9:30 am
hi, th troutman. we have the best videos of the day and the stories behind them, "right this minute." >> full throttle action. a woman claims her kia raced out of control. >> she did everything she could to try to stop the vehicle. >> now hear from the driver about her 100-mile-an-hour ordeal. >> i didn't think i was going to come out of it alive. some villagers stumble upon a baby elephant -- >> that got trapped in a well. >> see the rescue. a showdown in the courtroom turns into --
9:31 am
>> something we see all the time but not from this angina sglle. >> why a lot of people think this guide it coming. >> and mr. bump goes bump. what happens when slippery and wet meets. >> look at the look on his face! state troopers and sheriff's deputies are in hot pursuit of this kia suv. they are reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour. the person in the kia, though, not a criminal. her name is lori and she claims that her kia suv was completely out of control. she says the car just took off. this video from kcci -- >> oh, wow. >> you can see lori going off into the soft shoulder, getting back onto the highway. she did everything she could to try and stop the vehicle,
9:32 am
including stomping on the brakes. she tried to turn the key off, put it in neutral, she says, nothing would slow this car down. she was on the phone with 911 dispatchers telling them somebody has got to come and help me. she managed not to crash this vehicle at high speeds for 59 miles. to tell us about this harrowing experience, we have the driver, lori, joining us via skype right in minute. what was going through your head when you were approaching 100 miles an hour in your suv? >> i didn't think i was going to come out of it alive. i told the 911 officer i'm going to die, i'm going to die, this is it. people aren't moving. the officers could not get ahead of me. they weren't able to clear traffic very often. i was going in the ditch from one side to the other. it was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. there was no key. i want everyone to understand there's no key, it's a push button start. we put on the emergency brake, we pushed the brake. i tried to move the gear shift.
9:33 am
there was nothing i could do. and i had just filled up with a full tank of gas. >> what were the police saying to you when you were on the phone with 911? what were they telling you to do? >> well, the 911 dispatcher was unbelievable. i mean she literally was my lifeline. >> describe to me what you did to finally get the car to slow down and stop. >> a major of the department, he said pull up on the accelerator and push on the brake, and that's what i did. >> lori hasn't decided whether she's going to take any legal action against kia. kia motors did issue this statement saying our technicians have been unable to duplicate the issue and this appears to be an isolated incident. being called a good old-fashioned courthouse brouhaha, 21-year-old robert petern, walking into the court house for a hearing made af vid.
9:34 am
>> i'd just like to know where your warrant is. >> you guys can search it but you're going to be billed for it. >> the personnel at the courthouse are telling robert that he can't bring his video camera into the court house. robert has a problem with that. >> i'm a person. i'm a man. i'm not subject to your jurisdiction. >> he gets the camera through and he starts filming the court house. of course he's noticed. now, he's given ample opportunities from people here at the courthouse. >> there are no cameras in the courtroom. >> yeah, there is. >> you have to put that away. >> no, i don't. >> shut the camera off now. >> no, thank you. >> i'm holding you accountable because you're about to overstep your bounds. >> let me tell you why he's there. 21-year-old robert peterson got a ticket for riding his bike at night without a light. >> what? >> i'm not like everybody else here, i'm not a person, i'm a man. >> these guys clear out the entire courthouse because robert is causing a seen. they give him ample opportunity
9:35 am
to get the camera off. >> you can't bring the camera in. >> i can and i will. >> you can't. >> he's not listening. then we get a look at something we see all the time. >> i'm going in. >> no, you're not going in. >> don't touch me. let the record show that you just battered me. >> step back. >> oh! ah! >> should i be laughing? >> i'm going to say yes, you can. >> what's your first and last name? >> i don't have a first name. i don't have a last name either. i have a name. my name is robert. >> he was booked into jail and is being held on $50,000 bail and has a court hearing scheduled. >> he's lucky they waited as long as they did to break out the taser because they were infinitely patient with this guy. >> it sounds like he was really confused and now he's tased and confused. >> i don't know what the hell law book you're reading, but it doesn't apply to me.
9:36 am
>> that's a nice speech, but you're still not coming in. father-son water skiers were rescued from the water after they were drifting off the western coast of the u.k. as you can see in this video from rnli, the life boat volunteers are to the rescue. you can see a little bit as they start to come up. on the right side of the screen, there are their heads bobbing in the water. >> they have life jackets on so they're not struggling. >> but they are without anything other than their water skis. >> how did they get out there in the first place? >> the boat they were following behind had engine trouble, so they were left stranded. i love what they say to the little kid when they get to him first and lift him out of the water. >> this might hurt a little bit. >> i don't think he minded at all. >> they're just happy to get out of that water. >> it takes two of them to get the dad out. >> 1, 2, 3.
9:37 am
>> but wait, the rescue is not over. watch what happens later. >> you are the only two in the water? the boat is broken down? >> they go to the boat that has engine trouble and watch what they do. they start getting off their ropes and tie the boat to that little rubber life boat and tow them back to shore. >> that's a lot of people. four people in this little rubber boat saved six or seven people. >> it's just pulling it back to shore. >> i'm going to tell you right off the bat, this one is going to be very difficult to watch. this is a video that we found on traffic tube.ro and it's in romania. you see a very busy street, cars driving right next to the tracks that are for a tram. notice this girl walking across right in front of these cars on -- >> no, no, don't do it.
9:38 am
[ horns honking ] >> what the heck is she thinking? >> oh, my god. >> how do you not see that? how do you not hear that? >> you do hear the sound of the tram coming. the driver of this car starts honking his horn and yelling. >> was she wearing ear phones or something? >> what's even more amazing, it looks like she actually does look in the direction of the tram. >> she was about to step back and she didn't make it. >> she didn't have a chance to even react. you do see the tram hit her. it drags her a distance, but you do see -- you do see the tram run over her leg. the poster of this video said she did lose the leg and you immediately see the tram stop. the operator comes out and a lot of people come to her aid. right about here you do see her sitting up by herself. >> if this isn't an ad for what not to do around -- >> just don't do it. don't do it.
9:39 am
don't cross without looking first. >> and aside from that, that's not a place you cross the tracks. you don't just jump over the tracks. here's dave feherty. he's out doing a live shot about a possible homicide when real breaking news happens behind him, you'll see what he caught on camera. and look at this little guy going to work. and the spider is apparently the size of the head of a pin. see how big he gets it and how fast he goes.

9:44 am
kenya. he was a baby elephant that got trapped in a well late at night. some villagers heard some noise and they thought, oh, it's probably some elephants. the next day when they went to feed their livestock in the afternoon, they found this baby down a well. so they called a rescue service and they came and got him. and not only did they bunk him down for the night, they gave him some milk. they said he was a little mean to his handlers until they gave him some milk. >> that's got to be a big well to get a elephant -- even a baby elephant stuck in it. >> and then they put him on this plane. >> look how they have to strap him to transport him. and they say while it makes him a little uncomfortable, obviously, the very next day, he was okay. >> at least they gave him a nice big pillow. >> you see him at the wildlife trust two weeks later making friends, doing well. >> so is he an orphan?
9:45 am
>> what they think happened is that his mom was the one making all that noise that the villagers heard and that to protect her herd because they were in the area that's really not safe for him, they left the baby behind. si since they didn't think they'd find his mother to reunite him, they took him to a trust area. another rescue, this horse fell into a creek bed in australia. as we see from 7 news, they used a winch to pull the horse out. you can see the straps they put on this horse and you see them pulling it. they push him up -- >> popped right up. >> and he is good to go. >> well, linus, the horse, escaped with cuts and bruises. it's a dressage horse so i'm sure they want it to look all pretty and nice for the next competition. it's that time again. real or fake? >> we've got a theme this time. >> okay. >> things that go in circles. an orange spiny thing, a car
