Inside Edition

Another aviation scare... this time in Chicago where a midway jet aborted a landing when the pilot spotted another aircraft about to cross the runway in front of him. It's just the latest in a string of aviation dramas this year. And an unusual request from accused healthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione. Don’t send so many pictures. Apparently, the accused killer, who has pled not guilty, is being inundated with letters, gifts, and photos. Now, his legal team wants to put a limit on it. Plus, a horrific hit and run and cops say an Amazon driver is to blame. A woman was struck by the delivery truck and then nearby doorbell cameras show the driver getting out looking at the woman on the ground screaming and then leaving the scene. And the gold in Fort Knox is present and accounted for. That's the word from the U.S. treasury secretary. But that hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from speculating for years that the gold is gone... replaced with fakes and now even President Trump's been mentioning it.

Last night Jane Fonda received a lifetime achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The 87-year-old actress used the opportunity to deliver a politically charged speech. She didn't mention President Trump by name, but it was very clear who she was talking about. And thousands of federal workers are out of a job today and word is, more firings are to come. Some found out they had no job when they could no longer access their email. That's not the way to let an employee go. Plus, staff at a hospital in Pennsylvania are still reeling after a weekend shooting in the intensive care unit that left one police officer dead, and several hospital workers injured. The suspect - who was killed in the shootout - had recently lost a family member in the unit. And egg prices are expected to jump 20% this year, so people are going to great lengths to get them. Forget about buying a dozen at the local supermarket, some are buying eggs in what's called "loosie" style - three in a bag.

If you saw this past weekend's Saturday Night Live anniversary special, you may have noticed how tightly packed the studio was. Now Steve Martins says least two of the big stars tested positive for Covid-19. A skit during the show actually joked about the possibility. And there hasn't been a hockey game so political since the U.S. faced off against the Soviet Union in the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” Last night's match up between the U.S. and Canada was preceded by plenty of bluster by President Trump - and though it was a close one, in the end, Canada won. And that's given Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plenty of ammo to fire back at Mr. Trump. Plus, Elon Musk was seen swinging a giant chainsaw at the CPAC Convention. His dramatic appearance comes as the mother of three of his children is desperately trying to get his attention. She says he's not responding to her texts or emails - so now she's resorting to social media. And scores of people lined up outside a Manhattan court today for a seat inside court for an appearance by suspected HealthCare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione. And inside there were cheers for Mangione’s lawyers. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

She's a world class tennis star who's tough as nails on the court, but Emma Raducanu broke down in tears. Not because of a bad game, but because in the stands, she spotted a man she says is stalking her. She was so unnerved she tried to hide behind the umpire's chair. And an unbelievable situation when a woman leaving a restaurant is confronted by a man with a gun. He fires but misses and what ensues is a cat and mouse chase that ends in the woman's death. Authorities believe the killing was a murder for hire. Plus, it's U.S. versus Canada in tonight's big hockey championship match and President Trump is using the event to continue goading Canada - saying it should become the US' 51st state. And officials say it will be Monday before things are back to normal at the Toronto airport in the wake of Monday’s jet crash that left the plane upside down and travelers have had it with delays.

Not guilty. That was the verdict --as a jury acquitted rapper Asap Rocky of felony gun charges that could have landed him in jail for more than 20 years. When the jury announced their decision, a joyful Rocky jumped over the courtroom rail and into the arms of his partner, singer Rihanna. And an Arizona woman is grateful to be alive today, after she was hit from behind by a cement truck and trapped inside her vehicle as it caught fire. Fortunately, two good Samaritans stopped. Incredibly one of them was an off duty firefighter who happened to have his gear with him. Plus, when that Delta jet flipped on landing in Toronto the other day - it was a combination of safety protocols and luck that no one died. But once passengers escaped the burning plane, there was a new concern: the bitter cold! Taking a cue from penguins, they huddled together - and it worked. And he is a huge supporter of the Democratic party and now he has words of encouragement for President Trump. Actor George Clooney is wishing the president well. He was on Steven Colbert's show last night, saying even if you didn't support the candidate who won - this is democracy.

The investigation continues into yesterday's plane crash in Toronto in which a Delta jet somehow flipped onto its roof after landing on an icy and windy runway. Incredibly all 80 passengers and the crew got out alive, thanks in no small part to some heroes on board. A number of passengers stepped up and worked with the flight crew to get everyone out safely. We've told you about break-ins at the homes of athletes while they're at games. Now it's happened to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban while they were in Las Vegas for Keith's concert residency. The couple has multiple homes, but the burglary happened at their house in California. Plus, the Stanley Cup is the top prize in hockey. It is also the name of a wildly popular -- and pretty expensive - insulated drinking mug. And it's no surprise the drinking cups have become a target of thieves. And three and a half years ago, America was obsessed with the disappearance of Gabby Petito, the young woman who was murdered by her boyfriend while out on a road trip. Now, a new Netflix documentary reveals right before her death Gabby had reached out to her ex-boyfriend for help.

Severe winter weather is causing chaos at airports and this Delta plane with 80 people on board ended up flipping upside down after coming in for a landing on an icy runway. Inside the cabin, passengers strapped in with their seatbelts, were left dangling. Incredibly, there were no fatalities. And, it is now believed Elon Musk has 13 children with four women. After keeping her pregnancy secret, a 26-year-old conservative influencer announced Musk fathered her five-month-old child before, she says, tabloid media announced it.

The second part of the one-two punch has hit the Los Angeles area. After last month’s devastating wildfires, residents are now being pummeled by torrential rains -- sparking mudslides, inundating roads and even sweeping vehicles into the Pacific Ocean. The rains and the resulting destruction were expected. And when President Trump returned to the oval office, he did some decorating, as most presidents do. But no commander in chief has ever had a mug shot to hang right outside the oval office. Plus, troubling development in the case of the sports reporter found dead in his hotel room during the Super Bowl. A New Orleans woman police say was using the victims credit card was previously arrested three years ago in a similar case in which a victim was drugged and robbed. That man was outraged the culprit wasn't put behind bars in his case. And an 87-year-old widower who didn't want to just sit home alone decided to throw a winter party. But instead of posting an invitation online, he went door to door in his neighborhood and all he asked was for folks to bring a smile.

Hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in the world -- killing about 500 people a year. Now an American woman is one of those statistics. She was on safari with her husband, standing by a river when a hippo charged and attacked her. Now her husband is suing the tour company. The tour company tells us that the couple was accompanied by an experienced professional guide and that all safety measures had been implemented both before and during the attack. And he never attended a Kennedy Center event the first time he was president, but now that he's back in the white house, Donald Trump has named himself chairman of the organization. And -- he's fired the person who's been running it and stacked the board with people loyal to him. Plus, it's happening around the country… owners and dealers of the Tesla cybertruck are finding their vehicles vandalized. Some speculate it has to do with Elon Musk's high profile around President Trump. And when our reporter Alison Hall was out covering a story 'on' breast cancer, she found out she 'had' breast cancer.

For the very first time we are seeing Wendy Williams inside the assisted care facility where she's being housed. The former talk show host is speaking out in an interview shot through her high-rise window. She says she's prevented from leaving the facility and now 'wants her life back.' And a changing landscape in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia. President Trump says he spoke directly with Vladimir Putin, the first conversation between the leaders of the two nations since before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The conversation comes on the heels of the release of a prisoner exchange. Even President Trump says the newly freed American has his mother to thank for it. Plus, Elon Musk has 12 children by three different women - and one of those kids has been a constant presence during his father's time as President Trump’s advisor - even sitting on dad's shoulders yesterday in the Oval Office. Musk has been accused on social media of using his four year old as a prop - and the boy's mother doesn’t approve either.

And among the unhappy is Travis Kelce, who says 'he's kicking himself.'

With spring break approaching this is not the kind of news you want to hear. Two friends on vacation in the Bahamas were out on a boat when they decided to jump in the beautiful blue water and suddenly a bull shark went on the attack. And, stunning words on the house floor from Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace. For nearly an hour she spoke out - accusing four successful businessmen, including her ex-fiancé, of being sexual predators. They all deny any wrongdoing.

Yes, even with no farming experience, they say its way cheaper to have chicken lay a dozen eggs at home than buy them at the supermarket.

Super Bowl 59 is in the history books with the Eagles winning their second Vince Lombardi Trophy in what, for a while, was a total blowout.

And among the many celebrities was Taylor Swift who publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president. And Kendrick Lamar did the halftime show... the first time a solo rapper has headlined, and it's sparked plenty of commentary. But one moment no one saw coming was when tennis great Serena Williams popped up as a dancer.

Did he get away with murder? That's the question being asked about a 17-year-old after he was acquitted in the murder of his mother. That court decision came after he'd already killed his father, police say, in self-defense. And every year before the Super Bowl the NFL holds an award show and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who's 72, showed up with his 24-year-old girlfriend who had a Super Bowl ring on her finger. Is she engaged? Or did Belichick just run out of fingers? Plus, he's on tap to become the President's point man on health matters in the U.S., so when RFK Jr. mixes something into his drink, people pay attention. And plenty of folks are wondering what was in the little bottle he uncorked during a flight. And Sunday's Super Bowl comes less than six weeks after 14 people were killed in New Orleans when a pickup truck drove into the New Year’s Eve crowd. Though most of New Orleans is celebrating the Super Bowl, for the victims’ families -- that's hard to do. One victim actually worked at the Superdome with his father who will now be watching the game without him.

Lots of tears on Kelly Ripa's show today as she shared news that her beloved dog that appeared regularly on her show has passed away. Ripa says for the last 17 years the Shih Tzu named Chewie was an amazing companion to her family and losing her has been beyond tough. And President Trump's comments that he wants to take over war torn Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” caused lots of mouths to drop around the world.

Last night in New Orleans, members of both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles met the press for the traditional Q & A - and one question for Travis Kelce stood out. Might he be considering a half time show of his own? He was asked if he was planning to propose at halftime to Taylor Swift. And there's still talk from Sunday’s big event - the Grammys. Kanye West's red carpet stunt got plenty of attention, with his wife revealing her basically nude body in a sheer dress. The talk is this: Is she ok? Plus, officials in Miami Beach are sending a message loud and clear to spring breakers - you are still not welcome here. They want college kids to know that Miami Beach will have curfews, DUI enforcement and a heavy police presence. Will it make a difference?

It was a history making night at the Grammy's last night with Beyonce not only now the holder of more Grammy awards than anyone ever, she also 'finally' won album of the year - along with becoming the first black woman to win a Grammy for country album of the year. And last week was a terrible week for aviation. First was the deadly crash outside Reagan National Airport in D.C. - followed by the crash of the medical jet in Philly Friday night and just yesterday passengers in Houston had to make an emergency exit after the wing caught fire.

Overcrowded and understaffed-- that's what critics say has been the state of affairs at Washington’s Reagan National Airport -- and Wednesday night it turned deadly. But in the wake of the tragic crash between an army chopper and that American Airlines jet, we've learned of a number of near misses between helicopters and planes. And for family members of those lost, the grief is only beginning to set in.

Recovery teams have spent the day in the frigid waters outside Reagan National Airport, engaged in the grim activity of retrieving the 67 victims of last night's deadly collision between an army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane. Among the victims, figure skaters returning from a training camp in Kansas. And according to The New York Times, a preliminary investigation into the crash shows the air traffic control tower was understaffed. The report says the controller handling helicopters was also directing commercial planes, jobs usually assigned to two separate people. Plus, the Blackhawk helicopter involved in the crash is known as the workhorse of the military. Powered by two turbine engines, it can climb 19-thousand feet and lift more than nine thousand pounds. Now, it's at the center of the first major crisis for the new Trump administration. And the crash was similar to the crash back in 1982 - when an Air Florida jet crashed into the Potomac in the middle of a very snowy day in January when the jet, weighed down by ice, couldn't get airborne and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge.

Hammer throws are a regular event at track and field competitions - where athletes spin and release a metal ball attached to a steel wire. Now it's lead to tragedy when the ball went over the barrier and hit a dad in the stands. As Les Trent reports, he was killed while shielding his wife and son.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated the Chiefs going to the Super Bowl with a smooch right on the field. When the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in two weeks, Swifties now have extra reason to tune in, guaranteeing a ratings bonanza on Super Bowl Sunday. And what would Valentines Day be without roses? Well, that almost happened - thanks to a threatened trade war between the U.S. and Colombia, the South American country where the majority of our premium roses come from. However, after President Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Colombia, the crisis may now be averted. Plus, there are lots of celebrations in Los Angeles over the sky opening up and delivering a downpour of rain - ending an eight month long dry spell that has been a disaster for firefighters.

On his first official trip since returning to the White House, President Trump, along with First Lady Melania, headed to hurricane ravaged North Carolina and to Los Angeles to see the devastation of the wildfires first hand. The Trumps dressed appropriately for disaster zones, the president wore special boots while Melania wore a green parka jacket. And here's something else the president saw today - encampments in North Carolina filled with Americans now living in RVs and tents after losing their homes last September when Hurricane Helene struck. With record freezing temperatures hitting the state, they say they are freezing and need help. They also say they feel abandoned. Plus, for the people of Southern California, rain is finally expected in the forecast for the weekend.

The historic deep freeze along the Gulf Coast is causing total chaos out on the roads. A big problem is drivers not being used to snow and black ice. On one stretch of highway, troopers responded to more than 100 accidents. And all the collisions have also led to massive traffic jams with some stuck in their cars for 15 hours. And from ice to fire, as two new blazes break out in Los Angeles where high winds and low humidity are making things extra challenging today for firefighters.

President Trump is demanding an apology from the bishop who counseled him to "have mercy" on migrants and other groups targeted by the new administration. At 1:00AM the president took to social media and in a lengthy post he called the bishop's comments nasty and inappropriate. Now, the bishop is taking to the airwaves with her response. And it's an inauguration ball tradition: members of the military cutting in to dance with the president and vice president and their spouses. But how do they decide who gets the honor? Ann Mercogliano spoke exclusively with the sergeant who was chosen to dance with the first lady. Plus, polar vortex, Siberian express, whatever you want to call it - it's cold pretty much everywhere. In Florida and the Gulf Coast, here's a word you don’t get to use very much: snow! And at a time when weather is the lead story, scores of TV meteorologists are out of a job. One hundred of them who work for the same station group were all fired yesterday to be replaced by forecasters from the weather channel.

The second presidency of Donald Trump ended its first night in a wave of glamour. The president and first lady attended three inaugural balls and there was this charming moment when members of the military cut in to dance with them. And, candidate Trump promised immediate change if elected - and today he made good on that with more than 1,000 Biden era appointees being shown the door. Plus, in his first hours as president, Trump also made good on his pledge to release those convicted of crimes connected with the January 6th Capitol riot. Outside the Washington jail where many are being held, it was a celebratory scene. And, with the cold wave that's gripping so much of the country, there are plenty of warnings about avoiding frostbite by covering exposed skin outside. There's also a risk for exposed skin indoors. As more and more people turn to space heaters to keep warm, doctors are seeing more and more of what's called "toasted skin."

Donald Trump was sworn in as our 47th president, pledging to put America first every day he is in office. For the first time in four decades, the inauguration was indoors. President Trump says he made the call because of the frigid temperatures, and while it may have been much smaller in scale, the majesty of the Capitol Rotunda made up for it. And due to the freezing weather the president and first lady will attend an indoor rally instead of the traditional parade, and tonight they will dance at a number of inaugural balls. It all started off with the big “make America great again” victory rally featuring the president-elect and the Village People whose song, "YMCA" has been Trump's theme song on the campaign trail. Plus, President Trump promised a host of actions immediately after taking office - on immigration, closing the border with Mexico, and renaming the body of water to the west of Florida. Trump wants to call it “The Gulf of America.” And at least 15,000 structures have been destroyed in the LA fires, and today we're learning among the buildings that went up in flames are some banks where Jim Moret reports it seems the safe deposit boxes aren't always so safe.

American tourists vacationing in the Caribbean looked up and saw something incredible - colorful streams of fire flying through the sky. Some even wondered if it was an alien invasion. Turns out it was debris from Elon Musk's failed Space X launch falling to Earth. And, when you think of inauguration day you think of a new president being sworn in in front of a massive crowd sprawled across the national lawn, but this year is going to look a lot different. With predictions it will be the coldest inauguration in 40 years, the ceremony is moving indoors. Plus, CNN’s Jim Acosta, who has been a vocal critic of President-elect Trump, is being moved from reporting the news early in the day to the graveyard shift and as Les Trent reports, some are asking if it has something to do with this microphone tug of war during the last Trump administration? And with multimillion dollar homes in Malibu turned to ashes, some are thankful their homes are still standing. But when they return, with all the soot and toxic fumes in the air, is it safe?

Wendy Williams is on a media blitz. The former TV personality, who was declared permanently disabled by her court appointed guardian, wants the world to know she feels like she's in prison. She's currently in a New York City facility where she says she's not free to come and go or receive telephone calls.
