breaking news maryland 95 southbound at the icc is completely shuttle down. we have a six-mile backup because of an overturned tanker and a large biodiesel spill. going to be hours as they try to clean this up. pat collins just arrived on the scene. you have a pretty good vantage point. what are you seeing and hearing? >> reporter: it's an incredible scen we on a bridge overlooking 95 southbound south of 198 as you look down the road you can see that a tanker has spilled over on to the road. there is some leakage there of what we think is biodiesel fuel. traffic is backed up for miles. they have another tanker here trying to off load the fuel

that's left inside the overturned tanker. in the meantime they have dammed up the road to keep that fuel from spilling further down the road to try to contain this hazmat situation. there are scores of emergency response teams from various counties here on the scene. this happened about an hour ago as this tanker was coming down 95. again, south of 198. it tipped over and then the fuel inside the tanker began leaking out on to 95. 95 southbound at 198 has been jut just shut down. miles as they try to clean up the scene. but that's going to take some time as they still have some fuel on the roadway that they have contained. they still have to offload the fuel that was left on the tanker and then they have to clear the

debris and that overturned tanker from the roadway. we expect this delay to go on for hours as they work this scene here on 95 south of 198. barbara, back to you. >> thank you, pat,w are moving out there. meanwhile, how we see the things around us has been a colorful topic recently. a lot of you were going back and forth on whether this dress was blue and black or white and gold. anna swanson from "the washington post" joins us to talk about that. she's written an article on it and can tell us why we see it differently. this is crazy, anna. >> it is, yes. to me the dress wa black. i'm not sure about you. >> i agree with you. why do some people see it as white and gold? >> i think what was going on with the dress is that it was kind of an optical illusion. and even scientists found this kind of puzzling.

but it turns out when we look at an object our eyes try to subtract the lighting around it. if you look at an apple at noon or dusk it still looks red to you. there's something going on with the lighting and exposure. >> that's amazing. in your article you talk about how from the way we see them. i'm looking at this spectrum here. i think the one at the top is how you say humans see color when we look at the rainbow is point of the article is the way we see color is determined by our physiology but our eyes and our brains. so the first image at the top is the way a bow. it turns out what a dog sees when it looks at a rain bow is quite a bit different. they just see yellow and green and blue. what a butterfly would see is much more complex. >> than what we even see. we can see that from the

physiology of the eye. but how do you know how a dog sees the color? >> that's a very tricky question. i think scientists have looked at the cone cells in the eyes of humans and of dogs and humans cone cells to see three colors red, green and blue where dogs just have blue and yellow so they are not able to distinguish colors in shades of red red. >> it's very int or it. i'm glad you agreed with me anna. thanks a lot. it's great to have you with us. >> thank you very much. let's go to pat collins on the t overturned tanker on i-95 leaking fuel out there. what can you now, pat? >> reporter: barbara, it's still a working scene here on 95 south of 198. an overturned tanker with biodiesel fuel. the fuel spilled on to 95.

>> not at this time. we h eva out. this product is a combustible product so it's not near as volatile as gasoline would be. >> reporter: how long before it's all cleaned up? >> the clean up will extend for days on some of it but in terms of opening the roadway it's gomez with the prince georges county fire department. again, we're looking down here at this tanker that tipped over on 95 south of 198. it had biodiesel fuel. there was leakage on to 95. they are trying to clean that . they brought in another tanker to siphon off the rest of the fuel that was inside. they say there were two people with minor injuries. no one has to be transported, but it could take some time before they have this all cleaned up and before they can open 95 southbound here. we're keeping an eye on things. we'll have more at 4:00 5:00 and 6:00. back to you.

reasonable but repetitive type of motion that you do with certain things biting your nails, we see all of these things occur with a lot of dermatology patients. >> can people pull eyebrows out? >> you can and it can lead to permanent hair loss. that's why we try to work with a person with obsessive compulsive behavior. sometimes it's changing the behavior and a lot of times they may have to see a psychiatrist or go on medications for that. but there are topical preparations that we can do to help enhance eyelash and eyebrow growth. >> people will pick at their skin. >> all the time. so acne, when i see that, i have to make su to trt this patient. they may have to go on something like medications because it's something that will be a little bit more curative for their acne versus controlling it so there's nothing on their face to pick. >> they are picking because

there's acne there. >> there's something there yes. so that sometimes a solution is to treat the condition and then therefore the obsessive behavior decreases. >> awareness is probably the first step in getting a cure. >> it's very common. it's a very common issue. >> thank you so much. chopper 4 is live over the breaking news. take a look. a tanker is lying across i-95 in the area. we're watching this closely and keep you updated throughout the day on all our platforms. in other news a local kuch l encountered a
