hi, everyone. it's time for the best videos of the day and the stories behind them "right this minute." >> a kayaker comes to the rescue when he discovers a sheep stuck in the river bank.

>> it's too steep. he can't get up there on his own. >> see how this brave dude led the sheep to safety. >> it's a video that shows a massive fire off in the distance. we've got the story behind the big boomer. >> and a shopper goes all smooth criminal. >> didn't even try to hide it that well. >> find out how much stuff her slick move got her. plus, a rip cord ride turns into a rip cord wipeout. see the tough kid that gets right back in the action. >> and it's called the food olympics. track and field meets lots of food. and let me tell you, the puking really, really, really starts to happen in this event. >> that is awful. >> kayakers can come across crazy stuff. check out this video. p.j. of kayaking. going along this river here. he notices something right there

on the bank. it's a sheep. >> that she is stuck in this wat. ee up on the grass. that's where the sheep is trying to get back to. it's too steep there. so this kayaker is trying to give this guy a hand. he goes over there first. he didn't want to kayak and give up safety, but the sheep is not happy. plan b is get the sheep down the river where this kayaker knows is a road that the sheep can easily take back to dry land. >> no. no. not that way. >> but it's not so easy. you can see he is grabbing him by the back of the neck and trying to get him to go down stream. he gets pretty close right around here. kind of a spot where it looks like the sheep might be able to make it. i feel like his back legs are getting stuck in the mud.

poor guy doesn't know what to do. kayaker says, you know, i don't want to leave you here, man. >> i know you're frightened. you have to listen to the jesus that is the kayaker. come on. >> looking at this guy's youtube, he calls himself the jesus of kayaking. a miracle is on its way. the sheep finally starts to go down. of course, it's staying close to the bank. he wants to get back to his sheep buddies. they get to the area where you can see a dry patch. the sheep can make his way out. you can see the sheep is so confused, he stays here. all he has to do is go over here. this is where the guy says all right, i'm getting out of the boat. he grabs the sheep, pulls him up. >> there he goes! aww. i'm okay guys. >> guys, i'm over here. i was stuck in the water a little bit.

this guy in a kayak helped me out. this video shows a fire at a gas station in russia. you can see a massive fire off in the distance near a very busy street. but look at what happens here. >> holy cow! so this is like a parking lot or some place where they store a bunch of cars? >> i think it's a parking location for vehicles. what you just saw exploding was a tanker full of propane gas. reportedly this explosion was caused because of violations to safety rules. >> wait a minute. in russia? >> i know. you would never get that. i know. >> i'm shocked and appalled by that allegation. >> of all things, i would have never guessed that. >> that video is depressing. you hear that kind of woosh first. and then you get the explosion.

>> there is another video that captures the explosion very close. and the scary thing about this video is that all of a sudden everything goes white. and nothing happens after. so we don't know if the person reporti recording the video was too close. >> they did upload. that means they got out okay. >> firefighters battled this fire for 12 hours. it did spread to four other buses. apparently it caused millions of dollars worth of damage. i'm calling this caught on camera. both of these criminals caught on camera. you can see them very clearly. this first one is from honolulu. you're in paradise, what are you doing shoplifting more than $2,000 worth of stuff? but this person uploaded the video accused this woman of doing. check her out. the first thing she is stealing

is a top. now she grabs the top off the hanger. she balled it up in her hand and, watch, didn't even try to hide it that well. >> oh, my god. this girl is a pro. she is so smooth. i didn't see her roll that first top up. and i'm watching for this. >> she's not going for quantity, she's going for quality. >> schenn th >> then she's covering her tracks. she is hiding the empty hanger. she got away. they're looking for her. let's go to central ohio where you see these vending machines. you're thinking how is a robber going to break into that? this guy shows us how. he starts messing with the machine. what surprises me is he keeps going back and forth. he's doing something. he's got something to get in this machine. he's eventually successful. and once he gets the door open, he goes back to steal what was inside. he finally puts on his hood about 3 1/2 minutes into this whole thing as if he hasn't already been seen on camera. >> i love how people think this through. it's like some magic cloak that

just makes them invisible. i have my hood on, they'll never know who i am. >> they'll never see my face. all right. let's move it. >> i have a couple of close call videos. check out this first one in afghanistan. we have a group of special operations forces in a brief fire fight with taliban forces. you hear a couple gun shots crack over this wall. but then what looks to be maybe an afghan fighter on our side meanders in front of this firing line. >> watch out, man. >> he doesn't seem to care one bit. he's not even dressed for a gun fight. did anybody notice he is wearing an undershirt. >> he is carrying a weapon. my bad. sorry. this next close call, much more serious situation. this is from sergeant matt young. he's crouched behind an adobe wall taking cover. listen.

you hear two small cracks. and he takes cover quick. now to me it didn't look that serious at first. but here's the slow motion replay. you'll notice a little puff of dust out in the distance and then you see the wall he is hiding behind shatter. that's how close he was to taking two rounds. >> you look at that wall, it barely seems like it's enough to guard him. >> a couple of our guys on the other side of that wall where that break began. >> lucky for sergeant matt. >> they have to deal with this every single day. good thing that wall was there and protected him from being shot. >> the one thing they can't do is let their guard down. >> look out in the distance. you don't see anybody. he's coming out of nowhere.

wild, wild west music because we're going to wild, wild -- >> frontier out there. >> we have night vision video captured by a wildlife guard here. you see a pack of wolves. and they look like they're on a mission, right? they spotted their dinner. >> wolf pack. >> they're going to eat sheep, people? >> you're about to see what they're about to attack. full speed ahead. boom, dinner. two horses. >> no way. >> a mom and her yearling -- >> are being surrounded by this pack of wolves. this horse here, look at what he does. he comes in and starts circling around mom and baby. and then leads them to a larger

pack of horses and they end up scaring the pack of wolves away. >> this is video proof of why you shouldn't stray from the herd. >> all of a sudden, everybody is back together. the wolves are like now what do we do? >> there are easier meals. >> there are many other options out there. and tonight, horse was not on the menu. >> what would you have said if they took down the baby horse? you would have been so sad, crying. and i would have said, who cares? circle away. >> that is all true. marco and his bride were on their honeymoon in costa rica and they're taking a ride on the river. here is one thing that convinced them to go. there was a recent torrential rain. they thought maybe this will make it go quickly. he later found out what was a class one rapids area turned into a class six and he ran into trouble. >> he is getting bounced around like crazy. >> he has a good solid tube.

it's not just a toy. he has a lifejacket on. at least there is some precaution. >> there are precautions being taken. but the rock in the river didn't quite agree with him on that. >> it just threw him off the tube. >> and he's in the water. it takes him a little bit of time to get that tube back. and they're big rocks in there. it's not like he's just going down the river catching a ride. he has to avoid the rocks along the way. >> awful. you're out of breath, you're getting bangs up. you know you have like 50,000 bruises all over his body because there is somebody from the hotel was able to help fish him out of the water. he says, look, i'm not one of those guys who's winy. i'm adventurous but this is more adventure than i counted on. >> the people that took this group down the river, i think they're at fault. looks like me they shouldn't have been out there in tubes with a bunch of tourists. >> i can't believe he got back

to his tube. >> it wasn't easy, that's for sure. but like a big boy, he gets back up, gets back on and continues his ride. >> yeah, we heard it a million times. in real estate, it's all about location, location, location. but for this house, look at this. it's in the middle of a chinese roadway. this man refused to leave his house when the chinese government asked him to in 2008. they offered him $32,000. he refused. the chinese government said, okay, we're going to build the road right around you. they took down everything else but what they needed to keep the house standing and built the road right around his house. >> have they heard of the concept of imminent domain. >> the laws are very different in china. he spent about $96,000 on his home. the government only offered about $32,000 plus much smaller plot for him to build. he said, look, i'm not asking for more money, but what i do want is an equal house. that's what i want somewhere else. i feel bad for the guy. >> right. but at the end of the day, how

much comfort do you get? >> there are no guardrails or anything to stop a car from blasting through your house. there is no warning signs, nothing. >> i can't believe it got to this point. >> this is just a classic standoff. >> i like the fact that the man was able to stand off the government. why don't they do like us, attach a punch of balloons and just move the house? for 450 pounds to a mixed martial arts fighter, nick's amazing trance formation on the next "right this minute." it's the olympics you've never seen before, the food olympics where they combine eating and events. but unfortunately, can't keep the food down. >> that is awful. >> why don't you turn away before it happens? >> we'll show you all the unique competitions. and check this out. oh, my goodness! >> that's incredible! >> we have an amazing light display where the

go to our website to check it out. ladies and gentlemen, it's time once again for the food olympics. we first featured these geuys a year ago when they did the first rendition of eating olympics. it's eating and drinking events with field events. there is quite a bit of puking in this video. we have food olympics 2.0. the first event they tackle, the dominos down hill dash. essentially it's a pizza run. each competitor has to eat three slices of pizza in four minutes and then run 700 meters. >> i can't even imagine. you know what i have to say? they burn the calories off right away. >> secondly, we have the soda 300. three sodas, you chug them then you run 300 meters.

>> and hurdles on top of that. >> let me tell you, the puking really, really, really starts to happen in this event. they go through the breakfast two mile. now this one is great. at first you eat a banana. you run two laps. then you chug an orange juice box, another two lapse. then you eat pop tarts and finish the mile which is four more laps. >> that is awful. >> you turn away before it happens. every time you watch it. and last but not least, the gallon four by four. they have to down a gallon of milk while running this race. as you can imagine, quite a bit of puking ensues after this one as well. >> it's no more 2012. i'm about to make your day. these videos just made mine.

this video was submitted to be my channel feature. her nephew decided to go on the rip cord at a park in berkeley, california. and you hear someone saying where is he? he pops back up. he is missing for a few seconds and then you see him again. >> i feel like there should be somebody at the end of that assuring safe landing for small kids. >> right? >> how about off the rip swing there? >> i don't know that the kids don't find this not fun. >> it's like a full on cart wheel. >> this second video was inspired by the movie the muppets. one of the funniest parts of the trailer is when fonzie has horse shoes. >> there is something about artistic integrity, not cheap tricks. check it out. >> it is a really short movie.

>> a dad decided to make the fate shoes for his son. >> what a good dad! >> look at these shoes. >> those are fart shoes. >> dad won the best dad award. fart shoes, they're great. the dad for doing it, it's all good. >> it's that time of year when christmas carollers are out singing in malls and stores. >> christmas is one of my favorite holidays. if i saw that, i would have been like "right this minute" found out who the xroofrpg

clean yourself off. a huge cliff to go jumping. it's so yesterday. we see it all the time. these guys are soul flyers. they're adding an extra shot of adrenaline. these are base jumpers. they're doing the stuff you see skydivers doing in a plane way high in the air. they're doing it as they base jump from a cliff. you see them holding hands, spinning around doing the combination moves together. >> you really to consider how close they are to the cliff,

too, while they're doing the moves and holding each other's hands. >> these guys are awesome. they just made me so happy. >> it's after thanks giving. it is safe to start singing christmas carols, right? >> yeah. >> for some guy in england, not so much. he got these cheerful singers singing some festive holiday tunes. and then somebody comes along. he broke their guitars, stomped on their big gifts. >> what is wrong with him? >> i'm suspicious about this. this doesn't seem real to me. >> and you would be right, nick. >> bingo. >> this guy is known as don jolly. apparently he does the pranks. and so he did this one for itv.

it is airing later in december and it's for charity. but just think if you had no idea what was going on and you saw this? >> christmas is one of my favorite holidays. if i saw that, i would have jumped in and i would have started fighting with this guy. i would have been like -- >> and that's what made me think it was fake. because i don't care how sweet and nice of a caroller you are, if somebody comes in and smashes an instrument and ruined the parade, one of the carollers is going to jum thp guy. >> it got me. it got me. >> the holidays are upon us. of course, the videos are rolling in of incredible house light displays. this one is set to "joy to the world." >> are you kidding me?
