travel schedule, and what it's like to be playing in the so-called "group of death." and show me money. the mad dash to find hidden cash spreads across the country, and it's even going global. the frenzy, the clues and the way people are paying it forward. good morning, everybody. bianna and sara are off this weekend. we're very happy to have rebecca jarvis and rachel smith with us. classes up the desk on a sunday morning. we want to wish a very happy father's day. we asked you to send us your favorite father's day pictures. we got a great response for all of you, including a special entry, there's ron claiborne, and his dad, earl. >> he passed away, it's coming up on 20 years.
8:02 am
i miss him every day, really. a great guy. >> well, if he raised you, he's definitely a great guy. >> thinking of earl and all of the dads out there. and we have a special edition of our "gma" mom testers segment, in honor of those dads, this time it's the dads putting those as seen on tv through the paces. including the bacon bowl. >> i find the idea extremely compelling. we're going to start here with a parental nightmare, three kids at a father's day weekend parade, catching fire at a mishap involving a cannon. and mara schiavocampo is on the scene. >> reporter: good morning. almost the unthinkable. those in the crowd rushing to help. that terrible accident happened at the beginning of the parade. the children were marching with the explosion turned the celebration into chaos.
8:03 am
overnight, three kids hurt in a cannon explosion during an historical re-enactment parade. pandemonium erupting after the explosion. reportedly burning the three 10-year-olds. watch as people rushed to help them. >> we saw people start to yell, stop, drop and roll. and you could see the kids off to the side, on fire, there were three of them, they were actually on fire. >> reporter: according to the police department, the children were part of a group of civil war re-enactors who were in the parade. after the group fired the cannon, a spark landed in the pouches. the pouch blew up creating this shocking scene. the children, two 10-year-old boys and one 10-year-old girl, were treated at the scene and then taken to a nearby hospital. while their exact conditions are unknown, all three were stable when taken away by ambulance.
8:04 am
now after the ambulance took the children away, the parade did continue. we're still waiting on further details on how the children are doing this morning. we certainly wish them the best. terrible accident. >> absolutely. thanks, mara. >> thank you. now, we want to turn to the mile high madness on board a flight from las vegas to new york. diverted to detroit. abc's linzie janis has the very latest on what happened. good morning to you, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. we're told that the passenger lost it, about 90 minutes into the flight, yelling at family members and at crew and scaring everyone onboard. overnight, passengers are thankful to have escaped this horrific scene. an agitated man, who onlookers say, woke up in the middle of the flight and lashed out. >> all of a sudden, this guy who was sleeping, woke up out of
8:05 am
nowhere and started yelling. >> reporter: then lunging at the flight attendant trying to calm him down. listen, again, you can hear the man's daughter pleading with him to stop. >> dad, dad! >> reporter: passengers watching and listening, fearing for their safety. >> everyone was freaking out. >> i was a little nervous. i wasn't sure what the guy was actually trying to do. >> reporter: the flight attendants taking control, handcuffing the man and then pinning him down to the seat. >> they were really good. they subdued him very fast. >> reporter: jetblue said the captain diverted the plane to detroit out of an abundance of caution. all onboard were forced to leave the plane, while authorities removed the unruly passenger. after two hours, he was off the plane and they were back in the air to las vegas. >> it's nerve-wracking. because it seems to be happening more and more. >> reporter: reported incidents of unruly behavior are up 57% worldwide since last year.
8:06 am
this flight had police waiting for the passenger at the gate in atlanta. this drunk air traveler was so violent, fellow passengers duct taped him to his seat. >> somebody who goes to berserk, you don't know what's behind it. >> now, it's not known what caused this man on that flight to freak out. but we were told that detroit authorities took him to a local hospital, but this problem is becoming so big that airlines are considering charging unruly passengers up to $200,000 for diverted flights. dan? >> makes sense on a lot of levels. you're about to see a social media launched by blood-thirsty insurgents taken over huge swaths of iraq. they're parentally documenting their own atrocities.
8:07 am
as president obama weighs on whether to intervene. our coverage begins with terry moran on the ground. >> reporter: good morning, dan. the battle for iraq is changing today. that advance by the jihadist has slowed down, the iraqi forces are finally fighting back. they have retaken some territory around baghdad. but the iraqi government is still pleading for the u.s. to help and the situation remains desperate. this is the view from the iraqi soldiers' perspective, a video posted online unverifiable, showing iraqi forces engaged in a fierce firefight earlier this week. if they lose, they face unspeakable horror and they know it. the jihadists of the islamic state of iraq and syria, known as the isis, used social media as a weapon, a terror weapon, these images posted last night on a twitter account reliably linked to isis
8:08 am
but unverifiable, shows iraqi civilians taken by prisoners, packed into trucks and mercilessly executed. isis claims they boast they executed 1,007 men like this. the leader of isis was in u.s. custody in iraq for four years, when he was released in 2009, his parting words to u.s. troops, "i'll see you in new york." the u.s. has sent the aircraft carrier into the persian gulf, in case president obama decides to take military action here to protect american lives. and one more development in these fast-moving events, iran's leaders have said they are willing to work with the united states, the great state in their view, in order to fight isis. u.s. officials say there have been no contacts between u.s. and iran, yet. dan. >> giving new meaning to the old cliche the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
8:09 am
terry moran, thank you. president obama's national security team is meeting throughout this weekend, trying to figure out how to respond. a short while ago, i spoke with abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. good morning, we know that the president has ruled out sending in american ground troops, what are the options are on the table? and how quickly can they move here? >> the president personally approved of the movement of the aircraft carrier into the persian gulf. that is happening now, the president is looking at a possible range of air strikes, manned and unmanned air strikes over iraq. but i've got to tell you, dan, the president put a serious condition on it, before any u.s. military action, the iraqi government, president malaki, has to put together a plan to solve the political problems that led to this crisis in the first place. they see zero indication that he's moving in that direction. >> he doesn't have any history
8:10 am
of reaching out to other groups. the republicans are loudly criticizing the obama administration for pulling out too quickly, back in 2011, are there any voices in the administration who are saying, well, maybe the republicans are right about that? >> they're defensive about this. they say two things. they say, one, having a small residual force left in iraq would not have made a difference, would not have prevented this situation, but they also make the point that it was the iraqis that pulled away from that agreement. the obama administration tried to negotiate an agreement that would have left some forces behind for training and security. and it was the iraqis that said no. so, in other words, it didn't make much of a difference and it wasn't our fault. >> jon karl, thank you. jon will have much more on this crisis when he hosts "this week" later this morning, including a live report from abc's martha raddatz who has just arrived in baghdad. and there was a lot of other news overnight.
8:11 am
and for that, as always, we turn it over to earl claiborne's son, ron claiborne. good morning, everyone. we begin where israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the militant palestinian group hamas is behind the kidnappings of three teenagers. they were reportedly hitchhiking thursday night when they disappeared. including one american. a new social media campaign has been launched, called bring back our boys, calling for the safe return of those teenagers. back in this country, the trains are rolling again in philadelphia area, after president obama intervened to end a rail workers' strike. the president signing an order to resolve the dispute between the philadelphia transit authority agency and labor workers. they'll work through the entire negotiation process. and in california, hundreds of people have been evacuated because of a fast-moving
8:12 am
wildfire near bakersfield, the fire has scorched more than 800 acres. it's just 5% contained. fire officials say no structures are currently in danger, but people have been ordered to stay away because of potential health risks from the smoke. and hillary clinton got a supreme surprise during her book signing at a costco in virginia, supreme court justice sonia sotomayor was shopping at that costco. when they stumbled on to the signing event. they greeted one another. then the justice grabbed a copy of clinton's new book "hard choices." we believe she paid for it. meanwhile, pippa middleton is on a biking trek across the u.s., pippa is joining an eight-person relay in the race across america, the grueling race stretches 3,000 miles, from california to annapolis, maryland. pippa is expected to pedal at least 300 miles during the nine-day relay.

8:15 am
their coach doubts their chances this year. >> for us, now, talking about winning a world cup, it's just not realistic. >> reporter: but don't tell that to the fans of the stars and stripes. >> usa, usa! >> reporter: of team usa's 23-man roster, 18 will be making their world cup debut. one of those newbies, graham zusi. >> we're always that team who overachieves at times. it's always that storybook finish from us that makes people believe. >> reporter: and they believe they can beat ghana on monday, a team that knocked them out in 2006 and in 2010. if they don't beat ghana, game over? >> i think so. because you have to come up against portugal and then obviously against germany. if it's down to germany that third game, germans are very good. >> reporter: their traveling nearly 9,000 miles back and

8:17 am

8:18 am
and then behind the scenes, he's actually reinforcing his players. just to clarify, he said winning the world cup this year may not be realistic, but we can do it if we play the best seven games of our life. and that's really all we need team usa to put it on the lines. >> thank you so much, paula, can't wait to watch that game. hope you actually you're enjoying things behind the scenes. and by the way, the big match, the big opening one for team usa, against ghana, is tomorrow, 5:30 p.m. eastern, on espn. there's a tripleheader of world cup action. it starts at 11:30 a.m. this morning right here on abc. and this morning, we're going to take inside a big batch of pay it forward fever. remember that guy who started hiding cash in california. one of our own abc news interns cracked the clues and found this envelope here in new york city,
