downtown LA area and traffic will be heavily impacted. Please celebrate responsibly.”

Police also closed the 6th Street Bridge to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic from Mateo Street and Boyle Street. 

Officers showed up in riot gear near downtown Los Angeles after a large group of Dodgers fans took over some of the streets closed near Crypto.com Arena. 

“Figueroa is closed between Olympic and Pico. Surrounding streets around LA Live have also been closed to all vehicle traffic,” the department tweeted.

Police issued a dispersal order at Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street near the stadium. Officers began to move the crowd away from LA Live after fireworks exploded near them. After pushing the celebration out of the area, officers mounted on horses stayed around the arena and patrolled the area.

After getting kicked out of LA Live, the celebrations continued nearby with hundreds of people filling the intersection of 9th and Flower Streets. They continued to block traffic and light fireworks as officers gathered nearby. 

Fans gather at Dodger Stadium

Outside of Dodger Stadium, fans gathered next to the entrance and blocked the street while also lighting some fireworks. It caused the LAPD to issue another dispersal order at Sunset and Vin Scully because of the “unlawful assembly.”

Crowds take to the streets in East LA 

Elsewhere, fans in East LA also took to the streets to celebrate with fireworks shows as traffic tried to force their way past the revelers. The crowds continued to grow, blocking all lanes of Whittier Boulevard near Atlantic Boulevard. 

Nearly an hour later, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declared an unlawful assembly and started to disperse the crowd. 

As deputies moved closer to the gathering, the celebrations morphed into a street takeover with a car doing donuts around a group of fans near the historic Whittier Boulevard sign.

Transportation is a lifeline, but experts say it’s aging, underfunded and unable to withstand more frequent and intense extreme weather events. And if changes aren’t made quickly, the EPA says the costs will be “steep,” with hundreds of billions of dollars of damage every year.

A recently discovered comet that some stargazers had hoped to see during Halloween week has disintegrated before the day of ghosts and ghouls.

NASA confirmed Tuesday its sun-observing spacecraft captured the moment when the comet Atlas broke into chunks this week as it passed close to the sun.

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured the comet as it zoomed toward the sun, posting video of its flight on social media.

At the time, NASA noted that the comet reached its perihelion, or closest approach of the sun, on Monday at 7:30am ET.

“Over the past few days, it has broken into chunks as it approached the sun,” NASA said.

Astronomers have been tracking the so-called Halloween comet, also known as C/2024 S1, since it was discovered in September by a telescope in Hawaii.

As it raced toward the sun, a space observatory operated by NASA and the European Space Agency spied its demise.

The comet is thought to be part of a family of comets that pass incredibly close to the sun.
