On Wednesday a container ship rammed into the Bay Bridge, spilling 58,000 gallons of oil into San Francisco Bay. In the first half-hour, the program discusses the environmental impacts. Also, the stock market plummeted this week in the wake of a bleak forecast by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The show looks at how the ongoing market chaos might impact businesses, consumers and the overall economy in the second half-hour.
