tv Caught on Camera MSNBC February 14, 2015 4:00pm-5:01pm PST
4:00 pm
passion of his, cliff diving. that way he'll always be able to find the water. that's all for this edition of "caught on camera." i'm contessa brewer action packed. dramatic. and, well, what can we say about this? you may think the u.s. is the caught on camera capital. but check out what the, motion of cameras in cars and all over the place has meant in russia. >> when i see a new video from russia, it's a little bit like christmas morning. you never know what you're going to get when you open that box. >> intense crashes that will make you do a double take. wild road hazards.
4:01 pm
dangerous heights. and shocking sights. >> russia just keeps on delivering the craziest most unbelievable videos offer ever seen. >> videos that americans can't stop watching. caught on camera, eyes everywhere. >> a violent blast. >> it exploded with the force of never nuclear bombs. >> shakes a city to its core. >> i'm up on the 23rd floor and i could feel the building swaying >> russia, about 1,000 miles southeast of moscow. it's february 15th, 2013, and the sunrises at 9:17 a.m. but minutes later, something
4:02 pm
very different is lighting up the sky. >> compared to the sun at that point, it was like way brighter than the sun. it was like turning on a light bulb for the entire earth at that moment. >> it's literally parts of the sky look like it's on fire. >> no one knows what they're seeing yet, but its force is captured on several security videos, cell phones and dash board cameras. >> what is this thing in the sky? is it a plane? is it a planet? is it going crash and hit us is is it an alien? >> this isn't an alien but it is from outer space. a meteor is hurtling toward earth at a frightening speed. >> it's going about 40,000 miles per hour. >> [ bleep ]. >> [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> that's more than 50 times faster than the speed of sound. and scientists estimate that the meteor weighs 10,000 tons. that's heavier than four space shuttles.
4:03 pm
>> i've seen shooting stars and small meteor paths, but i've never seen this one big before, and it really blew my mind. >> as the meteor plunges toward earth, friction and pressure between the rock and the atmosphere cause it to heat up and catch fire. >> the outer portion can be holton. the atmosphere is breading them off as they melt. you see a trail behind them, different ions of gas blow at different colors. the pressure wave caused it to explode that gives off both heat and light. >> this explosion happens when the rock is about 14 miles above the earth's surface. the intense blast is felt by the unsuspecting population below. >> i heard this extremely loud noise that shook my apartment so much that my light fixtures were swinging. it blew the vents out of my bathroom and there was debris on the floor.
4:04 pm
>> this thing comes into the atmosphere and it builds up a pressure wave in front of it because the air cannot move out of the way. and it came in at a shallow angle, and so as it was exploding, pressure waves were coming down on to the buildings below. it's about 20 times the explosive energy of the hiroshima and nagasaki bombs in world war ii. >> security video from the local judeio class captures the moment in which the shock wave hits. >> there's a moment in which the window on far side of that shatters and the curtains actually blow into the actual classroom, and the kids start running away. >> the bang blew out windows across the entire city. thousands and thousands of windows were smashed. >> the meteor disintegrates during the explosion, sending tons of debris up into the atmosphere. but small pieces of the space rock make it to earth. >> they entered the snow and
4:05 pm
caused little snow tubes and the pictures of them are fascinating. >> eight months after the blast, divers recover a large rock from the lake. about 60 miles outside the city. it's believed to be a chunk of the meteor and weighs more than 1200 pounds. a meteor collision with the atmosphere of this magnitude happens once in a lifetime. all the more remarkable that this one is caught on so many cameras. >> the fact that there were so many videos taken of this rock as it entered and people for other reasons had all these dashcams in russia, who knew? >> the dash cam phenomenon rose in the late '90s, when police were sick of being extorted by the police when they got stopped or there were lots of like scams to kind of fake accidents to get the insurance. >> the dashcam ras on this day didn't help to solve crime.
4:06 pm
but did capture this rare, natural phenomenon. >> this is something really extraordinary that happened to regular people who don't happen to be actors. it's not hollywood produced. that's why people find it more interesting and more real. >> the media blast was one of the most watched dash cam videos of all time in that category. >> the explosion causes $33 million worth of daniel to the city of chelubysnk. more than 1,000 people are injured, mostly by flying glass but there are no fatalities. >> the fact that we're capturing these things on video is a reminder we're very small people in this big galaxy but it reminds us how vulnerable we can be. >> coming up -- don't bat an eye or you'll miss this. and a crash you have to see to believe. >> this collision is intense. it's fast. it's almost over as soon as it starts. >> when "caught on camera: eyes everywhere" continues. (melodic, calm music.)

4:10 pm
horrific crashes. bizarre sights. all captured on dash cam when driving on the road in russia. orenburg, russia, more than 900 miles southeast of moscow, july 4, 2012. a camera on a public bus captures a jaw-dropping accident. >> up ahead, you can see on the right, there's a gas station. >> but on the left, a truck is waiting to make a turn. >> this truck trying to make a left turn into a gas station. they seem to be not paying any attention. >> my sense is that he thought he could probably beat the bus. >> the vehicles barrel towards the gas station and head straight for this man.
4:11 pm
>> it's not so much the collision of the truck that's scary, but then you see this one guy, and this one guy is backing up, literally feet away from these two monster-sized trucks. >> the video shows huge pieces of both vehicles flying toward him as he scrambles to get out of the way. somehow he manages not to get hit. but he's caught, among a bus, a truck, and a fuel pump. this can't be good. >> you can see the look on his face changes from sheer terror to sheer shock, and now this kind of moment of disbelief like, what just happened? >> the man is visibly shaken, staggering out of camera range. but not out of harm's way. >> you're just kind of waiting for that next moment. like even though he's fine for the meantime, something's going to go off and then just have a chain reaction of explosions of this gas station. >> customers seem to have the same idea, and scatter fast. >> as people were seeing this unfold, there were a lot of
4:12 pm
cries to turn off the gas pumps and miraculously they turned them off at the right moment. a perfect storm of bad and good all happening at the same time. >> 30 passengers are on the bus during the accident. but no one is seriously hurt. when the video makes its way around the internet, the man in the white shirt is dubbed "the luckiest man in russia." people love near-misses. i mean to narrowly escape basically being pummeled like that, pretty darn lucky. >> if this is a narrow escape, what is this? september 19, 2012, a dashboard camera on a car captures a violent crash as it unfolds. >> this collision is intense. it's fast, it's almost over as soon as it starts. >> there's a car driving behind a larger truck and then the truck goes to turn and smashes right into the front of another
4:13 pm
truck. >> actually another vehicle that stopped just ahead and i suspect both of these drivers were trying to avoid some sort of situation involving that vehicle. >> your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. the video shows a man flipping through the windshield. >> standing there, thinking, i just got into a car wreck. i literally just came out of the front window, but i'm completely fine. >> when the driver of the blue truck walked away, it's like he's playing it cool, yeah, i'm all right, i got it. >> scratching his head, that's a natural movement when you're kind of unsure of what just happened. i love that he did that because he wasn't freaking out. he was just kind of contemplating what just happened. >> crazy crashes aren't always between two vehicles on the road. december 29, 2012, moscow, russia. a car with a dash cam is driving down a highway.
4:14 pm
>> dashboard cameras on the road always seem to start the same way, everything's going fine, we're on the road, just driving along. when you see a dashboard camera though you know, wait a few seconds, something will happen. >> that something is a commercial plane crashing on approach to the nukovo airport. it slides off the runway at more than 100 miles per hour. >> all of this debris is on the highway hitting cars. >> you can hear pieces of the plane dropping as it breaks apart. >> and in one case, what looks like a wheel from the landing gear slides right on to the road and hits a car. >> i mean, it was probably one of the things you're driving down the highway, and all of a sudden is, your car's careening toward the wall and wondering what just happened. >> many of us have been in a situation where we have to act quickly on the road. but very few of us is in a situation where a plane is crashing and debris is coming at us.
4:15 pm
>> you see seats from the airplane and you don't know what's coming next. the feeling of terror and fear that must be going through this driver's mind is impossible to imagine. how many people can say they know what to do when a plane hits their car on the road? >> it's a crazy situation. >> the red wing's airlines plane, flight 9268 was coming in from the czech republic. faulty brakes are blamed for the crash. eight crew members are on board at the time of the accident, three survive. no one on the ground is injured. >> a miracle was there weren't actually commercial passengers on this plane. it's actually pretty amazing that more people weren't lost in this instant. >> a plane doesn't have to crash. to shock drivers on the road. august 9, 2012, it's a cloudy amp in volgagrad, russia and something is looming in the gray skies above.
4:16 pm
>> you see this little black dot, it's coming closer and closer. you realize it way bigger than a small, black dot. looks like a spaceship, kind of. >> it seems like it's out of nowhere. a 1960s russian fighter jet, bursts out of the sky and comes directly for their car. >> the combat aircraft is an su-24 like this one, designed for low-level strike missions. it can travel at speeds of up to 817 miles per hour. that's nearly 15 times faster than russia's official speed limit for the freeway. >> and you can actually hear like that blast of sound that comes when a fighter jet just appears. and the woman in the car screams. or maybe that was the guy, because i would scream like that woman as well. and then just keep driving. just keep going. you know, just another day in russia, why not? >> after the video goes viral, military prosecutors investigate airfield safety measures and flight records.
4:17 pm
but it's still not clear why the pilot is flying this close to a public road. >> i don't know if you noticed but the pilot is on the wrong side of the street. he should really be more to the left. it's big. it's fast. >> in this case, there's no warning. >> and it could crush you. russia, january 26, 2013. a driver heads down the road with his dashboard camera, capturing the bright sunlight and, more importantly, the road ahead. >> things seem to be going fine and then suddenly, out of nowhere, a tank literally just whooshes right in front of traffic. >> if i was driving down the street and i saw a tank driving down the street, i'd probably wave just to make sure the guy wouldn't shoot me. >> but this tank operator only seems focused on getting to the other side of the road.
4:18 pm
>> no one, when they set out on the road thinks, oh, i better watch out for tanks. never happens. >> the tank barely misses the cars in front. but this driver with the dash cam cautiously stops to let it pass. or maybe he stops because that's what he's supposed to do. the traffic signal is clearly red. >> americans are exceedingly well behaved motorists. i mean, we actually pretty much stick to the speed limit and stop at stoplights. it's a bit of a free for all in many other places. >> this is an unusual sight but why did the tank cross the road? turns out the t-90 armored vehicle belongs to a local tank factory nearby and is on an afternoon test drive. though it's not visible on the dash camera, the tank is on a snow covered designated path and the working traffic light gives it the right of way. >> i've never seen videos like this in the united states. mostly because they tend to keep the military equipment under lock and key a little bit tightly. >> coming up -- an eye for an eye.
4:19 pm
and ever talk your way out of a ticket? this driver has a very different idea. >> he knew that he was going to get a ticket and he was worried about that? well, now he's got a person on the hood of his car. when "caught on camera: eyes everywhere" continues. sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 60,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire. so you can make owning a business even more rewarding.

4:22 pm
a parking lot becomes a demolition derby showdown. but who settles the final score? >> nowadays, everyone wants to capture the big event on video and this person caught some good stuff. >> vernal, a city in siberia, russia. it's september 3, 2012, and a camera captures an outrageous scene in a packed parking lot. >> and this is a classic case of someone who should not be operating any vehicle, let alone this piece of equipment and, as you can see, he is making a hot mess of this parking lot.
4:23 pm
>> it's like tearing everything up, pushing the cars into one another. and he goes to the other side of the parking lot and does the same thing. alarms are going off. it's just a huge mess. >> he wasn't targeting a single car. seemed like he didn't know where straight was. >> the person recording the video isn't the only one watching this demolition man go to work. >> when you see the guys running to the tractor, you think, good, they're going to pull him out, stop this whole thing, it's going be fine. >> not exactly. >> a man runs out, climbs the tractor-trailer, opens the door and proceeds to punch the driver in the face multiple times. one, two, three, four, five. >> that man owns one of the damaged cars. the others are onlookers who jump in, attempting to dethrone the driver. >> well, he shouldn't be driving, but they shouldn't hit him. god, it's so conflicting morally, isn't it? >> in case you missed it during the commotion, someone has been riding shotgun this entire time. he's yanked out of the tractor,
4:24 pm
but most of the attention is focused on the man behind the wheel. >> it looks like everyone's on the same team here. they just want to get that guy out of there. if they rough him up a bit, so be it. they don't seem to care. >> when the barnaul traffic police arrive on the scene, the violence stops, but the man has already taken quite a beating. >> cars can be replaced. your face, not so much the >>. >> the driver daniels seven cars on his short ride. no criminal charges are filed. against anyone. >> you're picking the thing that guys love, it's like their baby, you're ruining their cars. the only thing that would be worse is running a tractor over all their girlfriends. >> [ bleep ]. >> if you think this tractor video is intense, wait till you see this joy ride. april 23, 2013. it's only 7:30 on a tuesday morning and this speed demon is already raising hell in moscow.
4:25 pm
a two-way dashboard camera is perfectly positioned to record his bumpy ride. >> you see this guy driving. and he's moaning and screaming. >> he's unable to sit still and continues to scream while he's driving as if some demon has taken possession of his body. >> to make matters it a lot worse, the car he's driving is a hijacked police car. he takes the vehicle while an officer is giving a ticket to someone else and flies through the street. >> he really screwed up there, or maybe he didn't. maybe there was just one last moment of glory. >> it's one thing to steal a car, that's wrong, but stealing a cop car is wrong and stupid. i don't know what the russian word for cajones is but it takes a lot of the russian word for cohones to steal a police car. >> the driver screams even louder as he loses control.
4:26 pm
slamming into a concrete divider outside a busy tunnel. >> the air bags go off, he bounces off the air bag, not wearing a seat belt on to the passenger side and runs out into the street in which other cars are honking at him. >> like how at that moment a first look after panic in his face. >> he doesn't appear hurt, but you don't see what's happening off camera, as he exits the car. he gets hit by oncoming traffic and is rushed to the emergency room and treated for a fractured skull. he's charged with unlawful occupancy of a vehicle, without the purpose of stealing. he pleads guilty. hijacking a police car for a joy ride, that's bad. but taking the police on a ride with you, that's even worse. july 29, 2013, moscow, russia. this officer is making a routine traffic stop. but there's nothing routine about what happens next. >> rather than actually pull over, he hits the cop and keeps driving.
4:27 pm
now the policeman is on the hood of the car, yelling at the guy as he continues to basically speed down the streets. >> this is somebody who can arrest you. >> and the windshields come on, it's like, are you serious? i'm on the hood of your car and you turn on windshield, you're going to prison, son. >> there must have been some point where he knew he was past the point of no return. he knew he was going to get a ticket and he was worried about that? now he's got a person on the hood of his car. so things just got a lot worse. by the way, this policeman has a really good grip. he's hanging on and he's not giving up. >> the officer's ride on the hood of the car comes to an abrupt stop. >> the cop rolls out of the shot and the driver turns to the left and keeps going. the cop is suddenly nowhere to be seen. >> the cop tumbled off the car, it looked like it was at a low enough speed and off to the side where the cop wasn't going to be seriously injured. >> the officer is taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries.
4:28 pm
after two days on the run, the driver is arrested, his license is suspended, and he's charged with the use of violence against a representative of an authority. he pleads guilty and apologizes for his actions that day. >> i think it maybe takes a little bit more than an apology. not only did the cop drive around on your hood forever but now everyone in the world has seen it. maybe a nice dinner and a beer, too. >> coming up -- eye-popping views from above that will make your palms sweat. and do you trust your friends enough to let them do this to you? sncht screaming ] when "caught on camera: eyes everywhere" continues. i have the worst cold with this runny nose.
4:29 pm
4:30 pm

4:31 pm
4:32 pm
details. it is not clear yet if this is connected to an earlier shooting in which one person was killed and several others wounded in an attack at a free speech event. we'll continue to follow the story for you and bring you more news as it develops. now we're going to take you back to our programming. extreme risk. >> it's crazy. that is crazy. >> at dangerous heights. >> if you fall from doing that, like, your friends are done. >> cheating death with every move. >> urban climbing, an understated name for a death-defying activity. climbers scale tall structures and document every dizzying moment. >> any security guards working in the russian building know their building is liable to be approached by one of the people who wants to get to the top. >> then they post videos of their adrenaline-pumping stunts on the web, hoping for internet stardom.
4:33 pm
>> you get this recognition for, first of all, having very amazing physical skills and it creates these mini celebrities. >> elektrastal, russia, this man, in the green shirt, and his friends practice in local parks at ground level. but on may 13, 2012, they take their routine to new heights, attempting to taste a slice of internet fame. >> we simply were ready for this, both physically and psychologically for a few years. so we decided to try it for ourselves. >> but will all of them survive to upload the video? >> part of you is wondering, is one of them going to fall? is one of them going to get hurt? what's going to happen? >> when they reach the top of this radio tower, this is what happens. >> anything that you want to do in the gym, they took it to another level. like this is what we do in russia.
4:34 pm
we do push-ups but not like stupid push-ups like you guys do. we do push-ups on top of giant structures. >> they're pumping iron, literally. a lot of the other videos that i've seen, you're guaranteed to be maimed or perhaps brain injured, but here, you're going to die. >> if this makes you nervous, brace yourself. they're just warming up. >> you see one of the guys hanging out on the side of the tower, basically using his hands and then removing them from the structure so that he's literally floating for a flit second. >> if he fails, the drop is 700 feet. that's about the height of a 65-story skyscraper. >> i can hear that guy's mother going, stop it, get down from there! get down from there! >> i think this guy in the green is like the most badass of them
4:35 pm
all because he's all over the place. looks like he's wearing leggins, which is a great fashion statement. >> even if he's wearing leggings, he's definitely not wearing a harness, and he says he's got a good reason for that. >> translator: safety ropes and safety equipment are, first of all, a pain in the neck. you become excessively dependent and attached to them which means you have to get everything right even more. >> as if there's any room for error when performing stunts 700 feet above the ground. >> translator: i did all of the moves a certain way. i did what i knew i could do physically. if i could do it 50 times on the ground, i could do it 50 times up there. >> there's a stereotype about russian fatalism which i think can be really overplayed but seems to be real when it comes to issues of health and safety. the traditional add ject has been basically, you know, well, whatever happens happens. it's not in my hands. >> the three friends climb down the radio tower and post the video, showcasing their nerves.steel. >> translator: we showed other
4:36 pm
people what the body's able to do physically. we wanted to motivate them. this was a small goal that i achieved. >> the success of an urban climb is measured in two ways, getting back to the ground safely and getting lots of attention on the internet. >> everybody wants to have that video that goes viral. >> he gets over 1 million hits in the first week. >> you know, the secret to our popularity in this activity is that we are the first ones who did it. we combined a workout, which is strength element that is employed on horizontal bars and parallel bars with extremes at a height. >> a million views in the first week and climbing are hard to beat. but others have achieved similar success. >> there's another viral video where a young man is climbing the top of a skyscraper in moscow and it's got a star at the top of it. so essentially, he's reaching for the stars. >> the star sits on top of one of the seven sisters, famous skyscrapers built by stalin.
4:37 pm
>> what's disturbing about this is in the notes he actually apologizes for the shaky camera because it was in his mouth for a while because he needed his hands to avoid dying. it's suspenseful to see him do it. even as he finishes, he's like, oh, oh. >> oh, oh! >> you can see that he's terrified himself doing this. >> when the videos first started coming out, there was a cynical response of, he's going to fall, what an idiot. and then, you know, as anybody that has enough exposure on the internet, eventually you'll get fans and followers. >> we love watching russians do stunt like this, partly because we believe they're filled up with vodka when they do it. they're probably not. it requires sobriety to pull it off safely. >> dare devils scale buildings and towers, but the girl in this video flies. >> i challenge anyone to watch this video with a straight face. >> this video shows a group shove a girl off of a roof
4:38 pm
attached to what looks like a home made bungee cord. >> that's the epitome of peer pressure. listen, listen, we've got a great idea. there's a building outside of town, and i think i figured out how to fling you off the side of it without getting you killed, you in? >> the girl plunges toward the ground and swoops dangerously close to the edge of a building. >> you just kind of want to see how it ends up. is she going to smack into the building, is the bungee going to snap? >> she screams like she's going to die. i mean, she's swinging so close to this apartment building. this is where reality sets in you're like, i might die now. >> the video shows her narrowly mis-hitting the building. suspended several stories below her friends, she does not appear hurt. >> i'm glad that i emigrated when i was 9 years old because i would have totally been doing that. >> russians have a lot of
4:39 pm
respect for what they're going to call raw human nature. it's like don't, you know, that's what people do. kind of you're on the edge. but you have this enormous sense of freedom, precisely because you're taking a risk. >> this is an internet goal because it's got all the story telling and elements of something unexpected and funny but also adventurous and an adrenalin rush at the same time. >> that girl on the edge of the building, they may actually not like her. like it might not be, hey, let's all as friends jump off this building. maybe, hey, we don't like her, let's push her off this building because there's no reasonable explanation for why she would do this. >> coming up. black ice and body slams. >> it's like the only rule is that there are no rules. >> when "caught on camera: eyes everywhere" continues. whitening toothpaste? let's see. the paste didn't seem to do much for me. the whitestrips made a huge difference. that's not fair! crest whitestrips work below the enamel surface to whiten 25 times better than the leading whitening toothpaste.

team loyalty turns ugly. >> it looks so violent for something that doesn't have a need to be violent. st. petersburg, the second-most populous city in russia. it's june 11, 2005 and a shaky cell phone camera captures this scene, erupting in a parking lot. >> at first it looks a little bit like west side story, like the sharks and the jets. it looks like it could start out as a flash mob. >> look a little closer. these guys are definitely in no dancing mood. >> to look at these people shouting and screaming about something, you would think they had this very fierce, political position about something, but no. these two groups just really like their sports teams. >> these are extreme football fans, before a big game. and by football we mean soccer for americans. in red are the spartac from
4:44 pm
moscow. and in blue, the zenich fans of st. petersburg. >> russians love their football. they love their national team. they love their clubs. >> the extreme fan bases started to form in the '60s, when the oppressed were looking for a voice, and an identity. >> you get clubs based in the cities. any city club is going to have a hard-core of support, simple as that. there's a lot of rivalries and it's always, always entertaining to see what the fans are up to. >> if you see a crowd of people coming towards you in soccer uniforms and they look angry, that's not a good sign. >> this is organized chaos. the ground rules are prearranged. the place, the time, the number of people on each side, and an agreement not to use weapons. and, yes, they all agree to wear their team colors. >> i probably couldn't get 50 of my friends to dress up in the same color shirts. there's a lot of hatred involved
4:45 pm
that they're willing to wear color coordinated shirts just to make sure that they can actually have a brawl. >> when you go to a stadium and go to a stadium to watch a russian football game, for every two fans there's probably one policeman in full riot gear, not to be messed with. >> two on one? not quite. but intense, absolutely. so these fans choose their battleground, far from the soccer stadium and far from the police. >> there's a lot of issues around how to deal with football hooliganism that takes place away from the games. >> one of the groups tactically moves to the bridge to reduce the number of people fighting at any given time, which is like a military strategy. like this is more braveheart than it is westside story at this point. >> after brawling for close to 15 minutes the rowdy crowd disperses. >> one of them eventually runs off and i think it's because their curfew is 10:30.
4:46 pm
>> though this video is recorded in 2005, in 2012, there are nine similar incidents, and police are still battling the ongoing problem. there are no winners in a violent fight like this. and there's no winner on the field later in the day, either. the match ends in a tie, 1-1. if you can't turn away from a cell phone video of a rumble, wait till you see this high definition, 15-angle smackdown. in december 2012, a new show body slams its way on to the internet and local russian sports stations. >> there's a big love for mma, for mixed martial arts in russia. but this is something slightly different because this is a little bit tougher. >> tougher with the addition of some violent twists, like this two on one action. team fights, obstacle courses. >> they all seem to jump on to
4:47 pm
this riser like, hey, let's beat each other up over there and beat each other up on the riser. move on to another area like this will be fun. it's like the only rule is that there are no rules. >> this may look like compete anarchy, but the sport has rules. a point system and a referee to keep score but not necessarily to keep fighters from being injured, and it's all par for this vicious course. >> translator: pain usually occurs after the fight. you don't notice it during the fight. adrenaline is released into the blood. pain becomes unimportant at the time. >> what's the prize for living this life of hard knocks? >> team prestige, fame, adrenalin, winning, victory, that's what they fight for. we award a certificate of honor for competing but we don't have monetary prizes. >> what advice would fighters give to anyone who wants to participate in the hip show? >> translator: good luck.
4:48 pm
>> while some sports get down and dirty, others are just plain dirty. >> never mind that that street water is disgusting, it's a big kick for him to just surf right through it. >> june 6, 2010, st. petersburg, russia. severe rain causes the streets to flood. >> you've got small lake in the middle of this neighborhood and then all of a sudden you see a car coming through, the trunk is open, and then you realize it's because somebody's wakeboarding off the back of this car. >> and this guy's really taking it to the next level. when we used to do when i was growing up in russia is to hold on to a bread truck when it was snowy and you just kind of skate behind it. >> snow is fun to slide on, but this water could cause a lot of damage. >> i certainly would not mind being the wakeboarder, i don't want to be the driver. have you ever seen what happens
4:49 pm
to a car when the engine intake sucks up all the water? that engine block is done. insurance company's not going to cover you for being a dumb ass. >> if i knew how to wakeboard, i would completely do something like this. you just have to know what you're doing. but yeah, this is totally cool. i love this guy. >> coming up -- keep your eyes on the road. and romance gone wrong. >> i don't understand how cow sex works but these cows in particular feel like moving at the same time. >> when "caught on camera: eyes everywhere" continues. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr® to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, like aricept®, it may improve overall function... and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. (man) namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses.
4:50 pm
it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body... and may increase side effects. the most common side effects... are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. (woman) all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about adding... once-daily namenda xr. it's crest hd. it's amazing. this was... wow! new crest hd gives you a 6x healthier mouth and 6x whiter teeth in just one week. it gets practically every detail. that's why it's called hd. try new crest pro-health hd. i have a cold with terrible chest congestion. better take something. theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is.
4:51 pm
here we go! i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 60,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire.

4:55 pm
you have terrorists come in, one of the first things they do is inform the police officer or police officers on the scene, eliminate them if they can. realizing then they can go ahead and do what they want to do because the second follow-up for police is going to take a few minutes. so this is planned out. this is someone who's thought out what they did. and again it is perhaps someone following terrible example we saw in paris just a month ago. >> what do you think the danish police are doing now? >> flooding the area. they are going to be doing just like we do in america. pulling the closed circuit films and looking at that. they are going to be looking at the terrorists they know are in the area. they are going to be looking at synthesizers to the french situation and they are going to be reaching out to nations around the world, to include the
4:56 pm
united states. they are going to come to us and say who do you know with any terrorist connections that may have been in copenhagen at this time. there is going to be a lot of intelligence work and electronic work done on the internet and telephones. and these cases are solved by police shoe leather. and there are going to be a lot of cops on the street right now burning up shoe leather trying to find the shooter or shooters before they act again. >> how common are shootings in denmark like this. >> very uncommon. you don't see anything like this. denmark, and especially copenhagen doesn't see these type of violent crimes this often. so again i think what we're going to see is this is going to be terrorist related and it is going to have something to do more than likely as i say with the shooting this morning, today, that took place. the rally concerning the
4:57 pm
cartoonist who eight years ago went on al qaeda's most wanted list. these domino's are starting to fall. the question for the copenhagen police right now is will the gunmen or gunman, are they on the run? are they moving yet to another target. and if so what might it be? and how to do they get in front of them before they are moving behind and dealing with another body count. >> it sounds like you think that perhaps these two shootings stood are organized rather than two single cells. am i hearing you correctly? >> yeah. you are. and i say that because most of investigators really don't believe in coincidences. they don't believe that these things just happen by themselves. so that there would be appear to be initially some level of potential coordination. now, you know, could it happen? could there be two simultaneous cells totally without any
4:58 pm
knowledge of each other that both decided to go into full blown attack to be same day? i guess that is possible. but i would tell you that the danish police right now are going to be looking at the connection between the shoots as opposed to two random shoots that happened to take place within the same 24 hour period. >> are the danish police as equipped as we are in new york city to handle something like this with cameras on so many corners and we're constantly monitoring? >> well we know that london, for example, they probably lead the world in number of cameras out there. and new york city is right there with them too. many times the need for the camera is driven by the threat level in that particular city. be it ongoing crime or be it terrorism. and even though we're going to find these cameras in any major city in the world, probably not the same number. but realize that there are going
4:59 pm
to be people just like in paris who were taking pictures with their iphone, taking pictures on the scene. maybe even taking pictures of the gunmen or gunman. so within the next 24, 36 hours, if those pictures exist, they will be coming out. what always happens is the police will take those pictures and try to very quickly identify the shooters. if they can't do it right away. they just like the paris authorities did will go public with those pictures trying to get this force multiplier, the general public to try to help solve this crime before the shooters strike again. >> and perhaps social media might help with that as well as people are posting pictures and talking about this, don't you think in. >> well i think so. and with the realization that the shooters in paris, we know for example in the delicatessen were actually taking pictures of
5:00 pm
grizzly crime they committed and were sending those out. we may well see a similar level of posting by the actual shooters themselves. >> i want to let people know i'm paige hopkins with breaking news. reports of the new shooting in copenhagen and police are released some information for us. the danish place say three people were shot. one shot in the head and two police officers were shot. i believe one we're hearing were shot in the arm. the gunmen fled the scene. and this is a breaking story. it is not clear yet if this is connected to an earlier shooting in which one person was killed and several others wounded in an attack at a free speech vent. we're still waiting to hear more confirmation about that. so right now we don't have a connection. but joining me on the phone has been clint van
