3:00 pm
hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. it's time for videos first, "right this minute." disturbing video of a pit bull with a french poodle. >> in his very powerful jaws. >> oh! >> see why this story has a miraculous ending. look closely at this video. what is in the bushes? >> is that mowgli from the jungle boy? >> whatever it is, it's naked. a dude chases down ticks with a crazy pickup line. gayle, i want to know if you fall for it. >> smell my pits. >> no. >> you'll see if prince charming scores with any of the ladies. and if you're finally going to take the bungee plunge. >> go big. >> how big? >> find out how big is big enough. >> oh, wow. we're going to get today's
3:01 pm
show started with our top video and the story behind it and nick has both. >> dog lovers, this next one is a little hard to watch but it's not as bad as it looks. this happened in elmhurst, new york. a pit bull has a small french poodle in his very powerful jaws. >> oh, my goodness. what do you do? how do you get this dog off? >> exactly. they're trying everything. they're pulling on the scruff of his neck. they're kicking, they're smacking the pit bull. yeah, the pit bull does shake this small dog a couple of times. >> he's trying to kill this dog for sure. >> and pit bulls, once they get ahold of something, that's what they're known for. >> the pounds of force in their mouth is eveincredible. >> eventually the pit does release the poodle. as hard as that is to watch, the poodle is okay. he had some minor injuries, believe it or not, just minor injuries, but the poodle is okay. this woman in the dark t-shirt
3:02 pm
is claiming that the pit bull owner let her dog off the leash. people around are also saying that this is the second time that the pit bull has attacked another dog in the neighborhood. >> oh, my gosh. i had a pit bull mix. i always kept him on a leash. people are fearful of pit bulls because of videos like this. >> and that's the main reason i show this video is to realert everybody out there. the importance of keeping all dogs on the leash. even the french poodle should have been on a leash. >> especially in a city like this. the sidewalks, people are walking their dogs all day long every day. >> you see the dog being cradled by some people. he seems to be a little disoriented, a little scared. but at no point during this five-minute video did i ever see any blood or anything. tell me what you think is right there in the middle of all those bushes. >> a swamp? >> swamp? >> a creek? >> what is in the bushes? >> in the bushes?
3:03 pm
>> not what you're looking at, what is in the bushes. >> that looks like a naked person. >> is that mowgli from the jungle boy? >> great guess. it is a naked person. this 51-year-old man was stranded after a six-mile hike with his darks og, ozzie. he got really tired, so he took out his raft from his backpack and started floating downstream but the raft flipped so he and his puppy fell in the water. they ended up being stranded on this island on green river and washington, and they had to spend the night there alone in the darkness and completely naked. >> so why the naked, though? why did the clothes have to come off? >> excellent question. he took his clothes off on purpose because he was afraid that if he didn't, he'd suffer hypothermia. >> his clothes got wet from being in the river so he took them off to dry off.
3:04 pm
that's a catch-22 there. >> they ended up finding him the next day. some workers heard him screaming and they figured out he needed help. rescue workers came, they helped him out. he was taken to the hospital, treated, warmed because he was so cold and then released. he's totally fine and so is ozzie. i want you to take a look at this video, specifically the man in the blue shirt and jeans in this video. san francisco police are looking for him. there he is. that's him on one video. he's seen walking down the street. watch what happens when he enters this alley, he sees this furniture there. >> he's going to pee in the drawers it looks like. is that what he's doing? >> he does urinate up against the wall, but he also does something else, and the arson detail is now looking for this guy. he decides, you know what, i'm going to start a fire. >> it's like he's committing his crime in a hollywood studio set with all the camera angles they
3:05 pm
have got of him. >> so there he is starting the fire. he comes back with newspaper. more combustibles to get this thing going. >> he wasn't satisfied with his first attempt because it didn't take off. >> do you know what type of buildings or businesses this is next to that he could have burned down? >> i believe these were homes because there was a resident manager in the area. he came down with a bucket and some gloves and was able to put it out before the fire department came. there is clear video of what this guy looks like and what he did. the property owners said, look, we need to post this video so we can figureut who this guy is and stop. >> it notng alley in the middle of the night. this guy proved it. >> yeah. days of torrential rainfall in taiwan have led to images like this. a bridge completely overtaken by
3:06 pm
these raging waters. people have died. there's been landslides, traffic has been disrupted, as you can imagine. military personnel are on hand evacuating people from low-lying areas. to me, it's amazing that bridge is still standing. >> that's what i was expecting, i thought you were going to tell me that bridge got washed away. >> ferries take people from the eastern part of taiwan to green island. those ferries have been cancelled and now there's like 850 tourists stranded on green island. i don't know if this is off a trail or walkway. it looks like a path people use, just completely swamped with water, with fast-running water too. >> i wouldn't trust this. i mean even if it is shallow water, the strength it's obviously carrying could topple someone over quickly. >> according to the china post, they suffered some severe agricultural losses near taiwan, something like $172 million in new taiwan dollars equals out to
3:07 pm
$5.7 u.s. dollars. >> this has to be terrifying for the citizens and even more terrifying for the tourists who are trapped. this man just robbed the place where he used to work. >> he thought, oh, this is going to be an easy heist. >> he ended up with 200 to 300 bucks in cash, but the craziest thing isn't what he took, it's where he took it from. >> wow! and leave it to natgeo to find a bat with a big ole tongue. >> i think gene simmons will be really jealous of this one. >> so just how long is it? find out, "right this minute."
3:08 pm
3:09 pm
i think this might be the most brazen accused criminal ever. we got this story from wpxi. take a look at this surveillance video, tell me what you think.
3:10 pm
>> a guy breaking into a place. >> it's actually a guy walking out of a place with, according to police, a big bag of cash. but the crazy thing is, he's walking out of the carnegie police station. >> did he go in the confiscation room and take some stuff? >> according to reports, this guy used to be the cleaning guy at the police station and no one at the police station realized that he quit like a month ago. so this guy walks into the back door of the police station, punches in the secret code that he knows and with a screwdriver pries open a drawer that contains cash from paid parking tickets. >> wow. >> he ended up with 200 to 300 bucks in cash. now, the crazy thing is, i guess his conscience got the best of him because he ended up turning himself in. so now he's been arrested. he was arrested on tuesday. 20-year-old logan schwab. >> he's 20 years old, he's a
3:11 pm
mixed up kid, he just doesn't know. he thought this is going to be an easy heist, now i feel bad about it, i did work there, i'll turn myself in. i think they'll probably do a thorough background check on their next cleaning person. i think gene simmons will be really jealous of this one. this video aired as part of national geographic's untamed america's documentary series. >> does this flower have a tongue? >> the mammal that pollinates it does. >> the fruit bat? >> this is not the fruit bat. this is the tube-lipped nectar bat and it's the only bat that can pollinate this particular flower, but this bat is basically 2 inches long and its tongue is one and a half times longer than its body. >> so if it were human? >> it would have a three meter tongue. >> from the outside you can see the shadow of that long tongue dipping down into the nectar.
3:12 pm
>> and you can also see it from inside the flower. i mean it's a very thin, slender, very long tongue. goes all the way down into the flower. it has these parts that act as a mop that sucks up the nectar and it eats it. >> how the heck do they get this stuff? >> this is the first time we've seen this exact bat on tv. they netted ts bat andhen theree bat in a tent with a flower and basically just let it run around but set up cameras so when he did finally eat this nectar, the cameras were rolling. they went as far as putting a little hole in the flower and a camera right next to it so they could capture the moment its tongue drank the nectar. >> this is awesome. >> isn't it fantastic? dogs and cats will sleep anywhere and sometimes they won't move, even though it's inconvenient for you.
3:13 pm
take scooter, for instance. >> right in front of the fridge. >> watch this. i mean is that not the laysiest dog you've ever seen? scooter would not move. and this was done more than one time. >> well, you know, it's probably a comfortable spot because you've got the vibration there from the bridge. i often sleep in front of the fridge. >> but it's also, he's right next to where all the good treats and snacks come from too. >> every time someone opens that fridge, you never know what might fall out. >> but the problem is he's not waking up nor is he moving to get a treat. he's just like i'm going to stay here and you can go around me, you can do whatever you want, but i'm not moving. >> but he's there in case he wakes up. >> i think he's just a really kind dog and is willing to sweep the floor in front of the fridge where you know that crumb can say accumulate. >> i should put them back too. this is scooter mcgruder and he's saying something that's causing a stir. >> what made you do this video?
3:14 pm
>> see the video next time on "right this minute." this dude wants ladies to -- >> smell my pits. >> and this ain't the only thing he's asking for. >> if you're the girl, how do you not notice? >> and this girl is tagging up the street but there's no paint involves. >> she arm bombed the subway, she yarn bombed the i used to rock out every weekend,

3:20 pm
problem so i think she was close enough. she wouldn't give him her number. >> can i take you out to say thank you? >> that's okay. >> he goes up to several other women. >> i've got an odd request for you. would you mind just giving my pits a quick smell just to check? >> if you look really close right here at the cleavage area, i think she's miked, because you can see something there. >> let's inspect her cleavage a little further. >> get a magnifying glass. >> her cups are nearly runneth over. >> oh, no. you smell really good actually. yeah, you're fine. >> i would really love to repay you and take you out or something. >> you buy me dinner? >> and she's the first one to give her number. >> here's one more. >> do you mind? >> no, you're okay. >> i am? you're so awesome. i would love to take you out and say thank you. >> if you're the girl, how do you not know that this is a
3:21 pm
shtick, come on. like really? >> i feel bad, though, all the girls that gave him her number. he's not going to call. >> i know i'm good, but i didn't know i was that good. >> they never call. >> you forgot. >> i haven't showered since like saturday. can i get your number? >> goo. it's time to take the really, really big bun gee plunge. >> the best is yet to come. >> you heard him, the best is coming up, next.
3:22 pm
3:23 pm
3:24 pm
i really feel like there's too much testosterone in this room right now. >> drink some beers, watch some sports. >> you know what i would do to lighten it up? some puppies. >> who doesn't like puppies? >> i'm not a big dog fan, but i like puppies. >> if you don't like a puppy, seriously, get out of town. get out of here. >> look at these little puppies. these are yorkshire terriers and they're in a little backyard in germany. >> puppy dogs and ice cream cones, you can't go wrong. >> and babies. >> are they ever going to make another better video? >> they'll add babies and ice cream cones. >> this is like the opening credits to ice cream, puppies and wine. a new show. >> we just gave that away, america. >> i like these parts where they lunge at the camera, you know what i mean? what is this thing?
3:25 pm
this makes me want to get a dog. we've seen a lot of great graffiti artists on the show but never seen one quite like this. this is a graffiti artist but she doesn't use paint. do you see what she's doing over here? do you see what's on that phone booth? that is made of yarn. she's a graffiti artist who knits her graffiti. >> i think it's pretty neat what she does because you don't see a lot of female graffiti artists and she wants them to know we can do it too. >> we still have the sustained gender stereotypes, and i question why is that so pertinent. i think the use of the medium is so mockingly feminine. >> obviously she'll probably get in trouble for doing this because any time there's graffiti, the city always takes it down. with hers, i imagine it's easier to rip the yarn off. >> after a while i started to enjoy the disintegration of the work. the city just destroys it. it gets really dirty. my reaction to that is this is
3:26 pm
just what the city does to things. this is where you live, this is what's happening. i think what makes me so excited about the work is it's not for me, it's just out there. >> she yarn bombs on the subway, omething that's very, very, very important in philly. >> i put a hot pink sweater on the rocky statue at the bottom of the steps of the art museum. >> oh, that's cool. >> it was a hot pink sweater and it's like go see the art because most people weren't going up the steps to go to the museum. >> what a great message. and you know what, her art, i bet people who are painting over graffiti probably don't know what to do with this. if you're going to work up the nerve to go bungee jumping, go big. >> how big? >> 551 feet big in a high tropical gorge in nepal over a river. >> oh, wow.
3:27 pm
oh, wow. >> yeah. that is a big freefall. huge freefall. >> imagine the g force you feel on this one. i mean you really have to feel like you're on a jet doing some crazy stunts. >> hold up. look at that bridge. that bridge looks like it would snap in half with the weight of your body. >> i don't know if i'd want to cross the bridge. the bridge is a little sketchy to begin with. >> a little? >> and they have got a lot of people on it and the stress of the bungee bouncing off too. >> wait, but it looks like they're swinging. it doesn't look like they're jumping down. >> yeah, it looks to me like it's a direct drop. it does look like there's a bit of a swing in the line too. >> oh, my god. that's making me queasy actually. >> the best is yet to come. we've got some good footage. >> are you kidding? >> oh, yeah.
3:28 pm
>> it's exhilarating just to watch them do it. and i'm not even there. >> my stomach physically hurts right now. >> that's for it our show, everybody. we'll see you next time. have a great one.
