Derailment evacuation

As many as 5,000 people were ordered to evacuate early today after one to three freight train cars carrying a highly flammable and toxic substance derailed in Maryville, Tennessee, outside Knoxville, and one of the cars caught fire, authorities told CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano.

Shark attacks

A shark bit a 68-year-old man several times yesterday in waist-deep water off North Carolina's Outer Banks, officials said, the seventh in a record-breaking year of shark attacks in the state's coastal waters. Shark attacks off North Carolina are rare -- they typically see less than 1 incident per year -- so the 7 over the last few weeks have experts worried, reports CBS News correspondent Don Dahler.

Automated pilot

The Air Force is 520 pilots short of requirements this year due to budget cuts and a hiring spree by airlines, but "CBS This Morning" gave viewers a look at new technology that could one day help solve that shortfall and perhaps save lives, reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave.

Fintech

Global financial institutions may be too big to fail, but they may not be too big to disrupt. Banking, investing, real estate, credit-card payments and insurance all face tech-driven forces that threaten business as usual.

Campaign costs

Donald Trump is both a billionaire businessman and a Republican candidate for the presidency in 2016. But what happens when the interests of the latter role are pitted against those of the former? It wouldn't be the first time. Trump is discovering that his two pursuits are more at odds than he may have expected, given the recent parade of businesses that are severing their commercial ties to Trump in response to the candidate's recent remarks about Mexican immigrants.

Healthier movie theaters

Some movie theaters hope you'll notice a plot twist at the snack bar. CBS News correspondent Vinita Nair reports on entrepreneurs like Ron Law who are hoping the healthy snack he developed will make its way to a theater near you.

Wine sisters

Breaking into the wine business isn't easy, especially if you're a woman or a minority. But, CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller reports, half-sisters Andrea and Robin McBride did just that after uncorking a crucial part of their past.
