9:32 am
comes to us from dean. you see a group of climbers descending a peak in nepal. it's hard to breathe, easy to hyper ventilate. not to mention a storm came through and made temperatures 20 degrees fahrenheit. what if i told you right before this video, one of the members of their group had a pretty serious accident. a woman named debra fell about 15 feet. in doing so shattered her ankle and lower leg. in these photos from dean, you see part of the rescue attempt. this is some scary stuff because debra is saying things like i don't want to die. at 19,000 feet, anything is possible. >> it's not like they can call emergency services. >> they are on their own but did get some help. they are able to rig up a rope rescue that got her to a safe area where a helicopter could come pick her up. the helicopter did make it but not without issues.
9:33 am
it took six landing attempts for this helicopter to get where they needed to be. >> did they stay with her? >> they had to. people were giving her clothing off their back. she's airlifted to kathmandu to undergo surgery on her leg. >> if you're the rest of the climbers, how do you not want to jump into the helicopter, too. >> on the way to rescue debra, they picked up a dead body located on mt. everest. >> let me get this straight. the woman is rescued by a helicopter carrying a dead body. >> it sounds like the worst mix of all the bad things that can happen. but she is recovering. dean also told us where she fell was probably the best place she could have fallen. so james moody of the police department in california was cleared of the fatal shooting. but the family of the victim say they want murder charges. i'm about to show you a video and i must warn you, it is quite dramatic and very graphic.
9:34 am
>> hands up. hands up. don't you move. i will shoot you. hands up now. on the ground on your back now. >> no! >> what you just saw was officer moody shoot ernesto 11 times. four of those times he was olt ground. the woman you saw coming out screaming was his wife whitney. the reason they were after him, they say he was wanted for an alleged domestic violence situation from earlier in the day. he is a parolee. the san joaquin county's d.a.'s office said officer moody was justified. he said he thought the victim had a throwing knife. a throwing knife was found in the back of the truck. investigators say when they looked at the video, it did appear that the victim had a
9:35 am
knife at the beginning of the footage. >> when the guy got out of the truck, though, was he coming at the officer or was he saying, okay, hands up. i give up. >> it's interesting you say that the attorney for the family john burris said that this man was not acting aggressively towards the officer. he was trying to give himself up and turn himself in. but the district attorney's office said, no, this was justified. now, moody is back on the force. >> why was this video released to the public? >> the attorney for the family released the video. they want the justice department and u.s. attorney to file murder charges against the officer. >> the volcano started spewing ash and lava. you can see the smoke rising. wait until you see images of this volcano at night. >> oh, boy. >> color, fire, trees even on fire. this volcano has set dormant for
9:36 am
40 years, which is why people are so excited about the fact it is spewing lava. get this. tourists who want to go see this thing, there are tour groups that will take you there from the nearest village by suv, by van. it's a 10-hour ride. it costs anywhere from 650 to $1,050 to take this little tour. >> thank you. i don't want to go see evil volcano that can spew enough lava to get me. >> it's crazy, a volcano erupting and people are running towards it instead of paying money to get away. i've seen the video purchase the videos are beautiful. the videos have been popping up all over the web of this volcano. take a look at this image. you can see just how tiny people look and how close they are getting to the spewing lava. >> the craziest thing, this is also a russian volcano. you never know what could happen that we don't know about.
9:37 am
>> there could be baseball bats and crow bars and bottles of vodka, machine guns flying out of that thing. >> you never know. >> if i had the means, i think i would do it. i think it would be a real adventure. we hear a lot about the drones in the military. what about the drone for personal warfare. that's a guy at dangerous information wanted to find out. they went out and built their own drone with a kit they found on the internet and they gave it the works. >> six rotors for maximum payload. on board video and transmission system for remote operation. we went further by adding a mount for a handgun to see how safe or dangerous a manned drone would be for a civilian. >> it's attempting to use it for spy purposes. >> that doesn't mean it's any more legal than it would be without a drone.
9:38 am
if you use a drone to spy on a neighbor, you could go to jail. >> this feels like the next round of scary paparazzi. they are going to start getting photos of celebs through that crack in their blinds while they are in the shower or with their family. >> this video does a good service of highlighting what possible and what may be in our future. this demonstration just shows what could happen if it gets into the wrong hands. so can you arm a drone? >> for testing purposes we're using this, a realistic handgun paint ball marker that only shoots these, 11 millimeter, nonlethal paint balls. >> i iteffective? let's watch. >> snap. >> these are pretty accurate. >> considering the growing popularity of these devices, it seems inevitable they will be used in ways the inventors and manufacturers could have never imagined. a 4-year-old girl ballottle

9:43 am
the doctors are like at the arnold palmer hospital for children. >> you're right. you never get to see that. when you're in that situation, you're so focused on the patient, you forget the doctors are human beings as well. >> when that dad gives me a call and tells me to walk chloe down the aisle, i'll probably retire after that, because i don't think there could be a greater sense of fulfillment after that. this video is entitled adventures of a dominican. the reason he's in finland, for his birthday several friends pitched in. to give back while he was in finland -- his goal was 114. he gets all the way to 70 but then he stops. that's why he's sitting down making a sign, explaining. >> my friends bought me a plane
