>> everyone is on edge right now. obviously the littlest things send people running out of the theater. grow up. act your age. watch a movie. surveillance video from an intersection in canada. very peaceful, right? not much activity. except for this. >> oh, boy. >> oh, man. >> who ran the stop sign? >> is that a stop sign we're seeing right xdthere? >> this is in canada. i look up their stop signs. it does look like that. it's a stop sign. this accident is still under investigation. >> that's hard to watch. >> that silver car is flying. >> the silver car is moving is right. >> you see this black sedan pulls up right to the scene of the accident. you see a couple people get out of that car. turns out those people were off-duty paramedics. they were driving right behind when they are saw the accident. they immediately pulled over and

puppies away from this little tunnel area, a man stopped and told him that about a mile away the mother was found and had been hit by a car. >> no. >> you're killing me. >> she did not survive the hit from this car. but the man did something pretty remarkable. because he was having such a tough time getting the puppies out of this tunnel, he used the mother to help bring one of the puppies out from this tunnel. so 9/11 death, she was able to help her puppies. >> oh, my goodness. this is breaking my heart. >> it's like a sadfá bedtime story. >> i know. >> come on, beth. give me some happy news. >> the puppies were taken in by the bill foundation and take a look at them. here they are. they're currently looking for homes. if anything, this next video shows you the importance of

he had jeans on. that's probably what made his legs get cut up. he goes on to show us a rock that bounced just past his head. that rock just narrowly missed. if he wasn't wearing a helmet and that rock hit him, i don't think he would have survived. >> no, because that rock is almost the size of his head. >> i know a lot of people who ride motorcycles say, you know, it's hot, i don't want to wear it, it's 110 degrees in arizona. you don't want that on your head. but i see videos like this and i say, why take a chance? why is this wedding mc taking off his clothes? the naked wedding mc, next, "right this minute." there's something unexpected emerging from these waters. >> it's not a boat. >> how did they do this? >> find out what's lurking beneath the surface.

door because of the pressure, but the window was down, so they were able to pull her out. >> i'm glad she's okay, but how do you hit the wrong pedal for that long going that slow? >> she was taken to the hospital and treated, but they said she did not have serious injuries. now, the car was pulled from the river by the fire department and some other people. take a look at how that looked. >> i'm shocked they didn't just leave it in the hackensack river. >> well, a similar scenario played out in lake pleasant, arizona. there you see the boat ramp. a nice truck. emerging from the water is not a boat but a truck. it looks like somebody forgot to back their boat into their lake the right way. the whole truck wound up in the lake. the maricopa county sheriff's office towing the truck out of the water. you can clearly see it is some sort of work truck. do you call in sick that day? >> before i saw the tow, i thought this thing was driving out of the water.

like, how did they do this? >> i thought the same thing at first. you can clearly see there's a truck way at the top of the hill towing the truck and the trailer out of the lake. >> where was the boat? is the boat just floating off into the lake? >> the boat floats. the truck and trailer don't. yeah, thenb boat is off. check out huff post weird news, you're always beginning o to -- going to find some gems like this video here. ♪ whoa, whoa, whoa cried the eagle to the world below ♪ ♪ wake up friend, can't you see we're at the end ♪ >> this is william. he's created himself a little youtube video because apparently one of mitt romney's campaign ads was pulled from youtube for music copyright infringement. that happened earlier this

month. so william decided he was going to make some original music for mitt romney. it's called "mitt romney, a hero in my mind." ♪ world war ii, that's obama's plan for you and me ♪ ♪ voting for mitt romney, he's a hero in my mind ♪ >> he's a pretty interesting fellow. here to tell us more about just how interesting william is, we have a reporter for huff post weird news. >> william is known as a biblical prophet. he calls himself a co-prophet, which is a sign of being humble. if he was the prophet, that's an ego. it's like he's willing to share. he came out and said before that denver's airport has too many phallic symbols off over it. he never actually saw the airport in person. he just saw it on the internet, which, as you know, is a complete bashing of truth.

the thing that's great about this song is he's telling people to vote for mitt romney, but if you look at the biblical prophesiies on his site, he's saying obama's supposed to be the last president. which, if you vote for mitt romney under those circumstances, you're kind of wasting your vote. >> is he being serious though? >> oh, yeah, yeah. he's completely serious. when he gets made fun of by journalists because, well, some people think he's kind of wacko. he's the co-prophet, he could probably prophesize he was going to be made fun of in the first place. where jockeys literally ride an ostrich to the finish line. >> that's funny. what's even funnier --
