The string of accidents in july 4th parties. Gabe gutierrez has that this morning. Reporter chaos around the country on the fourth of july. Overnight in louisville kentucky a frantic search after boat hit a bridge and capsized in powerful currents on the ohio river. At least two people dead. Six pulled from the water with as many as three others believed missing. The water is very rapid. Were unable to put divers in the water due to the current, the speed of the current, so, you know i would say were continuing to search on the surface of the water. Out west in carlsbad california caught on camera. A small plane was forced to make an Emergency Landing on the beach as people scrambled. The plane flipping over when it hit the water. Amazingly no one was seriously hurt including the pilot. On the famous board walk in atlanta city new jersey a major fire forced firefighters into action. Four people were hurt in utah when a deck collapsed. None critically. In North Carolina a family had crowded on to a deck to take a holiday photograph when the structure gave away crashing ten feet to the ground. It happened around 7 00 last night. Neighbors rushed outside when they heard children screaming. I came around the corner and there was i was on the phone with 911. I just counted people on the ground and i counted up to 21 and i just said you need to get as many units as you can here. 14 people were hurt. One was air lifted to wilmington.

Womens soccer team prepares to face japan tonight for a chance at taking home the world cup for the First Time Since 1999. Gnat natalie is in vancouver with brianna scurry. Good to see you both this morning. Good morning good morning this of course will be the place to be a couple of hours from now. Team usa versus japan. The World Cup Final all eyes on the world will be watching this final match. This is a rematch from four long years ago. Four long years in the making for team usa, but this time theyre hoping to erase that painful loss with a world cup victory. With passions just being back in the final and i dont know just yeah. Im getting a little emotional. And focus at all time highs to the u. S. Womens National Team is one win away from raising the world cup. Soccers ultimate prize. Its going to take everybody giving just a little bit more. A little bit more of their body. A little bit more of their heart. A little bit more of their soul in order for us to bring home this trophy. Its the title theyve been chasing in vain since brandy booted them it to victory in 1999 and flashed the worlds most famous sports bra ever. Hope solo and a dominating defense allowed one goal ever. They booked their ticket to the final by knocking off germany in the semis. Locks up shoots and scores up until that game the u. S. Team faced criticism for looking out of sorts on the field. But against the germans, they hit on all cylinders. But standing in the way now is a familiar faux defending champions japan. They dashed u. S. Dreams four years ago in the last u. S. Cup final. And while this game is being played north of the border in canada its almost like a home game for the u. S. The american players say theyre ready to capture soccers biggest prize. I think our best is yet to come this final game and well be ready to go. Two teams, 90 minutes, one goal the worlds cup. And thats what it is all about. And hopefully ill be adding a third star to this jersey later on because the third star for the 91, 99, and were hoping 2015. Joining me now speaking a little history here in the sport and a legend on the field weve got brianna scurry here. You were the goal keeper the 1999 world cup winning game.

What are their chances against japan . Differenting champions and theyre great on the field. Japan has had a fantastic tournament i think the usa wants the revenge. Its right there. Theyve got the set up they wanted. Usa pro, usa crowd theyre going to do it today. I hope so i hope youre right im taking your word for it. Im confident. Talk to me about the players on the team. Abby the face of the team. The heart and soul. The worlds leading International Goal scorer. An incredible player. This time weve seen her take more of a leadership role. Shes on the bench a lot but how important is her leadership on the field . Even if shes not necessarily playing in the game . Abbys leadership has evolved. She hadnt had a ton of minutes. She gets the Team Together at halftime and does the cheers an they get out there and go after it. Abby has evolved. Shes showing what a true professional is like. Shes a team player who wants to win no matter what. Whether if shes playing scoring the goals or on the bench. I have to talk to you an incident on wednesday. We saw the head on collision between Morgan Bryant and alexander pop from germany. It was a scary moment with the injuries. Turns out they didnt have concussions, according to the officials. Its something you talk a lot about the injuries of concussions in this sport. Yes. What message do you want to tell people about that . And how important it is to be careful with this. A concussion ended my career. Im passionate about it. I do a lot of concussion awareness and speeches and engagements and whatnot. Talking to parents and families. The parents are concerned about big hits like that. I partnered with unequal. This is the halo here. This is what ally has been wearing. Because she had a concussion. She did. She had a concussion two months before it started. Shes been wearing this. Its a good protector for players. I partnered up with them. Were hoping to get the word out and start a movement. Its a very easy thing to put on. Like a head band. Yeah. Its lightweight. You put it on your head like this and looks cool and fashionable. And quick, score . What do you think . 21 usa. No overtime. Okay. Good im going with you on that. Thank you so much for being here. Well cheer usa usa thanks natalie. We like that score 21 no ot. You can catch the womens world cup tonight at 6 30 p. M.

Especially across the southeast. Its been raining for some tie m now. We have the area of low pressure that continues to produce scattered showers and storms through here. Right to atlanta but we also have the cold front back through the north dakota and south dakota area where well see a chance of stronger storms later on today. Unsettled in the southeast but heavier pockets of rain and thunderstorms through kentucky making their way into georgia. We could see some flash flooding just because of the amount of rain that has fallen recently and more rain in the forecast from charleston West Virginia to atlanta.

Donald trump was making waves again speaking out about the shooting death of a San Francisco woman allegedly by an illegal immigrant saying for he were president it wouldnt have happened. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Its a Huge Campaign weekend obviously the fourth of july. Donald trump was out on the stump but he was being talked about a lot by a number of candidates both past and present including jeb bush. I want to take a quick listen to what he had to say. Hes doing this to inflame and to incite and get to draw attention, which seems to be his organizing principle of this campaign. How does this play out in the end . Well, look for jeb bush i think some people will say he was a little slow to criticize trump, but now hes not been slow at all. Hes sort of increased the sound on his rhetoric against donald trump over the last few days. But trump is sticking with this because it is resonating short term. I think thats what we should be focussed on here. There is a chunk of the republican electorate. It is not the majority who would like to see a republican candidate be more antagonistic be more brash. The question is when trump flames out its never if its when. Where do the trump voters go . This morning on meet the press youll hear ted cruz who is not bashing trump. I think he would like to be the home for the voters going forward. It will be interesting to see how they vie for the votes. Hillary clinton spent the fourth campaigning. She was in new hampshire. Walked in a parade along with a rope that is getting a lot of attention. Her staffers say the rope is there so people can see her better. Kind of impossible to ignore the optics of this. To have your candidate roped off. Will it backfire . It does. The optics look terrible. Im sympathetic to the campaigns complaint. She has a large media Group Following her around it makes it hard because of the media for her to interact with voters. I think theres a fine line there. We as journalist when youre covering a candidate who is campaigning for the support of voters we should be there to cover the candidate campaigning with voters but i think how the Clinton Campaign went about doing this seemed to i think, backfire. This is sort of what head scratching to me erica, theyve done it for 25 years. How is is clinton not used to this . How do they not have a better plan . Chuck, thanks. Well check in later on meet the press. Ted cruz will be your guest this morning. To the english country side where crowds are building. Their hoping to catch a glimpse of Princess Charlotte as the royal family gathers for her kristin ingchristkristin kristining. Kelly is outside Buckingham Palace this morning. Hey, craig.

Turning to San Francisco with the random murder of a 32yearold woman has pulled back the curtain on the citys controversial policy when it comes to undocumented criminals. Its a bit of a tug of war between local and federal authorities. As Nbcs Joe Fryer discovered. Five times Francis Sanchez has been deported from the United States. Despite that hes accused of shooting and killing ging ging kate signly wednesday. It would have been better if e were gone and they would have done what they should have done. Absolutely. The suspect sanchez has a long criminal history which includes seven felony convictions. Four of them drug related. Earlier this year he was in the custody of immigration and Customs Enforcement or i. C. E. In march he was handed over to the San FranciscoSheriffs Department for an outstanding warrant possession and distribution of marijuana on march 27th the charges were dismissed. On april 15th sanchez was released. Immigration agents asked to be notified of the release but the Sheriffs Department didnt do that. As so called sanctuary city it doesnt enforce federal immigration holds. The city policy city law is very clear that we dont honor i. C. E. Detainers. Experts like julie meyerswood a former i. C. E. Director said there should be less politics and more cooperation between i. C. E. And local agencies especially in situations like the sanchez case. Donald trump under fire for his comments about immigrants tweeted his condolences to the family saying this tragic murder has taken place because of our unsafe border. As for her parents, they hope something good can come from this. If kates death saves other people in the city and i. C. E. And improve, you know, the system. But they say nothing will bring back their daughter. For today joe fryer nbc news los angeles. Lets take a turn now. The excitement building in Daytona Beach florida ahead of tonights coke zero 400 race here on nbc. Nascar is back. Our Kerry Sanders is there. Not as a fan but as a participant . Is that accurate .

And no anybody has seen me drive on interstate 95 can relax. I was not and will not behind the wheel of a car on the track here. But Bubba Wallace junior was kind enough to let me join his team. Even before that spectacular accident here last night, probably not going to be asked back. Thats Bubba Wallace in car number 6 at only 21 years old the alabama native is a rising star who is known to take calculated risks. Team on three which may explain why he let me join his pit crew. It all begins with a class. Dont take your eyes off that. Roll it to the wall. Youll catch it. Okay. My job . To grab the tires after the change and haul them over the wall. Come race time pressure you dont catch that tire well kill you. On lap 54 its go time. Instant replay from the pit crew camera. Down on the lower left corner. Thats me.

It is gforce. My hands are clenched. I dont want to see this. Oh goodness yeah. Lets call it a day. Yeah and i could definitely feel it. You may have noticed he was driving with one hand on the wheel at 130 Miles Per Hour. Later this evening theyll be doing about 205 maybe 215 Miles Per Hour out here. Both hands on the wheel. Now the controversy over the Confederate Flag is front and center here. The sport does have the roots in the south and, yes, there are people flying the Confederate Flag here even though theyve been offered the chance to swap it out for an American Flag if they want to. Bubba wallace junior who is africanamerican told me its what people believe in and we have our opinions about something. As i was going around the track at 130 Miles Per Hour if someone was waiving a Confederate Flag or any flag there was no way you could see it. Kerry sanders, thank you so much.

He shared his key on hahns success in the history of the Motion Picture business the number of beautiful women that are funny is impossible to find and telling goldie she was a hit because she didnt think she was beautiful. She said it first. She said i grew up feeling like an ugly duckling. I think there are a lots of beautiful funny women. Sandra bullock. People get upset about things. Im not that upset about it. Dylan drier is his tier call. You should know that. Were a funny pair. You are a funny pair. Its a meeting of the mutual aberrations society. Good morning.

Now the best selling spirit in this country. Its seen a big boom especially along kentuckys famous bourbon trail. Leading the charge of that boom in many cases, are women. So also a great excuse to take a road trip and sample some of that success for ourselves. Across the bluegrass state brown reigns supreme. There are more bourbon barrels ageing than there are people living. The birthplace of american native spirit makes 95 of the worlds supply. Popularity continues to grow on the screen and in the bars. Especially with women. I think women are trying to get away from the little pink drink and getting more interested in what theyre drinking. Smooth and its happy. Order a high proof bourbon and the bartender automatically has a lot of respect for you. Maryann barnes knows a few things about surprising people. At 28 shes not only one of the youngest bourbon master distillers but the first woman in nearly a 100 years. Theres not a lot of master distillers looking like this. Hand selected to develop a new bourbon maryann is modelling her blend on a sample made here in 1917. As youre thinking about the bourbon youre going to produce, do you approach it differently, you think, as a woman . Woman its a scientific fact have a better sense of taste. So i think that i can nuance the spirit and, you know, develop recipes with a complexity that maybe some folks cant. As more women gather to share the experience the state is seeing an up tick in visitors. Nearly 3 4 of a Million People from all 50 states have already visited kentuckys bourbon trail this year. A trend a distillers hope will one day put the region on par with californias famed napa valley. It may be the women who lead that charge. Im a public face for what is going on in the industry. I would love to inspire other women to come in and open doors for them. So here is a thing. As she was saying she has an in tuned palate. She can identify 200 different flavors in a glass. You sniff it a little bit like wine. Dylan has work to do only 95. The other thing as a kid she was picky and a lot of times people were picky as children. Because they have a heightened palate.
