12:00 pm
just so scared in that environment to have actually pulled it off, it was like, it was the best thing ever. daring rescues in frigid waters. >> i can't see anything. i need help! >> massive floods. >> oh, my god. >> it was unbelievable just how quickly that the water was moving. >> and danger at sea. >> absolutely life threatening situation. >> get ready to get wet. >> oh! >> catching air. and crashing hard. >> oh! >> falling in. >> it was a real quick, violent
12:01 pm
crash. >> and flying out. >> oh, my god! >> when it comes to the power of water, expect the unexpected. >> oh, my god. >> oh, jesus. caught on camera, "wet and wild." hello, i'm contessa brewer, welcome to "caught on camera." water is a force to be reckoned with, we learn as children never to turn our backs on a wave, but there are countless other ways to get caught unprepared. in our first story a bursting water main wreaks havoc on a cold winter morning. >> motorists are trapped in their vehicles when a surprise flood turns roadways into rivers. >> basically it could have skilled many peopskill
12:02 pm
skilled killed many people. >> among those strands in the fast-moving current are a mother and her 9-year-old son. >> i can't see anything. i need help. >> ma'am, we're on our way. >> december 23rd, 2008, an aging water main ruptures in bethesda, maryland, sending a massive wall of water rushing down a busy road and turning the morning commute into a nightmare for drivers. firefighters at station ten are just pulling out. unaware a critical situation is developing nearby. they immediately get stuck in traffic backed up from the flood. >> we actually thought we might have had a truck or something on fire and that's when we were met with about a four foot high wall of water hit the fire truck. it hit the fire truck so hard we actually thought it would blow the window right out of the fire truck. >> acuss stom kuccustomed to t
12:03 pm
rescuers, the firefighters find themselves in a precarious position. >> for the first three or four minutes we weren't the rescuers. we almost needed rescued ourselves. >> from the base of the hill they see several cars trapped in the raging waters. >> i made the initial radio transmission to our emergency communications and said we're going to need water rescue, some manpower. we knew time was not on our side at that point. >> the 66-inch water main break is pouring thousands of gallons of water down the hill. the firefighters need to act fast. >> our plan of attack was to use the fire truck as sort of a barrier between us and any debris that was coming down the road and try to make a little bit of a safe area for us. >> the rescuers fight their way upstream to reach the first car. >> got to the lady. and she was pretty panicked. when it got to the scar and opened the door up, she had water inside of the car and i remember her looking at me and she said, i can't swim.
12:04 pm
i kind of joked and said i can't swim either, but we're not plan on swimming. >> he manages to get the woman to safety. meanwhile another response team has arrived on the scene and is attempting a rescue from the top of the hill. >> the water was moving extremely fast. faster than i'd ever seen it move on a roadway before. we guesstimated at 30 knots which is probably 40 miles an hour. >> they decide to try a tricky rescue maneuver by boat. >> when we do this type of operation, we have what we call a high line. what we do, we try a large rope between a telephone pole and a large tree. and then we used a pulley system to lower the boat down. >> the rescue efforts are tense and they nearly capsize in the frigid water. >> water was really moving. we were swept off our feet two or three times as we tried to get down close enough to get in the boat. >> they're eventually successful, but the firefighters are struggling to reach the mother and her young son still trapped in their vehicle. >> it's moving backwards.
12:05 pm
the water is moving backwarmeds. >> are you out of the water now, ma'am? >> no. it's still coming. >> the firefighters battled the currents for several agonizing minutes. >> the force of the water is tremendous. at 18 inches or so it was taking your feet right out from underneath of you. the amount of debris that was coming down the street was probably the biggest hazard at that point. i mean, you had 2 and 300-pound chunks of rock coming apartment you. you had to dodge them and make sure they didn't take you out. >> with the water levels rising and without further resources, they're forced to retreat. >> that's when we saw the maryland state police helicopter coming in to do part of the rescue. >> sergeant nathan wheelock is in the hangar when he receives a call for an emergency hoist rescue. >> a hoist rescue is by far the most dangerous portion of what we do of our operation. and it is a last resort. it's when you cannot access
12:06 pm
somebody by ground or by any other means. >> as they approach, news choppers capture footage of the landscape. it's barely recognizable. >> when my pilot turned that corner, he turned right to go up what used to be river road and was now a rushing river itself. there were nine cars trapped in the middle of this water that had absorbed the roadway. >> it's an extremely dangerous situation for a helicopter rescue. but it's the best chance of saving the stranded victims. >> we were 95 to ten feet away from trees on one side. a cable dangling between power lines, getting really close to an overhang of trees. either of them with extremely dangerous. electricity or a cable getting fouled. one or the other. we were in a very tight location. >> there was no time to lose. it's a bitter 20 degrees out and the icy waters are taking a toll. even worse, the wind from the helicopter and force of the water make it too dangerous to
12:07 pm
lower anyone down for a rescue assist, so it's up to the mother to get herself and her young son into the basket. >> we need help! >> ma'am, just try to stay calm. they're coming to you, okay? >> every time the basket touched the water, it was throwing it out away from the car. she was trying to climb through the window and still maintain to get into the basket. so, we were very concerned that if she didn't make it into the basket that she was going to get washed away. >> the basket is now covered in ice and slips from the woman's hands every time she tries to grab hold of it. >> frustration was starting to set in. not just frustration, but even a little bit of mild hypothermia. i wanted her to grab that basket more than anything and i wanted her to hold on to it and then climb into it. >> after several desperate attempts the mother finally manages to get her son and herself inside. >> it was an incredible sigh of relief to know i got them. they're mine and we're going to get them up to the side of the aircraft.
12:08 pm
>> but as they're hoisted to the helicopter, sergeant wheelock realizes the basket is frozen solid. >> the mother and son they come up and get next to the aircraft. the basket, the hook, the cable, everything is locked with ice. so they're not coming in. i'm not going to try to pull them out of an icy basket and potentially let them slip. i clip them to the side of the aircraft and they are covered in ice from the waist down. cold, shivering. >> it's a terrifying ride, but the ordeal ends as the helicopter team touches down and rushes the pair to an ambulance. of the dozen or so people trapped in their vehicles, everyone survives the disaster. for responders, it's cause for celebration. >> when the helicopters got there, it was a pretty big relief knowing that they had a chance because at that point when we couldn't get to them, i just didn't have any idea how we were going to make that rescue. coming up --
12:09 pm
another moth and son duo gets a harsh lesson from a wild wave. >> oh, my god. >> oh, jesus. >> i knew it was not going to be a pretty ending. and some sailors ride too close to the edge. >> everything happened so quickly from that moment that the first thing you think is every man for himself. hold on. >> when you see somebody, a teammate of yours, fall through a wing like that, you just never know what's going to happen. >> when "caught on camera wet and wild" continues.

onlookers in hawaii are horrified as a tremendous wave slams two unsuspecting tourists into jagged rocks. >> oh, my god. >> oh, jesus. >> it was pretty obvious to everyone that watched it that there was going to be a significant injury from this. >> i knew it was not going to be a pretty ending.
12:13 pm
>> in his years as an underwater videographer and conservationist, drew wheeler has had many opportunities to witness the power of the ocean first hand. >> i have seen some very close calls here on the rocks at sharks cove. the thing is about this area on the north shore is when the waves come in, you don't know they're coming until they're there. >> february 5th, 2011, drew and a group of conservation volunteers are on the shoreline keeping watch over the waves. >> we're part of a mckie watch and we're here every saturday to give the public information and help protect the marine life area. we watch the fish and the people. >> in the wintertime there are a lot of visitors that come here to see the spectacular waves hitting the rocks with this beautiful explosion of white water. it's a very common sight to have people taking photos along this area of the shoreline. >> but on this particular day a pair of tourists, mother and
12:14 pm
son, will get more than a view of the waves. >> when i first saw the couple walk out on the rocks i initially tried to warn them as did several other people on the shoreline. >> our first instinct was to yell at them and warn them because the waves were obviously crashing over the rocks but they, of course, couldn't hear us. >> the tourists are unaware that the waves in this area can be extremely unpredictable. waves are generated miles away and travel over the open ocean to hawaiian shores. they are large, powerful, and spread far apart. for people on the beach the water is calm one minute, but it can be a very different story the next. >> people come here. they watch the waves. they'll see a few smaller waves thinking that it's okay to get into the cove or the tide pools and they don't understand that every few waves or so two or three very large waves, larger than normal that they're watching, will come in and then they're in trouble. and this is a very rocky area. >> it's referred to as the cheese grater by the lifeguards
12:15 pm
because the lava rock is extremely sharp and very, very dangerous. >> we watched many people get hurt here. >> as the wave hits the base of the rocks, mother and son still don't realize what's about to happen. >> when the wave initially hit and he took the picture, he turns around almost happy that he got this great shot, but at that moment i think the woman realized that they were about to get wet and she kind of crouches down, but the gentleman just turned around and had no idea of the water that was about to come over the rocks. i informed one of the people near my to get ready and call 911. >> and just a few seconds after that the waves came up over the rocks and took them right off the rocks. >> the waves comes up over the rocks with incredible force, throwing the pair down a 12-foot drop. >> oh, my god. >> oh, jesus. >> oh, geez. >> when the wave hit him, it took him out from basically behind and knocked him across the sharp lava rocks and
12:16 pm
actually sent him over the ledge headfirst backwards. the woman being a little bit more prepared ended up in a seating position and sort of skipping across the rocks and down the ledge in a seating position the whole time. >> the conservation group watches helplessly. >> my initial concern was that the guy who went over headfirst and backwards was probably going to have suffered a serious neck injury and possibly broken bones, spinal injury. >> seconds pass as the man disappears into the tide pool. when he emerges, it's clear, he's in tremendous pain. >> when he came up out of the water he was screaming. and i knew at that point he was conscious and alive which was good. but the best thing for him would be not to move. >> several people in the tide pools rushed over to assist them, and it was just minute after that that the paramedics were here. >> the gentleman was removed from the lagoon area on a backboard and while he was being carried past i could see that he
12:17 pm
had significant cuts and scrapes down his side and legs and harms and hands and elbow. the woman walked out on her own accord, but she had what appeared to be some pretty significant lacerations on the back of her legs. >> the victims are loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital where they're treated for nonlife threatening injuries. >> all in all, i think they were very, very lucky. people have died on these rocks before. >> oh, my god, he fell over. >> oh, jesus. a high-tech racing catamaran wipes out during an exhibition run and sends crew members overboard. >> it was a real quick, violent crash. when you see somebody, a teammate of yours, fall through a wing like that, you just never know what's going to happen. >> june 13th, 2011. oracle racing team's defending
12:18 pm
america's cup champions debut a high-speed catamaran to promote the 2013 america's cup in san francisco bay. the bay is known for some of the world's most stunning scenery. but unpredictable currents and a powerful wind tunnel through the golden gate can make for wild rides on the water. >> san francisco bay is probably one of the most exciting waters in the world. you have huge currents here. there's a lot of different wind types, so it's very challenging. >> the multihulled 45-foot catamaran features the newest design in extremely lightweight, versatile racing boats. >> the unique thing about the freeve 45 it has a wing sail. it's a more efficient aerodynamic shape. >> it allows it to ralce at unprecedented speeds. >> the regular boat we'll see on the bay will probably do eight miles an hour, maybe ten. we're out there doing about 30 to 40 miles an hour.
12:19 pm
>> it's a thrilling ride but at speeds this fast things can change drastically in an instant. >> the boats, the fastest boats in the world, you really have to push them onto the edge to sail them fast. but if you go too far, you know, you can crash them pretty hard. >> you get in this no man's zone where it becomes quite dangerous. they got into that zone. >> as one of the oracle boats skims the water at break neck speed, the bow got buried in a wave. >> it's a lot like a surfboard it starts going forward and the nose starts going forward and it's difficult to recover. >> the catamaran makes a sudden pitch and crew members are sent flying. >> everything happened so quickly because we had such big speed on us as well. it's from the first thing you think is every man for himself. hold on. i heard a big crash through the wing and that was kind of scary because the carbon fiber is
12:20 pm
really sharp. >> fortunately, they're all wearing helmets. beyond some minor injuries and bruised egos, no one is seriously hurt. >> we're sailing at a very, very difficult angle, and our teammates just pushed it a little bit hard and ended up going for a swim. >> the coast guard pulls them in so they can take stock. luckily, this time the damage is minimal. >> the shore team did an amazing job of fixing the wing in a short period of time and we were racing the next day. >> with the future promising bigger and faster catamarans, the stakes lk even higher. coming up -- an unusual rescue mission. >> in the middle of the ocean. how did this dog get here? when "caught on camera wet and wild" continues. in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday.

when something works, people stick with it. more people stick with humana medicare advantage. because we stick with them. humana medicare advantage. the plan people stick with. a pleasant boat trip turns terrifying for a new zealand couple and their dog. >> turned very, very ugly. >> january, 1997, experienced seamen paul dickinson and his girlfriend tina keegan are
12:24 pm
touring off new zealand's north island with their 8-year-old bull terrier presiiscilla. >> miles from land a powerful rogue wave shatters one of the vessel's big windows. >> at that stage a big wave came over and actually hit the front of the boat which in turn caused the window to break and the water is coming in. and priscilla was sitting there and looking at me and i'm looking at the waves and it was just like, hmm, this is quite scary. >> the couple sends an urgent call for help. it's picked up by the westpac helicopter team in new seeland. >> the line rang, i go, here we go. what we got now? we were told it was a boat in distress and if we could go out and try to find it. >> the mayday call gives only a vague position. the pilot knows finding the boat will be tough. >> the rescue helicopter actually went over us. it didn't see us because of the
12:25 pm
squalls in the water. >> it's now a nerve-racking 25 minutes since the rescue call was made and at any moment "the tormenter" may sink. finally the rescue crew spots the boat. >> it was in big trouble and the boat was beginning to sink rather rapidly. >> alex stewart an experienced rescue diver is lowered down from the chopper. >> when they placed me on the board, i had about two seconds and then whoosh i was off it. >> alex knows there's very little time. >> i shouted to tina to get into the water and for her husband to go into the dinghy and to get away from the sinking boat. >> tina doesn't want to get in the water for fear she'll lose hold of priscilla. but then a wave hits the cockpit and the dogfalls into the ocean. she sees alex and paddles toward him. >> people in the middle of the ocean, how did this dog get here? i thought, oh, yeah, here's an added problem to the scenario.
12:26 pm
>> alex's first priority is rescuing tina and paul. he swims with priscilla back to the boat and focuses on tina. meanwhile priscilla is fighting her own battle with the waves. on his third attempt, alex gets the harness around tina and they hoist they are up. >> once i started to be lifted up, i thought, well, this is great, this is my -- this is my rescue. >> by now the boat is nearly under water entirely and the dog is no where in sight. paul is bleeding badly from a cut on his arm as alex secures his hoist up. the couple watches as "the tormenter" sinks presumably with priscilla. >> the paramedics couldn't see priscilla anywhere around the boat. it appeared that all had been lost. >> but as the chopper turns to leave, the tenacious bull terrier suddenly appears, clinging to the last visible piece of "the tormenter."
12:27 pm
>> didn't believe the dog was still there. i thought the dog unfortunately drowned. >> all eyes turned to alex. does he have the energy left to go back down? >> i said to crewman joe, give me 60 seconds in the water. if the dog doesn't come, we'll just have to leave him. i start to call the dog's name, she turned around and saw me and she swam straight for me. >> the desperate priscilla wastes no time. >> she swam into my arms, thumbs-up, get me out of here. i was in midair with the dog in my arms thinking you're a lucky little girl. >> finally, the exhausted dog makes it into the arms of her happy owners. >> it was just perfect, yeah. it couldn't have been any better. coming up -- a family's dream home is buried at the bottom of a river. >> i saw the first two houses go through the gorge. >> oh, man, this is unbelieve that water going. oh, my god. >> i mean, it was absolutely unbelievable.

hi, a terror attack in turkey caught on camera, jik dead and nearly 200 hurt after two suicide bombings at a peace rally in ankara goes off. and south carolina governor nicki haley warns residents to stay vigilant with up to 2 inches of rain in the forecast today. there are still those displaced after last week's historic flooding. 19 people confirmed dead so far. a state of emergency in effect. now back to "caught on camera." welcome back to "caught on camera." i'm contessa brewer. going with the flow is usually a good thing, but not when it sends your dreams down river. when disaster strikes a lakeside resort, no one is prepared for the tragedy that unfolds.
12:32 pm
june 9th, 2008. a massive flood destroys a community and washes homes down the wisconsin river. >> i thought there's just no way. that can't happen here. i remember when the rooftops went through, i was like -- it was surreal. i couldn't believe it. >> almost like it was a nightmare that we were pinching ourselves, hoping we'd wake up. we were in a state of shock. we could not believe it was happening. >> it's the height of summer tourist season in the wisconsin dells, a midwestern resort area. famous for its water parks and boating. >> since i was a kid, we went to the dells, big chief, all those water parks and stuff. >> the dells attracts people in search of a quieter pace year round. >> we wanted to find the perfect setting for a home which we did. >> tim and liz fram built their family's dream home on
12:33 pm
picturesque lake delton and raised their three young children on its shores. >> the entire family just absolutely loved boating, resonated well with what we wanted to do and very relaxing, peaceful. to me and my family, it was the ultimate spot to live. >> but their peaceful sanctuary is disrupted on sunday, june 8. they notice the lake levels are rising in front of their house. >> we've never seen the lake level really rise more than three or four inches. >> but it's not a complete surprise. for a week, the entire region had been inundated with rain. normally, lake delton's water level is regulated through nearby dams. but so much continuous rain catches everyone off guard and the lake water is rising so quickly that the frams decide to take action by sandbagging their waterfront. >> we started getting sand delivered because we were concerned obviously for our home because it kept getting higher. the kids were having a blast. they were playing in the water
12:34 pm
as it was coming up and stuff. >> it's fun and games for the kids, but liz and tim fear the lake water will flood their home. >> the worst that we thought would happen is that maybe the lower level would flood, but just had a sick feeling all day long. >> about midnight, i remember the sand kind of came over that wall and it reached our patio, like, within minutes. >> the time that we decided to evacuate was i think some time around 1:30 a.m. on monday morning. >> when the frams returned by daylight, it's an alarming scene. the lake water has found its own exit route. it's flowing over the lake shores and downhill across the county highway. it's a serious turn of events, but could be good news for the frams. >> tim said i think we might be okay, because it might take the water away from our home. >> but so much fast-flowing water has the force of a raging
12:35 pm
locomotive and the highway starts to crumble beneath its momentum. >> 5,000 pound pieces were falling into a creek that was newly created between the river and the lake. >> the lake water cuts a giant gorge through the earth, joining lake delton to the nearby wisconsin river. phillip white is watching from the shore and begins documenting the catastrophe from a safe distance across the lake. >> there goes that big one. wow. >> just when it looks like things can't get much worse, the unthinkable happens. >> there was a house i was watching from across the river. the water went around that house, took out this big, huge pine tree that was in front of it, then took out the house. >> oh, man, this is unbelievable that water going. there it goes. holy cow. unbelievable. oh, my god. >> once it tipped in, it would hold together for a little bit,
12:36 pm
but then caught up in the chasm of water rushing down there and then bust apart. >> onlookers watched helplessly as the unforgiving waters eat away at the land beneath neighboring homes, exposing their foundations and leaving the houses with nothing to stand on, suspended above the swirling waters. >> it turned into like a level five rapids. it was unbelievable, with just a whirlpooling effect. just how quickly the water was moving and you had large land masses falling in. you had trees falling in. you had homes falling in. i mean, it was absolutely unbelievable. >> i was extremely upset because now i saw the first two houses go through the gorge and ours was, like, the next house in line. >> it's a wrenching scene with their beloved house teetering on
12:37 pm
the edge of the shore. the frams leave to spare themselves from seeing what happens. soon after, the cherished family home, built with care from the ground up, slips into the water intact and floats down river as if weightless, before disappearing into the churning mud and rapids. the frams are not alone. their neighbors, the kubinicks, are away when they get news their vacation home is in danger. >> my neighbors called me and told me the house might go down. >> the house breaks in half. hours later, the kubinicks arrive to an unimaginable scene. >> everything was gone. house was gone. everything. >> in a mere four hours, lake delton is completely drained dry. the entire body of water
12:38 pm
coursing into the lower lying wisconsin river. the event upends the billion dollar local industry that's based on the lake shutting down resort areas and other businesses. for people whose hopes and retirement plans are tied to the area, the devastation couldn't be worse. >> not only did we lose the home, our land and all of our possessions, we really had to start over, from every perspective possible. >> rebuilding efforts begin soon after the massive flood, and within a year, the lake is full and businesses reopen. the area where the frams and others lost their homes is once again a lovely water front. >> this whole area is a new bay. it's now become the deepest part of the lake. that's where everyone's homes were. >> fortunately, no one was in any of the houses that sank and
12:39 pm
no lives were lost. but for the homeowners, sustaining such a painful personal and financial blow, it will take a long time to recover. >> when you lose it, you've lost it forever. and you'll never get it back. >> there it goes. holy cow. unbelievable. coming up, thrillseekers get burned by water and ice. >> i was very scared. i thought something could really be wrong. >> when "caught on camera: wet and wild" continues. nobody told me to expect it... ...intercourse that's painful due to menopausal changes. it's not likely to go away on its own. so let's do something about it. premarin vaginal cream can help. it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause
12:40 pm

12:43 pm
>> for one minnesota teenager, a wild ride down a local hill ends in disaster. >> oh! >> i was very scared. i thought something could really be wrong. >> december 31st, 2005. 16-year-old shanna rasmussen is hoping to enjoy the winter wonderland outside with some friends. >> we were getting ready for a new year's eve party that night when a friend of mine called me and invited me to go sledding. it was my first time to go out sledding that season and i was very excited. >> shanna and her pals think they found the perfect spot for snow tubing, but their excitement will soon turn to trauma. >> the hill where we were at was actually pretty small but very steep. a couple of my friends had been to the hill the day before and they had built a jump there. the jump was built at the very bottom of it, so right when you got maximum speed, you could get as much air as possible.
12:44 pm
>> she landed it. >> the first time that i saw one of my friends go down the hill, it looked really awesome. he hit the jump and got about 20 feet of air before landing. >> next, it's shanna's turn. >> go, shanna, go. >> when i started going down the hill, i really wanted to stay on top of the tube. i figured as long as i had it underneath, i would have cushion and i would be okay. as soon as i hit the jump, i started leaning back too far. as soon as that happened and the tube came out from underneath me, i knew that i was going to have a problem. >> shanna loses control of her position and falls on her neck with the rest of her body following right behind. >> when i hit the ground, my upper thighs actually connected with my shoulders when i felt this big smack of just my entire body collapsing in on itself. and it was really painful. >> the impact is tremendous. shanna lies motionless on the ground, terrified that she may be seriously injured.
12:45 pm
>> i was fairly immobile. i could move my limbs but couldn't sit up. the pain only got worse. i knew i wasn't getting better. i realized i'm going to need some help. >> shanna's friends call an ambulance and she's immediately taken to the hospital. >> i was concerned that if anybody were to move me or pick me up, that i could have a spinal cord injury. >> at the hospital, shanna learns that she's broken five vertebrae in her back. >> i was devastated. of the five vertebrae that i had broken, i had crushed two of them and they had to be fused together with surgery the next day, where they put in two rods and four screws to help strengthen my back and to support my spinal cord. >> after months of painful rehabilitation, shanna makes a full recovery, but she's put her sledding days behind her. >> ever since the accident, i have never been sledding again. i wouldn't tell other people not to sled. it's really fun and can

definitely be a very safe activity. however, for me, i think that that was probably my last time. >> oh! >> oh! august, 2010. a parasailing group heads out for the thrill of their lives. but before they even leave the harbor, their boat comes under attack. >> it looked like the guy was literally trying to run over the other vessel. >> absolutely life-threatening situation. everybody on board was fearing for their life. >> on the southern shore of oahu, tourists flock to enjoy some of honolulu's most beautiful coastline. >> south shore of oahu here is a great spot for parasailing and water activities because it's on the leeward side of the island and the water is generally calm and our weather is very consistent. >> for 16 years, captain jamal
12:47 pm
nichols has worked on the water, taking tourists out to experience the thrill of parasailing. >> this job is very rewarding. and to fulfill people's excitement on an hourly basis is awesome. >> captain nichols and his crew are trained to deal with just about any problem that arises on the water. >> as the captain, my number one job is to make sure everybody knows about the safety briefings so that nobody gets injured. i basically treat all of my customers like my own children. >> but on this afternoon, captain nichols finds himself in a situation he never anticipated. >> as i was leaving the harbor, almost to the surf break, i looked to my right, and i seen a high-speed boat coming at us. >> the boat appears to be one of the local patrols which sometimes travel at high speed when responding to calls. >> last minute, within 50 yards of the boat, i realize that that
12:48 pm
is not a patrol boat. that was a civilian boat and had to take action at that point. >> captain nichols swerves to avoid a collision, but the group is not out of danger yet. greg longnecker is the owner of the parasailing company and recognizes his boat from the shoreline. >> as i was driving out, i saw a boat at a high rate of speed cross the stern of the "man o war," which is the boat that jamal was operating. it didn't dawn on me at first. what was going on. stopped, got out of my truck and looked and was pretty amazed at what i saw. >> nearby, a local cameraman is filming surfers in the area and sees the commotion. >> dude, what is going on? are they, like, trying to run over someone? >> within moments, it becomes clear that the parasailing group is under attack. >> after he made his first pass by us, after i avoided a collision, he whipped his boat around, did a 180 in the surf break and charged right back at us again.
12:49 pm
i realized that this man was deliberately trying to hit us. >> with no apparent provocation, captain nichols is shocked that they've become a target. but he isn't left with much time to think. >> little bit of panic. i had to keep a clear head to protect my passengers, but it was definitely obvious he was after us. >> with 11 other people on board and folks in the water nearby, the aggressive boat is a serious threat. >> on any given day, you could have 30 to 50 surfers in the water. so to see a guy shooting across there at, you know, 30 to 40 knots, it's very unusual and unsafe. >> my passengers were terrified. literally crying, freaking out on board. it was a situation. >> stunned by the attack, captain nichols struggles to keep his clients out of harm's way. >> this man would come after us, turn around, come back after us again, aiming for the belly of the hull. this happened eight to ten
12:50 pm
times. >> there's no end in sight to the ordeal and their attacker makes hostile gestures with each new pass. captain nichols isn't sure how long he will be able to sustain this defensive action. >> at the speed he was traveling, if he had hit the t boat, basically we would have sank. >> suddenly the menacing boat turns and moves in another direction. everyone on board breathes a sigh of relief. the attack is over. and the passengers are unscathed thanks to captain nichols' quick thinking. >> the whole event lasted maybe five to seven minutes. after numerous attempts of trying to create a collision with us he skirted up the coast. he basically gave up. >> but the reason for the attack remains a mystery. the aggressive boater goes onto harass others in the area before being intercepted. he is indicted on charges of terroristic threatening. but the charges are eventually dropped, a fact that troubles

some in the local boating community. >> it shouldn't be allowed to happen. it gives you a very uneasy feeling in the boating industry. we need safe boating practices so people don't get hurt. >> coming up, who says everything that's wet has to stay in the water? >> it's like popcorn. they're popping everywhere. they're coming straight up and they're behind us, they're on the side of us. >> and -- >> what is that? >> when "caught on camera" wet and wild continues. beyond natural grain free pet food is committed to truth on the label. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is always number one. we leave out poultry by-product meal, corn, wheat and soy.

12:56 pm
called me and said, hey, you got to come over here. >> mack calls troy and they set out on a fishing expedition they will never forget. >> there we go. >> all of a sudden that first fish just comes flying out of nowhere, passes between us, bounces off part of the boat. >> oh, there's one! oh, my shoulder. >> a single jumping fish is unusual. but it's not enough to shock try or mack. but within seconds dozens of fish start leaping out of the water in all directions. >> left side, right side, front, back, all the way across the river they were just jumping everywhere around the boat. >> there's one! come over my shoulder. >> the fish are so active but the guys have to protect their heads. and it's no picnic for the cameraman either. >> boom! >> hit the cameraman. nailed me right in the back. >> some of the fish weigh more
12:57 pm
than 20 pounds. and they're propelled by powerful tails that can launch them up to six feet in the air. the fish are asian silver carp, also known as flying carp. and while their behavior looks bizarre, the jumping carp are actually responding to the boat's motor. >> it gets startled by this sound and it reacts by leaping out of the water. >> look at that. >> the fish frenzy is an entertaining spectacle, but there's a serious downside too. >> this specie really is an invasive species. it's not native to this area. it doesn't belong here and it is competitive with the native species. >> they feed on phito plankton and make them an angler's nightmare. they're not just in these waters. the exploding population is infiltrating tributaries across the midwest. and alarmingly heading north
12:58 pm
toward the great lakes. within an hour 21 fish have jumped on board the boat. mack and troy aren't planning on eating them. the guys say these carp are extremely hard to prepare correctly. and since state law forbids throwing them back in the water, troy and mack will have to dispose of them. >> that was torpedo, man. >> the whole floor of the bottom of the boat was covered in fish. everything was covered in slime from where they were flopping around. we were covered in it. >> it's a small dent given the vast numbers of asian silver carp spawning in u.s. waters. troy and mack say they got 300 pounds of carp in all. and we know that's no fish tale. >> all my years of being in the outdoors hunting and fishing and boating, i've never seen anything like this. >> holy! whoa!
12:59 pm
look at that! oh! >> finally, fish aren't the only thing to come flying out of the water. one morning news program in san diego hopes to kick off its broadcast with a splash. >> we're at the san diego yacht and boat show. good morning everybody. i'm hanging out with my buddy john. 5:00 morning news starts. >> and it starts right now. >> but the plan goes awry when the stunt man's waterpowered jet pack launches him straight down instead of straight up. the man plunges into the water. and the station cuts back to the news desk. seconds later the smiling stunt man gets it right shooting up like a rocket out of the sea and soaring through the sky. >> what is that? >> it could be the coolest new thing in water sports, or a great escape device for the next james bond. but there are still a few kinks to work out. >> and it starts right now.
1:00 pm
>> never a dull moment when it comes to getting wet. here's hoping you stay dry and if by chance you don't get yourself a waterproof camera and keep those videos coming. i'm contesa brewer, that's all for this edition of "caught on camera." from the absurd to the embarrassing -- >> it really happened. i have all the wedding footage. do you want to see it? >> to the just plain shocking. >> this was one of the most disturbing viral videos i've ever seen. >> these viral videos capture our attention one way -- >> pretty horrifying when you see that. >> or another. >> tires should not be able to
