onquer hard water stains. for lime, calcium and rust... lime-a-way is a must. hi, everybody. i'm beth troutman. this is "right this minute." great videos and the stories behind them. let's get to talking about them. it's the fire and the fury from one of the world's most infamous volcanos. meet the man who defied danger to get this close. >> i was camping out on the nearby islands, which is inhabited by lizards. an unsuspecting cab driver picks up a fare -- >> for a ride home. >> see how the driver is the one who got taken for a ride. a guy makes a video plea for

a date. ♪ i'm looking for a girl i can call my miss right ♪ >> hear how many ladies romeo has been able to reel in. >> they were impressed with your rap skills? plus, a drummer's point of view you've probably never seen. and a super fan mourns a loss. >> i got to give her the red badge of courage for this one. >> how she went all razorback to back her team. i have some absolutely incredible images of one of the world's most infamous volcanos. this is in indonesia. when it erupted several days ago, it sent ash and debris anywhere from two to four mile into the air. this video is of the lava flow that is coming down and flowing into the sea. >> it has a strange, dark beauty to it. >> when it erupted, the government said no one should go within about a half a mile of

this volcano. so this video is incredible because we are so close to it. the reason i called it an infamous volcano, is erupted back in 1883 killing more than 36,000 people. the man who shot this, his name is james reynolds. he's via skype from hong kong. what gave you the courage to do this? >> i have some good contacts in indonesia, and i've seen some recent pictures by the news. i had an idea of what kind of activity was taking place there. i really came up with the plan to just check it out at first. if it looked like it was safe enough, as you get in close to the volcano and start shooting. >> describe the heat you felt. being that close. >> the first thing i wanted to do was see what the seawater was like. you put your hand in there, and it's like a hot bath. >> exactly how close are you? >> probably within 50 to 100

feet. >> toward the end of the video you have some night shots. how long did you stay in this area to film? >> i was there for exactly 24 hours. i was camped out on the nearby islands, which is inhabited by giant lizards. so that was an adventure in itself. these things take on a totally different sight after dark. it's a glowing red monster, really. i managed to catch one small explosion as well, which looked fantastic with all the flying red lava. >> was this volcano threatening anybody at the time? >> luckily for the local population, the volcano is about 25 miles offshore, so the main threat is mostly just from ash fallout. when it has a big eruption, it can dump ash on the villages in the mainland. being a cab driver has its risks, but you would never think it gets to this. >> you put glasses on your face to help you see, i'll crush

them. i'll [ bleep ] crush them. you tried to take my money! >> dramatic video released this weekend. this happened early sunday morning in surf city, north carolina. the man you see on the left is gunnery sergeant john adam. the marine, the driver on the right, is charles hocksworth jr. he didn't like the fact that the cab was going to be shared with another fare. >> i ain't going to split a cab with anybody. >> the owner of the cab company says they frequently double up just to save our fares money. if you don't want to ride with somebody, you don't have to. >> the cab driver is telling him that. >> you don't have to split a cab with anybody. >> no, i don't. you tried to [ bleep ] take my money! get out of the car! >> i'm not trying to take anything from you. >> get out of the car! get out of the car!

>> [ bleep ]! >> right after this incident, gunnery sergeant john adam checked himself into a mental hospital. >> well, that's where he belongs. this dude's a scum bag. >> get out the car! >> are there charges? >> the chief of police says because he's been checked into the hospital, they haven't been able to serve him. the driver was taken to the hospital. he had multiple fhi he was released from the hospital. i talked to the cab owner today. he said the cab driver is on his way to duke university to have surgery on his face because of the beating he took. two swimmers and four surfers were caught in a rip current off the coast of wide mouth beach in the u.k. to the rescue, once again, the rnli, or the royal national lifeboat institution. these guys, they're volunteers,

and they save a ton of people. according to their website, 139,000 lives have been saved at sea by these guys since 1824. >> go rnli. >> of course, in this case, dude's out on a surf board swimming out to these people caught in a rip current. we're seeing all this from a camera attached to the surf board, which is a cool angle you don't see every day. one of these guys gets one of these people trapped on to the surf board. looks like a girl. swims her back to safety. this lifeguard drops off the first person, heads back out to the water to save someone else. looks like this person's on a surf board or boogie board. they ride the wave back into shore. i think, man, this video kind of feels like the beginning of a romantic comedy. like these two are going to fall in love after something like this. >> look at the muscles on that guy. how can you not fall in love?

>> they upload a lot of their videos to the web. you have to hand it to them. they're volunteers. this is a man we all fear when we travel. houston police say this guy stole five designer golf bags and one custom made mountain bike. you're talking thousands of dollars worth of stuff. >> going up to baggage claim and randomly taking people's stuff. >> he was so bold when he got it. >> they got the license plate number then. >> he's in custody. they arrested 29-year-old jason pine. he's facing a felony theft charge. >> that's amazingly brazen. given that the people who own the golf bag and are waiting for the bike are probably standing somewhere around this baggage claim. >> but all you have to do is have the confrontation. oh, this is yours? i'm sorry. i have another one coming that looks just like this.

then you get away. >> you know what? that's exactly why i always stand right at the opening. so as soon as my bag comes out, i grab it. >> i like to pack like a dead fish in my bag so it stinks real bad and no one would ever want to steal that. >> but then your stuff smells like a dead fish. >> but i know where it came from. >> that sounds like a perfectly sane solution to the problem. we've got crazy dash cams from russia, and watch out pedestrians. >> but this guy is like uh, uh, uh. >> see what happens when one man fights back. so tell me, would you do this on your vacation? >> he's like man handling a tiger. it's not like a tiger cub. >> see where the tigers are a tourist attraction, "right this minute."
