>> when they review the security video, it's clear o'neil didn't miss a beat. in fact, he turns his head before todd does. >> i think o'neil actually heard the car come up on the curb. then i heard the pop of the window. then i saw the car careening toward us. it was such an incident that you would never think would happen, especially them coming up the sidewalk in such a straight way and squeezing between the building and that concrete area. it just kind of shaved both sides of the car off. >> for danielle, actually seeing her near-death experience on camera is even more surreal. >> in my head, i was thinking did that even really happen. watching the camera, like, yes, it did. and -- seeing how close it did get just made it hit home a little more. >> it's also given danielle more perspective on the dangers and challenges facing those who are visually impaired. >> it made me really appreciate what our clients have to go through and the fact that i do have sight.

circling the block. bragner's cell phone fell on the pavement just out of camera range. the thieves find, it pick it up, and crime by as he's walking back to the bar. >> the guys, said, you want your phone back, give us the shotgun. i was still upsaid, so i bashed the window out with the gun knowing that the police could identify it a lot easier. >> after smashing in one of the car windows, bragner loses a chance to get his cell phone. he races back to the par with the shotgun in hand to -- the bar with the shotgun in hand to call police and report the incident. >> how can i help you? >> somebody tried to assault me and rob me with a shotgun pointblank. >> later that morning, i polia police detective who knows ken karen texts him to see if he has footage and is stunned by what he finds. >> i was in shock.

i don't think anybody expected to have that kind of video. i mean, it was pretty amazing. what surprised me is how quickly the guy reacted, the victim, and how quickly he thought to take the gun away. it's not something i certainly would recommend. >> bragner also says he doesn't recommend that others take such a risk. but he can't say he would take his own advice. >> i'm just one of those people, you get me in the corner, and i'm going to fight back. and i'm maybe not wise enough to, you know, try some other kind of tactic. >> investigators released the video to news stations and request the public's assistance in n identifying the man. 16-year-old carlos mcginnis turns himself in to the police and is charged with three counts of armed robbery. in march, 2014, mcginnis pleads guilty to three charges of simple robbery for his role in the street incident and another the night before. and he's sentenced to seven years in prison. neighbors say the proliferation of cameras is helping solve

crimes and is a growing trend in new orleans. >> the majority of the crimes, they're on video. there's a lot of cameras. coming up -- road hazards come in all shapes and sizes. >> my cell phone rang from work, and it was our manager of safety and security. i was like, this can't be good. and later, a police chase is forced to make way for ducklings? when "caught on camera: didn't see that coming" continues. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the nissan altima with nasa inspired zero gravity seats. ♪ let it take the weight off your drive. ♪ ♪ nissan. innovation that excites.

an unlikely bus passenger makes a dramatic entrance. >> i was driving, you know, i saw a brown flash in front of the driver's side window. and next thing i know, the right side window had something smashed into it. >> my cell phone rang from work, and it was our manager of safety

and security. and he said, "are you sitting down?" and i was like, "this can't be good." >> may 14th, 2013. johnstown, pennsylvania. cam transpokesperson josh yoder is at home when he gets an unusual call from his supervisor. >> said, i want to preface that i have not been drinking. he said, a deer jumped through a bus window. >> let's start at the beginning when cam tran city bus driver john porter is halfway through the regular evening shift. >> i was driving like, what are you going to do. looking for pastures -- >> as porter continues calmly down the road, he gets a surprise. the front windshield shatters as a deer topples into the vehicle. porter is so stunned, that at first he doesn't understand what's going on. >> i didn't actually see the deer come through the window because i was looking down the

road. i saw the deer beside of me at the front door area. >> the deer is just as stunned as the driver and struggles to escape. >> it tried to get back out the way it came in and pushed the window back out whethre it couldn't get out, then went around trying to get out. the bus had a lot of windows. >> fortunately the bus was empty except for one passenger way in the back. >> it was unusual for that time of day for the bus to be empty as it was. >> the deer is trashing around, desperately behind the driver's seat. and porter realizes they're in a dangerous situation. the deer might harm him, the passenger, or itself. >> i had to -- my wind open on the side -- my window open on the side of the bus. i was worried it would feel the air and would try to jump over me and get out there. >> porter decides his best bet is to let the distressed deer out the front door. but the new bus safety technology throws him a curve.

>> as a safety feature, the bus has to be completely stopped for the door to open. so he couldn't just open the door and allow the deer to get off. >> porter pulls over the bus and opens the door, the deer is all legs as it slips and slides on the floor. but it can't seem to figure out where the exit is. meanwhile, the lone passenger in the rear of the bus remains seated, calmly talking on her cell phone, apparently unperturbed by the unusual scene unfolding in front. well, the buck stops here. the deer finally finds its way to the open front door and exits. when yoder reviews the footage, he's impressed by his bus driver. >> i was totally amazed that -- that first and foremost the deer flew through the windshield with that much force and velocity, that our driver was able to keep his cool in a situation like that. i mean, safety was his top priority. he had a passenger on the bus. so he wanted to stop that bus

and -- you know, obviously protect the passenger that was on there. but also motorists that were passing by. >> i never heard of a bus driver hitting a deer before. now if it was a split second earlier it probably would have come through the driver's side window. a high-speed chase is stopped short by an unexpected roadblo roadblock. >> and that's when our friends walked out from the side of the road. i decided to try and get the ducks off the wrad. -- the roadway. >> may 12th, 2013. portland, oregon. officer mark james is with the city of portland's traffic division. on any given day, he deals are the normal traffic issues, duis, crashes, and speeding drivers. it's late afternoon on mother's day. officer james is parked on northwest bridge avenue, monitoring the cars heading downhill. it's a stretch of road where

drivers tend to go faster than they are supposed to. >> posted 35 miles per hour, both the bridge access and the bridge itself. who knows where people speed. i guess to get someplace faster. but it is a problem area as far as speeders go. >> it's raining lightly, but that doesn't slow down some drivers. a vehicle flies by officer james' parked car going well behalf the speed limit. >> the driver in this incident was going at 52 miles per hour, as they passed me in this 35 zone. >> officer james hesitates for a couple seconds to give the driver a chance to decelerate. >> i thought maybe they would slow down once they saw me. >> but police radar shows the driver clocking nearly 20 miles above the speed limit at the bottom of the hill. officer james takes off in pursuit. >> by the time i got to the highway, they were almost out of sight. i was probably going 50 to 55 miles per hour, trying to catch

up to the other driver. >> between the chase and the overcast skies, someone less observant might have missed the tiny moving objects on the road ahead. not officer james. >> it was a mama duck and her two babies. little ducklings. it took me a second to realize they were even there. they kind of blended interest the background of the pavement -- into the background of the pavement and the rain and whatnot. >> the duck family is in danger of being mowed down by traffic. officer james stops his cruiser in the middle of the road and gets out while the speeding driver gets away. >> at the time all i had was speed on him. so i just made a decision to stop for the ducks because there was a lull of traffic behind me that was stopped for a red light. >> officer james manages to herd the duck family in the right direction before the stoplight changes behind him and the cars start coming. >> she and her babies turned around and walked back to the ditch. i simply followed them over, made sure they jumped back in the ditch.

>> before disappearing, the mother duck gives the officer some attitude. >> she turned around and squawked at me a bit or quacked. and i told her to quit griping at me, that it was mother's day, and i was just trying to do her a favor. when the portland police department shares the video with the public, officer james gains a lot of fans. >> been plenty of comments on line and web pages. no pun intended. >> and the speeding driver, he or she escapes a $160 ticket. >> apparently it was the driver's lucky day. >> but it may be james' fellow officers who enjoy the incident the most. >> you know, names like officer duckville and some rubber ducks mysteriously appearing on my locker and duck signs and whatnot. things like that. but i was all -- good natured.

in san francisco and in cities from coast to coast, more and more massage parlors are moving into the business of sex for sale. >> do you know what they do here? >> massage? spa? >> a house of prostitution. >> behind iron gates like these, thousands of young women from asia and all across the world are bought and sold into sexual servitude. pleasing men on the hunt for a happy ending. >> he looks like he got what he wanted. look at that. >> this isn't just one or two girls.
