all i know, nobody was killed. they were on a dismounted patrol, checking things out in the middle of a dirt road in the middle of farmland and this thing explodes. you see a couple of guys retreat off to the side off screen. you see a couple of other guys run towards the bomb. imagine running towards an area that just exploded. the courage that takes, too. >> when the war started in iraq and afghanistan it was something you see in the news every day and you don't see it anymore. this is a reminder they are in harm's way and there are ieds out there that pose a danger to service people. a pawn shock in lakewood, colorado. >> wow, all the way through the store. >> that's a truck. >> that is a truck driving right through the front door of easy pawn shop. watch what happens after it enters easy pawn shop. >> the guy was trying to turn in

9:35 am
they don't know how powerful they are. that blows my mind. if i would ever spend that much money, i would drive it like a grandma. >> at least go to a driving school with the car and learn how powerful it is. >> what do the people in the car do? can you hear their reaction to watching this guy? >> you can hear the whole thing. >> i got that on video. >> and then they turn car around to do a second pass to see the damage. >> oh, god. >> i'm going to turn around. >> no way. >> this is going on youtube. >> you know the weird part is, he almost made it. six inches on each side. lamborghinis are wide. >> nikkhah moment of silence for you because of this accident. >> it's a little sad. >> his pride. i don't know if that will ever be fixed. >> a little too much power for him. you guys remember this video?

"right this minute" we have jeremy, michael and melissa via skype. >> jeremy, tell me what you were feeling walking into this gym and you realized your son was walking toward you. >> when i first walked into the gym i didn't know what was going on. they had him behind the screen. i saw him walking for the first time. it's a feeling you can't describe. only thing i can tell you, it was one of the most proud moments of my life to see him, knowing the pain he had to push
9:37 am
through, the determination it took to make that happy, i was a very, very proud father. you can see in the back of the video gunnery sergeant from my command that led me into the building was actually telling me that i couldn't go to him. i had to stay put. i wanted to just run up there and grab him and congratulate him. it was very hard to stay put. >> melissa, was this a complete surprise? >> he had no idea we were working on him to walk by himself. i had to remind myself not to post videos on facebook because i wanted to update family members. it was harder when he would call and i'd want to say, hey, guess what your son is doing. i did what i needed to and kept it a secret. >> what have you done since you've been back, jeremy, with michael that you haven't done before. >> one moment that stood out. when i came home we took family pictures, had a photographer come out. we went out to this pond on
9:38 am
base. michael at one point during this photo shoot decided he wanted to take a walk and he grabbed my hand. we walked along this pond bank along the trees there, just took a walk, father and son, for the first time. things like that that i couldn't have done with him before is great. i never thought this story would go so far. i never thought it would have such an impact on america the way it has. checking in with bu feed on a very buzz worthy topic. >> 24 things that don't make any sense. >> in all honesty, i feel like we need to start asking questions. >> km is exactly what we'll do next. >> why do we press harder on the remote when the batteries are dead. >> we have some kids in the trunk. wha spend time on.

9:42 am
remote when the batteries are dead. >> as much as we wish a remote can last forever, they have to go to remote heaven someday. happened to me last night. i was watching hoarders and was trying to change the channel because it was getting depressing. nothing came from it. >> did you get up and change the channel manually? >> i never heard of that. what is that? these are things that happen in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. i stare at my ceiling, why? in all honesty we need to ask questions. there's an a, b, c, d, and f. what happened to e? what did e do to get kicked off the grading scale. it was at the top of an eye chart. maybe the other letters got jealous. >> why are chicken fingers called chicken fingers when chicken don't have funkers. >> i heard because they are

9:44 am
the trunk lid was up and they had no idea that this massive semitruck was bearing down on them. basically this person turned left in front of the semitruck. >> shame on these parents for allowing the children to be in the trunk. shame on them for not being a more careful driver. with the trunk up, you can't see through your rearview mirror. >> i agree this is wrong but other countries don't have the same safety regulations we have. >> whether or not it's a rule or regulation, common sense is common sense. common sense is global. >> i'm not saying it's right, i'm not saying it's safe, but i do know what you're saying. in different countries things don't work like they work here. tell us what you think. leave us your comments on facebook.com/"right this minute." when it's a bachelor party weekend, oftentimes the bachelor is at the disposal of his buddies. in this video the buddies take the bachelor out blindfolded and

9:50 am
before but didn't exactly memorize it. i guess he forgot how sharp the turn was. >> here is what happened. >> what happened? >> i learned this in mistake. couple of big mistakes. he's looking at where he's going instead of looking where you're going. you're supposed to look through the turn. the bike follows the head. he panics, going too fast, his foot comes down. he slams on the brake. see the back wheel chattering. he can't stop fast enough. >> had to turn on the sternum there, banged it off the guardrail. >> the guy suffered a sprained ankle. didn't go with the paramedics and did not get a citation. >> guys, i've got the new nonmedicinal cure for complications. check out these cures. this was built on the 15th floor of an elevator shaft. >> no. >> with a glass floor. >> so basically the thing pretty
9:51 am
much scares the poop out of you. imagine sitting on the top of an elevator shaft to go to the bathroom. >> no way. >> created by an architect. >> the elevator not the service. >> the elevator. the elevator commissioned. >> that would be awkward. >> funny if the elevator came up and you were sitting] there. >> sorry, guys. >> i guess the elevator would have to have a glass roof, too. >> if anything maybe if it's like you're having a tough time in there. it's like encouragement. look at all this room down there. just go down and get out of here. >> i said this could be the cure for constipation. i think it could also work opposite. like if you're afraid of heights. >> it will be the cleanest toilet ever because it would never be used. didn't anyone ever tell these guys not to get that close to a llama?
9:54 am
9:55 am

9:56 am
llamas, making kissy faces at it. >> i'm a little nervous. >> and they have got really mushy tongues. >> how do you know? >> i have stuck my hands in a lot of mouths. >> these guys didn't know what you guys know about llamas. >> looks like this llama is working something up there. we knew it. >> square on the face. >> shocker. dude has a beard. >> this started with that. >> probably had beer breath. the llama is like i'm not having it. >> you're at the zoo. what are you going to do, wash it off in a zoo bathroom? >> i love llamas. it's hilarious. a petting zoo, get all covered in spit. i love it. i mean, shower after.

9:58 am
look how many separate are called of the commissioner of the league handed out 15 spendings. he's been a commissioner for years. he said he's never had to hand out as many suspensions at this. for no reported injury aside from cuts and bruises. they definitely got some words from unhappy parents. >> that's not cool. >> i don't think lacrosse and canada a very popular sport. >> not hockey. >> maybe if they do more of this. maybe more people will show up. maybe this was a publicity stunt. >> that's it for "right this minute." thanks so much for joining us. we'll see you next time, everybody. have a great one. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
