As President Biden and his family enjoyed fireworks from a White House balcony there was a looming question - how did cocaine end up inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? The discovery of cocaine in a west wing cubby hole used by staff and guests to store their phones has plenty of people scratching their heads. Sabila Vargas has the latest on this White House 'who dun it?' And, it wasn't just people on holiday at the beach this July fourth. Plenty of sharks were around too. In Florida, one sighting seemed like a scene right out of the movie, Jaws. Someone yelled “shark” and folks ran out of the water as fast as they could. Plus, just days after a crack was discovered on one of the fastest rollercoasters in the nation, comes another amusement park scare when a thrill ride got stuck – upside down. Now, we're learning more about what it was like to be left dangling upside down for hours. And, they feel like they're living in a nightmare.

It's July 4th and today America is celebrating our nation's independence. Police expect their phones will be ringing off the hook because fireworks can sound a lot like gunshots. If you're scared…your animals are terrified. In fact, some are literally being scared to death. And a man was shooting hoops in the driveway when he heard his wife call for help. Moments after sinking what looked like a three pointer, this hero dad saved his little girl who was choking on a carrot. Plus, a 911 call placed from a shopper. But she wasn't having a medical emergency…just something down right embarrassing. And when a woman went to update her driver’s license…she got the shock of her life!

It's the most traditional way to celebrate July 4th - taking in a fireworks display. But as spectacular as they are to watch, they also can bring a drastic drop in air quality. So, this year after some of the worst air quality in history, many areas are cutting back or even canceling their fireworks. And, it's being called the busiest July fourth holiday ever when it comes to travel. Lots of people are heading to Yosemite National Park. In fact, people are waiting in incredibly long lines just to get in with many visitors turning away due to the massive crowds. Plus, if you are heading to an amusement park this holiday, this is not what you want to hear about. Today, inspectors are checking out this rollercoaster that's been closed for safety reasons. And it's all because of a dad who shot this video of a crack in one of the support pillars. Now he's speaking with Inside Edition about getting the ride shut down. And, she's the influencer mom who claimed a couple tried to kidnap her kids in a parking lot. Then she admitted she made the whole thing up.

Everyone else on the flight had given up, and he ended up being the sole passenger on the plane! Steven Fabian, who had his own travel troubles, has details. And murder charges have been dropped against a Chicago mom and her son. She had been accused of ordering her son to kill a man after a dispute in a fast-food place. But after more details of the incident came out, including video - prosecutors said they wouldn't be able to meet the burden of proof to get a conviction. Plus, he was the pool guy, just doing his job - but the homeowner thought he was an intruder and started shooting.

This is not the way you want your vacation to start. A freak storm strikes before a cruise ship even leaves the dock. The winds were so strong everything became projectiles as passengers ran for their lives. And, the US Coast Guard continues to search the ocean bed two and a half miles below the surface where debris from the doomed submersible, the Titan, are scattered about.

As we've learned more about the doomed submersible at the bottom of the ocean, the more parallels there seem to be to the titanic. Like the captain of the ocean liner, the developer of Titan said the craft had failsafe features and he pushed ahead despite warnings of danger. These men all had the chance to take a ride on the Titan, but when they looked into it, they passed. And will the Titanic submarine disaster bring a halt to wealthy thrill seekers taking extreme vacations? Will it perhaps prompt more questions or stricter regulation? Jim Moret reports. Plus, it was a desperate act from a family in a desperate situation. They were trapped on the third floor of a burning building. Their only hope: to drop their five year old out the window and have faith that the bedsheet in the hands of rescuers below would hold. Les Trent with more on the heart stopping moment. And it was a glittering night at the White House last night as the President and First Lady hosted the Prime Minister of India for a gala state dinner.

Grim news today following the location of a debris field near the wreckage of the Titanic. The company that operates the missing submersible now says they believe there has been a catastrophic failure and that the five men on board perished in the disaster.

For descendants of those who perished in the wreck of the Titanic...the idea that their deathbed should be a destination for extreme tourism isn't sitting very well. Plus, a 13-year-old had just finished swimming in a Florida creek when an alligator lunged from the water and bit him. Not only did the kid not freak out!

The ill-fated submersible mission is putting the spotlight on extreme tourism. The men paid $250,000 each to see the Titanic. Whether it’s rocketing into space or climbing Mt. Everest, Megan Alexander says there are many incredibly expensive and potentially dangerous ways thrill seekers can spend their time. And a woman seated next to a 50 pound pit bull was not a bit happy about it....prompting the question - should a potentially dangerous animal be allowed in the cabin - even if it’s an emotional support animal?

As the hours tick by, hope is dimming that the five men making a deep-sea tour of the wreckage of the Titanic will be found alive. They've got a limited air supply, and it runs out Thursday morning. The Coast Guard is doing everything in their power to find the submersible, but as one expert explained it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Very few can actually know what it’s like to be trapped two and half miles below – but one man does. He's a former TV correspondent who was on the first submersible to visit the titanic wreckage when a mishap nearly killed everyone on board. He spoke with Les Trent. And after years of investigation, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to multiple charges today.

The Coast Guard has launched a rescue mission for a submarine that went missing during an expedition to the Titanic wreck. And when a houseboat capsized off the coast of Florida…it could have ended in disaster, if not for some very brave good Samaritans who jumped into the rough waters to rescue those trapped inside.

It's Donald Trump’s 77th birthday, and it comes just the day after he became the first president in history to face federal charges. Now we're learning there was a major drama right after he plead not guilty to mishandling classified documents. During a stop at a Miami sandwich stop a reporter yelled out a question Trump's supporters didn't like, so she ended up being dragged out of the restaurant. Steven Fabian has details. And the laws are supposed to apply to everyone, and when a sheriff's deputy spotted a local cop doing 80 miles an hour in a 45 mile an hour zone, he did what he'd do to any such driver - he pulled him over. That's when the fireworks started. Plus, here's a word you may have never heard before: touron. It's a tourist who acts like a moron. There are plenty of examples of them out there, but this guy has been such a fool, that Les Trent says there's now a manhunt to find him.

Donald Trump was escorted by motorcade to a Miami courthouse today where he became the first president in history to face federal charges - all in connection to allegations he mishandled highly sensitive documents. Police said they were ready for anything, and that included massive traffic jams, a bomb scare, and a gathering of trump supporters and detractors that turned out to be much smaller than expected. In addition, at one point Fox News reported former First Lady Melania Trump was at her husband's side... but it was a case of mistaken identity. As Ann Mercogliano reports, it's believed Mrs. Trump was more than a thousand miles away in New York where yesterday she was spotted having her hair done and going to the dentist. Plus, he nearly died trying to save his son and his niece in a rip tide. For weeks it was touch and go with former NFL player Peyton Hillis being put on a ventilator. Now, in his first TV interview since - he says there's no doubt in his mind, it's a miracle he's alive. And here hasn't been an incident in its more than 40-year history, and authorities are still trying to figure out why a tourist boat with 29 people on board capsized in an underground cave near the Erie Canal.

Two thirds of all Americans believe there are other life forms in the universe... and maybe that's why this has made social media go crazy.
