9:02 am
hi, everybody. i'm beth troutman. we search the web for the best videos of the day, and we've got them, "right this minute." >> oh, my god. >> they saw what was coming towards a big trailer -- >> sitting on some train tracks. >> hear why the cargo makes this crash really cringe-worthy. a man is caught on video abusing a cat. >> you see him whip the cat's head. >> how cops put the squeeze on a
9:03 am
suspect when an unlikely source ratted him out. it's the start of a journey to complete -- >> pretty amazing things. >> meet the dude who finally got sick of the desk job. >> just wanted to break out of the cube, man. and he's a good little eater. >> but aidan loved his food so much, aidan wants to share. >> why dad's not a fan of the baby bird syndrome. >> that's disgusting. they happened to catch this moment in magnolia, texas. >> you see blue trailer sitting on some train tracks. >> that's right. >> oh, my god. >> look out. [ horn beeping ] >> oh! wow. >> now, that blue trailer was carrying a multimillion dollar piece of drilling equipment. now, according to reports, as
9:04 am
the truck pulling this trailer was going across these train tracks, the clearance underneath these train crossing lights, that wasn't quite high enough. the drivers gout out to check the clearance. the trailer ended up on the tracks and the train, a union pacific train was coming around the corner, didn't have enough time to stop, ran right into the trailer. [ horn beeps ] and we have another angle of this crash also caught by a cell phone camera. it's much further away, but you can see the moment of impact. you can hear just a crashing of the metal. >> yeah. >> crazy that this stuff happens as much as it does. maybe you don't have enough time, if it's right around the corner, but -- we see this a lot. >> i agree. >> and we believe that that's the case in this instance, that there just wasn't enough time. the people who caught them on their cell phone cameras happened to be sitting at the red light that turned red
9:05 am
because the train was coming. 's they couldn't make it under the clearance and, therefore, couldn't get out of the way of the train. >> now they have a multimillion dollar mess. officials are still investigating. no injuries were reported as a result of this crash. we're all animal lovers here. these next two videos are going to be really tough for us to watch. two animal abuse videos. this first one from port st. lucie, florida. james fingo, 43 years old, accused of abusing his cat joey. recorded by a family member who was sitting there talking to fango -- >> 5,000 tokens. >> he's holding the cat down. you see him squeezing the cat's head, and then he picks the cat up. >> oh, gosh. no. i don't want to see anymore. >> turns it upside down and smacks it. >> that's heartbreaking. it looks like he could have easily broken that cat's neck. >> he was also accused of
9:06 am
twisting and pulling on the cat's ear. two different videos turned into police by the man's wife. he was arrested on an outstanding warrant for animal cruelty. according to examineations done by a vet on the cat, they say it has injuries consistent with chronic trauma to the cat's tail, and also showed damage to the cartilage of the cat's ears. so -- >> a normal person who's right in the mind does not do this to an animal that is their pet. >> let's head over to kansas city, missouri, where a dog is making a recovery. this german shepherd, witnesses say, flew off an overpass. about 40 feet high. >> oh. >> when you see the overpass, you can clearly see that there's tall fencing above the overpass. so everybody seems to believe, including the witnesses, that this dog was thrown from the overpass. the dog's name is lindy and when the dog was taken to the vet it was already determined the dog was underweight and also had worms. this 40-foot fall caused four
9:07 am
broken teeth a ruptured spleen, scraped its hind legs and tore all the ligaments and tendons in the front paws of the dog. you see the dog has two full casts on pt the german shepherd is expected to make a full recovery and nobody has yet come forward to claim this dog. >> this is terrible. you know what? if this is your dog and you fall on tough times and you just don't have the money, there are a lot of options. donations have already come in to help lindy out but the vet bills of future surgeries the dog is expected to need are expected to run around $10,000. >> oh, geez. this is a video they've been talking about in pittsburgh over the last few days. i told you guys about it. the teen, driving into the store. the original video we saw that. the teen identified at joseph angle. this from wpxi. you see from the exterior of the scene, going over the curb.
9:08 am
noecht who drives by on the street. there is a police cruiser drying by and the owner of the store thinks that may have spooked the 17-year-old, and he hits the gas instead of the brakes. >> because he didn't have a license. that's the theory that -- okay. well -- you can clearly see, though, he was trying to pull into a parking spot, where he would hit the brake he hit the gas. it's an accident, but he did just have a permit. >> and apparently told store workers he was trying to teach himself how to drive with one foot instead of two, but here's more video that shows he didn't leave the scene. goes back into the store. looking for stuff. picks up his side mirror. >> notice what's happening here. >> even after the crash, a customer comes in and buys a drink. >> the owner has something to say. remember, this is the second time a car has been driven into his store. >> i don't know. maybe thhe didn't like my hoagi prices. he drove in and drove out. >> he should consider putting in a drive-through.
9:09 am
this is one of those videos that might just inspire you to get up out of your chair and do something crazy. what we're seeing is tom smith, he's going to be 30 years old in september. he's a web application designer and he says, you know what? time to get out there and do some amazing things. in fact, 30 amazing things. so for his first one he's going to train for and participate in an organized run. one of those color runs we've been seeing. this one particularly in l.a. at dodger stadium, and it got all sorts of colors all over the place. looking like they're having a great time doing it. he made a list of 30, and this is just one thing. from january of 2013 to september of 2014, he's going to be completing these 30 amazing things, and to talk to us about what he's got planned next, we've got thomas smith coming to us from los angeles via skype. okay. so was it just a cubicle that
9:10 am
got to you too much? >> i've been working in an office 11 years. i just wanted to break out, break out of the cube, man d. that help you balance your life and your interests? >> i don't know. i think it made it worse. i think now i'm just obsessed with doing crazy things. i got skydiving coming up in april. possibly an atv excursion. i'm taking people's suggestions s. there something you wanted to do all your life that yump afraid to do bust you put it on your list anyway? >> i would see people skydiving and wondered why would they want to do this? that is not only something i'm scared to do i still don't want to do it. this is the color bomb. up see it in the last 30 seconds of the video. they give everyone a package of color. at the same time, everyone releaseshe col.o't see the came. the camera couldn't see me. it was ridiculous. >> one giant thing you're going to do and that is propose to your longtime girlfriend. >> yeah. that is something i'm really excited about. we've been together seven years.
9:11 am
>> is she going to know? you're on the show. >> we've talked about it during the show. definitely during an amazing thing. i'm keeping that a secret. >> how has this changed your attitude? >> it's changed how i look at life in general. a skier, accidentally gets a little air that he wasn't expecting to get. >> see how it was. the camera that really caught big air. and dude gets a very unwelcomed guest. >> and it's as big as -- >> a bomber. >> tear tac if you like shrimp, then you're going to love
9:13 am
sizzler's shrimp combos starting at just $9.99! four kinds of shrimp, seasoned just right and served in three new combinations. at sizzler! not much funnier than a guy screaming like a girl because he's scared of a little moth. >> holy [ bleep ] a little moth? pterodactyl. look at that thing. >> okay.
9:14 am
maybe it's not a little moth. that's huge, ginormous. >> oh my g[ bleep ] look at the size of that thing. >> it's believed to be one of the largest moths north of mexico. its wing span can be up to seven inches wide. >> ooh! >> take it to the outside! >> i swear to god -- >> somehow this moth ended up in their bathroom. this girl carries out the towel or whatever it's on. >> ah! >> get it away from me. >> it's just a large moth. >> the dude's not making us look good right now. at all, steven. >> that thing is freaking me out. >> if that thing escapes, i am going to [ bleep ] my pants. >> she gets it out the door. shakes the towel a little bit and the moth goes away. >> ah! >> and his full-on freakout continues. >> i like that his lady handled the situation, like, totally calm. in this guy's defense, you don't normally see something like that. it is quite spectacular to see a
9:15 am
moth that big in your bathroom. >> and it's okay to be surprised, but this guy lost his mind. they don't bite. they don't sting, and apparently they don't carry disease either. all they do is eat nectar from fruits. >> why do they call it the black night witch then if it's the nicest moth around? >> in mexico it's known at the moth of death. some believe that this moth flies into your home, and that person is sick that person is going to -- >> oh, boy. i get a kick out of seeing people fall. [ laughter ] so good thing people have the cameras to capture their falls. this guy has got a camera attached to his ski. >> oh, boy. >> and he's going back and forth. pretty unique angle. he accidentally gets a little bit of air that he wasn't expecting to get and captures this. >> oh, boy. >> ding, ding, ding, ding -- >> now time warp kind of video here. >> camera goes tumbling down the
9:16 am
snow with the guy. luckily, they both seem to come to a stop. and here's what we recovered from the camera. no problem. here's a snow border capturing his run. he has a mel hit omitt on but i isn't strapped. >> there's goes the helmet. >> held on to the stick. >> and got his helmet back. >> if you're going to the trouble of buying a helmet, wearing it, looking goofy wearing the helmet, at least strap it on because you see he clearly racks his head against the snow. the first time the helmet protects him. the second time, no helmet on because it fell off. >> i think he think it's held in place by the straps. >> not so much. what do we love here at "right this minute." >> we love snacks. >> we love it when yviewers sen us videos. this was sent to us by chris cowan in kansas. this is his dog, jack-dup.
9:17 am
>> get it? jacked up? >> and this dog loves to go to himsdale lake in kansas, and this dog-- >> are you kidding me? one of the tough ones, too. the stand-up jet ski. gets nestled it, takes it all in. >> and watches the scenery as life passes by. >> and got a doggy safety jacket on. i like his -- >> what happens if he falls? >> he gets -- "jack-dup." >> he's got his mouth open. this is a better version of sticking your head out of a car window, if you're dog. kniss is a video individu i half pike. see how he does it on the next "right this minute." and still to come, it's the latest thing blowing up the web and it's a real scream. >> ow. it's slicing these goats,

9:22 am
car? >> maybe you will. >> with a flask? and you might want to rethink drinking if so. >> if you're whiskey leaks out of a crummy flask because you were drag and didn't sustain that, how mad are you going to be? >> especially in you're mccallon. >> thank you. >> if you want at true man flask, the only one to have. ♪ what has had the internet in the a strangle hold as of late -- goats. goats. goats yelling like humans. millions of views on these videos of real goats yelling -- screaming -- making noises -- that sound like human making noises. >> of course when something becomes popular on the internet, people take it and do their own thing with it. now it's splicing these goats yelling like humans into music videos. like, fres, taylor swift's "i
