over to you. thank you so much, steve. he s a 25-year-old construction veteran not 25 years old actually. he s been in the construction business for 25 years. he was overseeing massive multimillion dollar projects in new york city. his new mission is working with much smaller clients on a new reality show. take a look. now, we use our expertise to help the little guys. small businesses about to go under because of bad contractors and botched construction. we start with demolition and in just four days, transform disasters into dreams. charlie is the host and the force behind construction intervention. and also, with us is walter lewis, a new york firefighter whose restaurant just winging it is one of the show s success stories. nice to see you guys. good morning. you re also a marine and you re a firefighter so thank you, first of all, for your service and this is a good reality show for all of you guys out there that don t like reality shows, this one has the great pre
weather? what was it? hey, you re a weather guy. you know what it was. fog and, you know what? there were thundershowers within the 30 mile zone here at the kennedy space center, steve, you know that is a huge issue for nasa. at 6:12 this morning, just a little while ago, mission control told the discovery crew the 7:34 ain t going to happen. pass on this one. and then in the same breath, it told them to look, start looking through the owner s manual, if you will, name specific pages about what that crew needed to do next. nasa most definitely wants to land this bird this morning here in florida. but as you were saying, steve, there are a couple of huge issues that have been playing really out for the past several hours. there was a heavy fog here in this part of florida. central florida. it didn t burn off. it hasn t burned off just yet and also, there are these storms just off the ocean, and there is concern that those things will start to move in just about the same time that the
landing here. what they are hoping also is that as the morning goes on, they re hoping that this strong florida morning sun here in this part of southwest florida will begin to burn off this fog and hopefully the storm showers that we re seeing off the ocean will remain that way off the ocean and will not impede or become part of the trajectory, if you will, for the shuttle to come in. this crew has been up there now for 15 days because this landing was delayed already one day. they have a chance to land at edwards air force base in southern california at 9:01 but nasa is hoping they come here. nasa should decide in one hour or so, steve. orlando salinas live at the space place. thank you very much. let s look at the radar and satellite pictures and we ve got take a look, down in florida, you can see those showers that he was talking about. right now, according to this, there is some precipitation but it s the fog that s the problem.
center at 9:08 eastern. if that doesn t work, the shuttle will head to california. the first landing time there is 9:01 a.m. eastern. well, we will, of course, bring you nasa s decision as soon as it happens. ultimately, it will be steve doocey s call. the u.s. warning syria about its alleged arm sales to hezbollah. the state department is not confirming the transfer of missiles to hezbollah but say they are taking these allegations seriously. last week, israeli accused of syrian government of providing missiles to forces inside lebanon. the state department says this move threatens ongoing efforts to achieve peace in the middle east. and check out this video, firefighters in nebraska battle a huge fire at a popular local restaurant in the town of watt hill. crews rushed to put out the flames but the fire was too much to handle and the restaurant was completely destroyed. oh! fortunately, firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to surrounding
in the wreck but everybody involved including jeff gordon and tony stewart walked away. denny hamlin coming off knee surgery took the checkered flag and the texas motor speedway is second in a month. if you have a knee injury, it s good to be in a car and not have to walk. history made at the boston marathon. american ryan hall finishes with the fastest ever time for a u.s. runner at 2:08. he would finish fourth overall. the winner, robert kay cheriot of kenya who shouldn t be confused with the other robert k. who won four years ago of course a lot of people would like to confuse the two. very rare for a kenyan to win the marathon. they should let us win once and a while. we don t have american marathoners that are good, steve. this is your calling. you could do it. listen, i m jim ryan, the sprinter or the miler turned congressman held the record for the one mile for many, many years but not good enough, steve.
