9:33 am
incident and was able to walk on his own after he broke through that firewall. take a very close look at this video. >> did he just jump out of the back of the truck? >> he totally just jumped out of that truck. that's not just any truck. and he's not just some dude. he is a prisoner that just escaped an actual police transport vehicle. >> he's being transported with two other men. and all three of them managed to make a run for it. >> you've got to have at least two officers in this transport van. >> and when did they notice that the -- they were stuck in traffic. did they see them in the rearview mirror, or not? i would imagine there was an, i thought you locked it, no, i thought you locked it, kind of conversation. >> it looks like they were able to slide -- see the top of the truck, how there's a sunroof, like a vent. >> ventilation. >> that's how they believe that the prisoners escaped.
9:34 am
one of the prisoners was recaptured. we don't know which one. >> bring them back into the prison? one of the investigators has them. he's bent over and his hands are down. i'm pretty sure his underwear is down, too. another video for you guys from russia. take a look at this man here with the yellow bag. he's hanging out a couple of men approaches. ask him for a smoke. he very kindly gives them a smoke. the guy with the glasses and if black sweater then picks the other guy's cigarette and lights the other guy's cigarette. look at what he does right after. >> whoa. uppercut. knocks the dude out. >> he knocks out that other ta stuff. he's been so nice to him. he gave him his cigarettes. he handed them over, yeah. have a nice day, fella. >> at least it's all on camera. this guy is not clinging to a sinking boat. that's actually a trailer full of surfing equipment that got
9:35 am
swept away by the tide. he's the owner. his name is chris hill of freedom surf. they noticed him. hooked the trailer up and started to tow it back into harbor. this happened off the coast of the uk. he came back in and started to move the truck and trailer before the tide came in but there were too many beachgoers on the beach. he couldn't get enough speed on this sand to get away from the tide. there were too many people around. the tide wound up coming in here to unhook his trailer. that swept away the trailer. his truck is, you can see here, his truck completely swamped under the water. the worst part about this story though, his freedom surf is his surf school for people with disabilities. overnight, looters went out into his truck, dove under the water, and stole wet suits, tools, and a vintage surf board worth about 900 bucks. >> you are kidding me? this is this guy's live lie hood and something he does out of the
9:36 am
goodness of his heart, and people took it upon themselves to take this guy's misfortune and make it their chance to get free stuff? >> yeah. it's so sad. they were able to get the trailer back into harbor but they couldn't recover the truck until this next day when the tide went out. i'm one of those people who believe that you reap what you sow and they're going to get it in the end. >> that's what chris hill, the owner of the owner, said, surfers had a sense of karma and do good and are disappointed in the people who did this, called them scum bags. nice one. look. >> wow. holy [ bleep ]. >> we've already seen the video of the fishtail to end all fishtails. you remember this, the boat was the huntress off the cape cod of massachusetts. these guys reeling in a 920-pound blue fin tuna, nine feet long. this thing was a sea monster,
9:37 am
you could say. they had captain kevin from the tv show "wicked tuna" helping these guys out but just a massive fish. when we saw them pull this thing up onboard, it didn't even look real. >> no, it looks like a whale. >> three hours to reel this thing in. drag the boat 4 1/2 miles. it was quite a fight. >> no one make any noise. >> wow. >> holy [ bleep ]. >> w >> two of the guys on the boat are joining us "right this minute" via skype. greg, i understand you're the one who sort of set this fishing trip up. did you have any visions of this happening? >> i was hoping that we would catch a fish but not anything of this magnitude. >> this thing first ends up on the line and is dragging you guys. did you think that it was a tuna? did you think you mhad hooked a sharp? shark? >> kevin knew. >> 15 minutes after we started. >> cracked that first one.
9:38 am
>> needless to say, i never dragged it. >> then we were basically one after another, every 10, 15 minutes we had to change out. five guys going. i'm dying after 10, 15 minutes. >> whoa. that guy only lasted five minutes because i was trying to fight this thing and didn't realize, i couldn't fight it because i didn't know. we saw it for the first time and we were all like, oh, like, wow, i couldn't believe it. >> did you guys start having shash sashimi as soon as you got it in the boat? >> how do you celebrate a catch like this? >> we don't know yet. we're in shock still. >> the problem we're going to have was basically ruined because when are we going to catch another 925-pound tuna? we may never, you know. >> yeah! >> dad makes a daring climb to make the catch. >> pulls the branch down. >> branch first. climbing it like a rope. >> see how his motherly
