bum - bum - bum -bum ♪ i'm beth trout mb. time for the best videos from the web and the stories behind them "right this minute." a power boat wipes out and -- >> does a back flip. >> find out why the driver is one lucky dude. it's a photo of a little girl with leukemia. but some believe this is a miracle caught on camera. who her mom thinks is watching over her daughter. >> i know she's not alone. i know we're not alone. one guy makes a steep hill climb look easy. >> not too much. >> in y it's a long way to the
9:01 am
bottom of this challenge. and some folks answered an ad for a roommate and got a chilling prank instead. >> this one pushes the envelope. >> this is evil. >> see why by evil she means really funny. i guess this is why you do a practice run. this is in australia. bruce jordan driving the boat known as the real thing. watch this. >> whoa. >> flips around all over the place. this was during a warm-up session for the 2013 world apba speed kilo trial. you see he gets airborne, spins around, does a backflip, bounced all over the place. you think bruce has to be hurt after a wreck like this. but you might know they have safety capsules on boats like
9:02 am
this. bruce was totally fine thank to the safety capsule. he may have just walked away with a broken wrist. >> he was okay but probably lost a few poiarts off the boat. >> may have to take it to the shop before you get it back out there. here's a still of the real thing. you can see the front of that boat, the whole top panel of that thing ripped off. chunks of the wood taken off. bruce is okay. when you see this the first time you are thinking, oh, boy, this is bad. i'm imagining the g-force he's must have felt as the boat flipped backwards, hit and quickly changed direction and went the other way. imagine how that must have felt inside that capsule. like you are on a bad roller coaster ride. pay very close attention to this video. a minivan pulls up to this gas station and then it just sort of
9:03 am
stops. well look very closely at what's going on because there is a heist happening right in front of our noses. can you see it? >> no. this looks like a parked car. >> this mini van was rigged. there's a hole at the bottom. they pulled up to the cap that covers the diesel fuel tank and with a tank inside the minivan, were able to siphon 650 gallons of fuel worth thousands of dollars. what do you do with that gas? is there a gas black market where people are selling like five gallon tanks of gas? no word on actually what they think these people are doing with it, but another gas station was hit in exactly the same manner. both happened on friday night. you do see on a different angle that there was another truck parked in the car wash serving as the lookout for the people in
9:04 am
the minivan. weo get a somewhat clear shot of the man that was in the truck hoping somne would recognize itnd it's part of the reason why police released this video. a photograph is getting a lot of attention online. and some people believe that this is a miracle caught on camera. we got this story from woio. take a look at this photo. >> my reaction immediately was, it's mary, they hear us. she's there. >> erin's parents kevin and jen potter believe that this is the virgin mary. and let me tell you more about this story. little 9-year-old erin was first diagnosed with leukemia when she was 3 years old, back in 2007. this photograph was taken just after she found out that the leukemia had come back for the third time. and just before she was facing a second bone marrow transplant. >> i didn't necessarily see it as a sign that erin is fine and going to make it walk out of
9:05 am
this. but what i took it as a sign of, you know, we're watching over her. >> you can almost make out a face. you can make out a robe. it certainly seems like something that might be seen as a miracle. >> whatever happens, you know, knew there was something pretty powerful and special there with us. >> i definitely have my moments where i'm falling apart and i'm terrified. and i literally will grab my phone and i stare at that picture. >> as of right now, 9-year-old erin is cancer-free. >> they are going through a tough time right now and anything that they can find to provide some sort of comfort and strength, and that's all. [ bleep ]. >> it's hard to believe not a single person was hurt in this factory fire that happened over the weekend in the uk. this is in the town of holl hollowell. i think his words sum it up. this is a fire at a coat hanger plant. and as you can see there, large
9:06 am
explosions. police say that the explosions actually came from compressed gas containers that were outside of the building. this building has 200 employees but everybody got out okay. even though some of the explosions knocked people on their bottom. >> [ bleep ]. >> nearby residents were told to stay in their homes, close their windows. lots of people uploaded videos of this fire. one man said not only was this thick black smoke visible from everywhere but had a toxic smell. burning plastic, burning materials. really, really toxic. >> this factory looks like it's in the backyard of this residential nairbeighborhood. it's black smoke rolling and pretty quickly. took about 80 firefighters to get this thing under control and put out. >> end of the earth looking stuff. >> cause is still unknown. a fox walks into the yard and these two cats decide, you know what?
9:07 am
we don't need a guard dog. we'll take care of him ourselves. see how the cats show the fox who is boss. and guy shows off a mustang at a performance expo. >> takes it up slowly and then gives it the beans. >> see why this test turns into one big bust. ñáçwçñ

9:09 am
when you live on a volcanic island of fire and ice, motor sports look like this. this is in iceland at a hill climb championship. that guy makes it look easy. the rest, not so much. hard to do it with just three wheels. that guy -- >> whoa! >> -- last rear wheel breaks off and goes rolling down the hill. here's another guy. takes a shot at it. he comes down unceremoniously end over end. >> what's all that green stuff? >> it's slime.
9:10 am
they'll put it in the tire. if you get a puncture in the tire, that slime will seal it up. it's like self-healing. >> i'm not surprised most of them are having a hard time doing it. >> if it was easy it wouldn't be fun. wouldn't be a challenge to it. >> that guy was doing cartwheels. >> left and right. >> he kind of painted the whole side of that little mountain before he came down. >> bless his heart. this guy -- >> oh, wow. no way. >> spin over down the hill. let's get a couple of wins. that's all you need. simple. >> that guyis du >>hat was an awesome finish. a couple of videos that show
9:11 am
you animals being put back where they belong. we start in florida where this young lagerhead turtle was found floating. why? >> there was a lot of plastic in the ocean and she got confused and ate a little bit of it. >> she was taken to the hospital, given a clean bill of health and returned to the water. >> turtle is like, heck yeah. >> if i just saw a sea turtle floating, i would think that's kind of normal. how did somebody have the insight to know, gee, the turtle doesn't look like it's doing well. >> usually they swim under the water. if i saw one floating i might think something is wrong with it. since it swallowed plastic and made it float, it was probably in distress. this fox wasn't in the hen house, but it was where it shouldn't have been and these two cats decide, we don't need a
9:12 am
guard dog. we'll take care of him ourselves. and they are doing what they can to get this fox out of the backyard. they go behind the shed. >> it's like having a nature program flight your neighbor's backyard. these cats are like, you got to get out of here. the cats jump on the fence and get the fox to get out of the yard. these cats were being rude. they were not being inhospitable. >> if you don't want a fox in your henhouse you certainly don't want to boss around your cat. have you been saving up for a samsung galaxy s4. you got the opportunity to win one. here at this train station there's a display. if you can look directly into this samsung galaxy s4 for 60 minutes, it's yours. >> you can't look away for anything. you have to keep your eyes on the phone. >> you break eye contact, you lose. and they didn't make it easy. >> as these people are trying to complete this task, all kinds of crazy stuff happens.
9:13 am
