In general a crack near a support is due to a shear problem.

the beam crashed after loading.

I don't want to push the panic button, but some shoring looks necessary. That's a huge crack/spall.

If it cracked due to loading the beam was inadequate; a simple repair is not enough, it will need strengthening modifications.
You need an experienced structural engineer on site.
BTW, impressive photo file names.
