the scene of an avalanche. someone was caught in the snow and everybody, as you can see is trying to dig this rider out. they continue their snowmobiling and a second avalanche is triggered and aaron caught that on video, too. aaron immediately turns around and drives back up. >> is brent down there? >> you can hear him calling and asking his friend ifs they know where brent is. brent is under the snow. immediately, they swing into action. everybody in the group grabs their probes and start looking for their friend. it takes 15 minutes, then finally, they spot brent. >> come on brent. >> eventually, they are able to pull their friend out and he was okay.

to tell us more about this ordeal, we have brent and aaron via skype right this minute. what happened? >> it took me from behind and the side like a tidal wave. it was an avalanche. i'm rolling through the snow. i came to the rest. at that moment, i could feel and hear the snow piling up. >> describe what was going through your mind in that 15 minute period that you are under this snow. >> i remember thinking does anybody know i'm here? please come back for me. the next thought, man, what are my two girls going to do if i don't make it. >> how frantic are you knowing he's under the snow? >> nobody knew where he was. that's the scary thing. it's such a large area to begin looking for him. >> how hard was it to locate him? >> three feet from the snowmobile. there's no way of knowing that. >> brent! brent! brent! >> everybody settle down for a

second. >> when you saw brent's body, what was going through your mind? >> he was dead gray when we got him out and wasn't breathing, but he did have a pulse. as we tugged on him to free him from the snow, that's what triggered him to start breathing again. everyone started chanting, come on brent. we saw movement in his eye. >> i tell you i would not be here if it were not for aaron. there's no black or white about that. you are looking at two friends who met four years ago at a party in iowa that's paula o'brien, 39 years old on the right and abbey, 29 years old. we got the story from kwqc. they spoke to these two friends. >> when i was a little girl, they gave their baby up for adoption. it had an impact on me. i hoped to find her.

last week, she put this post on facebook. on september 19, 1982, my first niece was born and given up for adoption. one of my friends responded. i read it. i'm like september 19th. that's my birthday and i was adopted. how crazy would that be? >> abbey is paula's niece. >> no way. >> how mind blowing. >> she told me the birth parents names. i'm like it's me. it was just a surreal thing of is this really happening? >> does she start calling you aunt paula? >> this woman you like is really your relative? she just found this out but spent the past week reunited with members of her biological family and her biological grond mother is due to meet her for the first time. >> we prayed for this and for 29

years, we dreamed of this day. it's here. people shark fishing in kujo bay, florida. that's what they say is a long fin maco shark getting very, very close to the boat. >> is that a fish body? >> yeah. you can see the shark take the bait. it's crazy because at first you kind of see the shark examine it like something seems up about this fish. it's cut in half. something is fishy about this fish. >> yeah, it's just kind of dangling there. now the fight is on. you have to reel this thing in. it takes quite a bit of time. wait until you see this close up under the water, again. look how close the shark gets to the camera. you can see the hook in its mouth. the skin, like the scars on his

skin from fighting in wars. >> after they reel it in, they get it very, very close to the boat. >> ray? >> what? he's petting him? >> he's grabbing the line. the shark is close enough, he smacks it. gives it a good smack. they are unhooking it. awesome video they caught. you can see the shark super close up. i have ten minutes of stupidity and illegal behavior in this video. this is titled wowboyz. they are creating a stunt in and out of traffic, blowing through red lights at times. now i know, all of us are going to be like this is crazy, this is stupid. of course it is. can we give a little bit of credit to the skill and talent

of these guys? if they go to a stunt show, they can get paid for this. >> why isn't there a cirque du soleil for this? they are very talented, although illegal. >> there are areas they could do these stunts and not be in the middle of track, too. that's part of it. it's a thrill. nobody wants to watch them pulling these tricks in a parking lot. >> haven't we had them on our show before? >> yep, last summer, riding in the baltimore area. one-handed wheelies. here, a guy riding a quad. the group gets bigger and bigger. it goes to slow motion. iding a wheeli one-handed and waves to a police car on the corner. i don't know if there's a cop in the car or not. i don't know how you miss them. maybe there's so many the cops cannot do anything. i put in a call to the baltimore

police department but we did not hear from them by the deadline. >> there's a crazy, dangerous snake there. >> a bad temper responsible for more deaths in australia than any other snake. >> see it go toe-to-toe with the old man, next. >> and that's the guy, that's the girl. she's got a proposal. >> does she give him a bottle of scotch? >> she's asking in her own

i think once you get to a certain age, you stop caring about things like danger. venomous snakes, whatever. here we are in australia. an eastern australian brown snake made its way up here to the picnic area. it's hard to see at first. it's around where the birds are. a side note, an eastern

australia brown snake is the number one most dangerous snake in australia. highly dangerous. bad temper, responsible for more deaths in australia than any other snake. a guy's got to go to the bathroom. when a man's got to go, a man's got to go. is this a joke? >> no way. he kicked it twice. >> he kicks it once to get it out of the path and it coils up looking like it's going to attack him. when it attacks, he boots it in the face. eventually, the snake is like, i think i've met my match and starts slithering away. he goes to the men's room, no big deal. >> he was going to protect his prostate. >> at first, he tries to move it out of the way like it's a cigarette butt. >> like it's nothing. the snake, as it slithers away, i swear it looks back at him
