9:34 am
what appears to happen in this video. this is christopher lamotte hanging out in the parking lot waiting for other friends to show up. before they go into the liquor store and buy alcohol. you can see he has a can in his hand and the can is clearly open. shortly after the video starts recording, a man walking up and demands to see the can. he says it is an arizona iced tea, half and half. >> half tea and half lemonade. >> you told me. >> show me your badge. he looks like some guy dressed like my neighbor. >> he does look like just anybody. it is an undercover police officer. he does work for the alcohol, beverage control law enforcement. >> you don't know if he is real yet. showing no badge or nothing. >> casing for no reason. >> for what? >> what?

9:36 am
tea to the officer and was invasive and wouldn't let the officer inspect the can and the officer still had his suspicions based on prior experience. >> you asked him to leave based on the assumption that was alcohol. you were wrong. >> it is an interesting video. it has gone viral. i am sure we will have updates about this as the weeks go on. heavy rains being called the worst in parts of saudi arabia are causing severe flooding. this is one of the videos that shows how bad these floods are as people are stranded. they're walking to over where the water is and obviously the flood is completely blocked the road. as the camera pans over, you can see the floods are creating a giant river. >> i am glad to see they parked the cars and they are waiting. >> you speak too soon. as the camera pans over, the driver of this suv decided maybe they can take it but the water
9:37 am
immediately starts taking the car. >> this suv is being dragged and at the very end of the video you see that it is about to sink. >> i am pretty sure this guy right here is recording the video that i am about to show you next which captures the same driver driving into the flood waters and basically disappeared into the water. >> i have a third angle that shows us where it ended up and aamazingly it got stuck in that tree. >> oh, wow. >> look at that. >> as the water is still pushing past it and according to some reports with the use of ropes they were able to rescue everyone in that car and everybody is alive. >> you're looking the a giant mud hole in sydney, australia. >> excavator working in the mud hole. guys probably wondering why are you showing us a mud hole?
9:38 am
look really closely if you will. what do you see. >> a lot of mud. >> keep watching. did you see something there? >> are they pulling a worker out, went for a mud bath? >> it was a spa day for the workers. no. right there. watch as the excavator dumps this out. you will see exactly what this is. >> a dragon? >> a unicorn? >> fine guesses. except maybe tunicorn. >> it is a kang ka radio. >> they spotted this kangaroo covered in mud. you can barely make out the ears and the long tail. you can see one of its arms and it is still moving surprisingly because it is so covered in mud. >> he is really stuck in there. they have to push him out. >> they were able to dig this kangaroo out. >> and then the kangaroo regains its strength and ended up
9:39 am
cleaning ifrts off a bit and hospitalized on its way and no worse for the where. maybe you were right, instead of the workers the aa spa, maybe this kangaroo was at a spa. >> it doesn't look eager to get out of the mud. i think it was doing a treatment. >> according to the posters of the video they said he was totally fine and the guy at the end of the video is both thumbs up to the camera. red means stop. these videos prove that's not always the case. >> this light was read for six seconds when this person blew through this light. >> why running a red is never a good idea. and they call it the rodeo slip and slide. find out how this wild ride works and see it not go as e?w
9:40 am
9:42 am
get off! >> that woman was allegedly trying to hide $12 worth of stuff at the dollar tree in north carolina. that is the store manager. he confronted her. he said pay for those or put them back. apparently she got confrontat n confrontational and decided to take her down because she made a run for the door. >> she has a bad back and a bad sense of decisioning making, too. >> it gets better. >> you're hurting me. >> what? >> he is grabbing my breast. >> however, he actually wasn't and she was just screaming and sounds at this point she is trying to pull every shot she can. >> he is trying to wrangle her to the ground and i am sure he did brush that area. i don't know this guy. i doubt he was like trying to cop a feel. >> in this case everyone basically sided with this guy.
9:43 am
he was able to finally detain her and she did end up getting cited for shoplifting. get this. reports are saying while this was happening her two kids were in the car waiting. >> unbelievable. >> that's the worst part of all this. >> uh-huh. boys, i am going to preface this video by saying do not try this at home. this is from the youtube channel and it is called the rodeo slip and slide. >> oh, boy. >> these two set up a slip and slide loaded down with what looked like soapy water, a couple of targets. they light the targets on fire and there is one dude at the end of the slip and slide. they tie a rope to his ankle and the other end of the rope is attached to that suv. >> this is spectacular. roll it. >> oh. >> oh, my god.
9:44 am
>> stop. >> you first get dragged by this suv and you see him pop back his led. head. >> he hit the targets but he missed the soft landing. it looks like they dragged him up and over that. >> there was a kiddy pool at the end and he missed the pool and the mattresses in the dirt. >> are you all right? >> his friends are laughing, maybe the slip and slide next time down a hill and land in the kiddy pool. don't tie your ankle to a car. green, yellow, red, means green. >> green means go. yellow means caution. red means stop. >> right. >> a series of red light running video from our friends at american traffic solutions, the first one from miami garden. this person blows through the light, realizes it halfway, slows down, don't know what that

9:46 am

9:52 am
she says three weeks after that they're still happy and ka sororitying together. they have struck up a friendship. >> the rabbit is looking to the horse for a little bit of security and backup. if this thing was a pet, letting it out is pretty much telling it to go get eaten. >> knows nothing about the outside world. >> first of all, it is on a horse farm. it will find some kind of food there. you have grass the rabbit will eat and watch how close of friends they have become. >> they're snuggling. >> they're nuzzling and then they go for wacky hygiene. >> the pony picked the rabbit up by the ears and listen to the reaction. >> oh.
