impact consumers. when some of these shipping companies start passing the additional cost on to the prices back here at home. but in addition to that, as these houthi attacks have become more and more aggressive, we saw on tuesday with more than 20 projectiles, u.s. officials are increasingly concerned that they could have an attack that is successful, if it were to hit something like a u.s. military ship. that would have the immediate impact of really drawing the u.s. more directly into the regional conflict there. courtney, any signs of retaliation from the houthis? so far there actually has been one a u.s. military official said they believe was retaliation for the strikes last night. firing off a ballistic missile into the red sea. again, a busy shipping area. no ships struck. not shot down. so far that s it. i have to say, i mentioned the massive number of strikes overnight. 150 different missiles and bombs. what we should really be watching for here is whether this really was
they have shut down all the traffic lanes for the shipping area and it is busy. it is a busy ship and they will be losing a lot of money. they are trying to figure out after the get that crewmember out how they can right that ship, get it out of the way, get the gas out of the water coming get the port of brunswick back up and running. but right now, the tricky maneuver of trying to get that fourth and final crewmember out of the golden ship has all hands on deck right now, shep. shepard: trace gallagher more updates throughout the afternoon. thank you. now this breaking news out of baltimore where fire and police officials say they discovered a thing on with 1,000 gallons of gasoline and cans in it, parked in a garage. the local station there in baltimore said the fire department got a threat of a suspicious vehicle parked in this building, safety officials ordered an evacuation and again,
