cruz says donald trump likes obamacare and he knows it's a lie, when he says, other thing s, i won't even go in to it because it is disgusting these people are really bad. i have dealt with politicians all of my life. some are good but many, many, many are really dishonest. i don't think they are as bad as this press. i will be honest with you. i think the press is worst. but we will straighten out our country. we will come up with solutions. when these guys, you can ask the disney folks and the people who came up and were killed at disney, killed where they are being replaced. they have to change jobs, they have to train people and you heard the story. you know who was in charge of that? the biggest proponent of doing that is little marco rubio. okay? this guy is bad news. here's the story, folks. we're going to start making great deals for our country. we have a poor country. we're like -- we are in trouble.

we have $19 trillion in debt. it's going up to $21 trillion. we have people that don't have a clue. we have a budget that was just passed which is a total disaster. you saw the budget, they call it the omni bus budget. just passed. we are going to start to have wonderful budgets and make the country so strong and build up the military which is so depleted. our military is so depleted from mismanagement and misuse and going all over and not knowing what to do and by listening to guys like lindsey graham drop bombs here, drop bombs on assad, on isis but the r they are fighting each other so maybe we shouldn't do that. how can you do this if you are doing that that's why we are there so long, folks. we have to do one thing at a time. number one, we take out isis.

you know, i got a lot of heat. putin was very nice to me. he said donald trump is a genius. i'll take that, right? hey, he's not getting anything for it, okay. he said donald trump is a genius. donald trump is going to be the great leader of the party. so he said that. i don't know if he meant it. probably did to be honest with you. he sees crowds like this, why not these people come up and they say we want mr. trump to disavow that statement a. why would i disavow. guy calls you a genius, is anyone going to disavow? . what's wrong with russia working with us instead of fighting fighting? what's wrong with having russia drop bombs all over isis? what's wrong with that? what's wrong with it? we have so many wrong things. when the started, june 16th, i came down and a lot of the pundits said he's never going to

run and then they said he's never going to sign form a where you sign your life away. you think this is fun? i want to tell you, running for president takes guts. it takes guts. it's not easy. my wife told me. it was interesting melania, she said, you know, if you run -- you love mel melania, that's beautiful. she's great. she's great and it's not easy for her either. i will tell you this, it is a tough thing. when we came down that escalator and said let's go. i took a deep breath, made 'speech and talked about illegal immigration and all hell broke out and you wouldn't be talking about illegal immigration which is a far bigger problem than anyone knew. nobody knew how great it was, i knew. i have friends that live in california, texas, that live all over the place and i have friends that have become addicted to drugs, drugs that

flow through that border. i was treated so well in the state of new hampshire. not only did i win it, but there are great people up there. you go to new hampshire and you see the people and their biggest problem -- the first thing they tell me about is they have a tremendous heroin problem, tremendous. it doesn't seem right. you know the beautiful trees and the beautiful -- everything is buchlt it's like a beautiful place and it doesn't seem right. it is pouring through the southern border. we are going to stop drugs for new hampshire. i made them a promise. i said we're going to get this stuff ended. we're going to end it. i went out and we brought this up and we said we are going to have strong borders. we're going to have a wall. mexico will pay for the wall 100%, 100%. these politicians, you know, the other day i heard two of them. i never heard it before. i heard little marco, he's up

here and he said, and my wife said to me i never heard that before and honestly i hadn't but little marco rubio said, we are going to build a wall. i said sfwhapd he's going to build a watch i thought that we couldn't build it according to these guys and i heard the same thing from ted cruz. they are going to build a wall. sheriff joe arpaio, who's terrific, by the way, he's endorsed me. let me tell you, joe arpaio from arizona knows about borders. do we agree? and he endorsed trump. so what happened is i gave the speech and then people sort of were critical. rush limbaugh actually said i've never seen anyone take more incoming, take a beating from the press. it was brutal for a couple of weeks and then people started to realize i'm right. between the crime and the drugs and the economic development that's lost -- by the way, we are going to have people coming

in. they are coming in legally. we know that. but we have to strengthen the borders. i talked about borders and trade on june 1 is 6th and then it morphed in to something different. because you had the attack in paris, the attack in los angeles and many other attacks and all of a sudden people started to look to me for protection and safety because, trust me, i will be so good. i will be so tough, i will be so strong. we are going to protect our country, militarily and at the borders. we're going to protect our country. trade is a big thing. you can not lose $500 billion a year with china, which is what we lost last year, $500 million with china and then i hear these not smart people. i'm trying to be nice. they say donald trump is not a free trader. i'm a free trader. folks, i'm a free trader. we have to get something out of it, right?

i'm a free trader. when we lose $500 billion a year, i guess i'm not a free trader because it's not going to work that way. i know china very well. i have g great friends in china. they pay me tens of millions of dollars for apartments in manhattan. the largest bank in china is one of the tenants in my buildings. i have the bank of america building in san francisco because of china and i got it in a hostile fashion. you would be proud of me. but let me tell you, china's fine. let me tell you, mexico i didn't like that leader or his filthy language or his attitude because he thought that we're supposed to give him everything. those days are over. but mexico is great and the people are great. i have thousands of hispanics working for me and have worked for me over the years. they are great spirit, great people. the problem we have is the leaders of mexico and china, the leaders of japan, all of the

leaders all over the world are smarter, tougher, more cunning than our leaders. 0 our leaders are stupid people, folks. they are stupid people. we can't afford it anymore. we have 19 trillion. we can't afford it anymore. we are going to change that so fast. for the first part i talked about borders and trade. i love to talk about trade. believe me, i say it all the time, i will be he greatest jobs producing president that god ever created. that i can tell you. the greatest. so, i talked about trade. just so you know, it's not free trade with china. china sends their stuff in here, no tax. we send stuff over there, i have many friends in the manufacturing business. they can't get it in to china and if they do they pay a massive tariff or tax. believe me, it is a one-sided deal and our people don't want to talk about it. we're going to talk about it because we're not going to lose

that kind of money. you can't. if we are going to remain a dunn werks have rebuilt china. that's the greatest theft in the history of the world what china has done to the united states, okay. in fact, the other day, the big bank from china renewed their lease. i said i can't believe it, you are renewing it. it is a great building. what can i tell you. i was a little surprised with the way i talk about china but i talk about it with respect. i wish our leaders were doing to them what they are doing to us. i would be so happy with our leaders. i wouldn't even be doing this. we are going to straighten out trade. i know you seen the story, about a week ago, carrier air conditioners, good company. but now i'm going to a different brand, probably trane. it is moving to mexico now. pfizer is moving to ireland. pfizer, a massive company. big pharmaceutical company. we have to stop it, folks.

here's what happens. ford is building a $2.5 billion plant in mexico just in case. nobody did anything and they are now doubling down. i have been talking about it for two years and the other day in the newspaper it said that ford is going to double up and build more. the reason is nobody talks to them and tells them there are going to be repercussions if you do this. i went to the wharton school of finances, schools, colleges, or no schools. anyone knows if you take carrier when they say -- it was terrible. 1400 people out of a job. when you take carrier and you say you are out of a job, we're moving to mexico and you had to see the people. they were devastated. worked there for years, devastated. they are going to move right in to mexico. what good does that do? they are going to make air conditioners and sell many in the united states, no tax, no nothing. we lose the jobs, the buildings,

real estate taxes, all sorts of taxes. we get nothing. and then not only that carrier will sell air conditioners so they will be competing with companies that we have like trane and others that sell air conditioners that ideally make them in the united states. of course there aren't many of those left because i can say the same thing for south korea. you want to buy a television -- i buy thousand of television sets a year? you want to buy a television set, you have to go to south korea, unless you want to go to sony. but you go lg and samsung. you have to go. here's the story. if i'm president, what i do is the following. it's not very presidential. i know. everyone says that, when, when, when, but i don't want to say that because they will say i'm egotistical. the big thing is you have to go out on tuesday and vote, folks. you have to vote. you have to vote!

you have to vote! you have do goat vote. you have to vote or the movement ends. our movement. look at that. look at that. i love that amount of people. boy, i wish you could have gotten a better location. i wish the cameras would focus once on that area. it so unbelievable. so crazy. i wish they would foe cuss on the area where we have 4,000 people standing. but they won't. that's so sad. i would have let them in. why is there a fire hazard when you are standing outside? in all fairness, i'm sure i'd like -- i have this problem, you know, i work very hard. my best friends have become fire marshals because every time i go to a place we need the help of the fire marshals but usually it's on the inside of a building. even there, i say, do me a favor, let the people come in. you have thousands of people

standing out there, how can you have a problem, we're outside? there's no building. we're outside. let them in, mr. fire marshal, whoever the hell you are, let them come in. let them come in. come on. i don't get it. i don't get it. yawn. we need common sense in the world, right? we need common sense. if we are on the inside of a building, i would say can you let some in, we send away thousands of people. i hate it. i have gone back to areas to take care of the people we send in. here's what we do. it is not very presidential. i. if one of these other guys heard about it, like rubio or cruz, number one they don't care. you are right. number two, they are taken care of and a will be byist will see them and say you can't do that. the lobbyist represents and he's

this and they gave you money. nothing will happen but me i'm not asking. i have turned down so much money. i feel so foolish. i tell people my whole life, my whole life is about money accumulation. i tell people, i'm sort of greedy, it is like, money, money, money. that's what i do, money. now i say, i tell people i have a friend who's a great guy, from las vegas, a very powerful, big guy, phil, very rich guy. he wants to give me $10 million. another $5 million. i have guys that will give me anything i want. i would have the greatest fund ever assembled by mankind, okay and i keep saying no, no, no, and phil says donald, when can i give it. >> we have been listening to donald trump this and the news f the day i'm joined by a former

aide to hillary clinton as well as barack obama's campaign. joy reid is with me in columbia, south carolina. starting with the basic politics of this, this is a day where donald trump found himself fending off questions whether he sufficiently decried the david duke kkk endorsement. to be fair to him he said he disavows it and then walks on stage with jeff sessions the alabama senator and hard right immigration foe and the guy dons a red hat and we are on to a new story line. what do you make of it. >> it was a rather exhausting rally. it is interesting. donald trump is a novice politician, but he in some ways is an expert. they tell you in political combat you always want to be on offense. if you are on defense you are losing. what does donald trump do, anytime someone attacks him, the

latest attacker is rubio. we have been treated to ten minutes of attacks on how terrible he is. he is trying to move past the drama of today by getting where he is comfortable attacking others. you are will remember from "the lego movie" everything is sawsome. that rally felt like everything is awful where he lists terrible things going on in america and talk about how he is the one to fix him. the crowd behind him see seems to be eating it up. >> on the jeff sessions endorsement, you know from working on campaigns, endorsements at an individual level are often overexaggerated. there's no data showing that voters care that much about most of them. a lot of political science said it shows where a party is going or top tier versus not. donald trump has never had many endorsements. he prided himself on that and now he has chris christie as the

first big governor and former rival and senator sessions. will these matter? >> he doesn't like politicians but if they happen to endorse them the likes those politicians. your point is right. each individual endorser is not a huge deal but there seems to be an aggregate trend formulating where it looks like members of the republican party are starting to come around to the idea that this is the front runner for the nomination, potential presumptive nominee and trying to get on board before it is too late. like you said it is a symbol of the party sort of waking up to the reality this person will be leading the party for the next four to eight years. >> to that point, joy, chris christie's aides were direct. they said we think he's going to

be the nominee. that's why we endorsed, which isn't really a choice. it is more following and to blake's point that in and of itself maybe telling for the republican party right now. >> for an alpha dog politician like christie to get behind who he believes is the leader sends a message. jeff sessions on the judiciary committee, one of the people deciding or maybe not deciding to look at a supreme court nominee from president obama, there's a lot working there. just donald trump from a branding.of view. he may not be an expert politician but an expert brand marketer. he gets on with his make america great hat. gets everyone wearing the brand. you might as well hand out throw back jerseys. >> the campaign is a throw back to earlier, better times.

your final thoughts of where we are heading on super tuesday, another trump rally is free styling, if you will. >> if you remember after the 2012 elections one of the take aways was the publicly can party issued their own autopsy. what went wrong and how can we prevent it from happening again. >> that is a fair point. thank you both. we will be back after this.

>> when doug click wakes up the morning of march 21st, 2002, he has no idea he's about to become part of the news story he's casually watching on television. >> there he goes, center lane, red light. this is serious here. >> a driver in a stolen dump truck is terrorizing the streets of phoenix, arizona, weaving in and out of traffic and charging through red lights. >> they're telling all their units on the grounded to stay out of sight. >> it's right before the city's rush hour. and local tv stations are carrying the story live. >> look at him splitting the middle lane right now. he's in the middle and he has a big white truck. >> police chopper pilot joe hans heads into the sky to keep a close eye on the driver and to relay what he's seeing to the cops below. >> he made several attempts during this pursuit to collide with patrol cars. >> look at this. oh, man. almost head-on with a police cruiser. >> with hans in the air, police on the ground hang back in hopes the driver will relax and start to slow down. >> most of the time all officers were out of sight.

nobody was actively chasing him. >> back at his house, doug click is in the midst of his morning routine as the tv report plays on in the background. at about 6:40, he steps out for some coffee. never dreaming his world would collide with the dump truck driver in the most unusual way. it's now almost 40 minutes into the pursuit, and the dump truck is on a war path. >> going across the middle lane. red light. nobody coming through the light. he's in the opposite lane. >> doug makes it just a few short blocks from his home when he sees the truck zoom past. >> i pulled up to the intersection and saw the dump truck coming this way. >> rather than avoid the truck and turn the opposite way, doug decides to follow it, staying safely behind. there's not a cop car in sight. >> i was behind him, you know, maybe a couple hundred yards. he kept going towards the intersection in front of him and the light started to change. when the light changed red, the cross-traffic started to go. he didn't slow down. >> and then it happens, the dump

truck plows through a red light, tearing off the front end of an oncoming car. doug watches furious as the dump truck cartwheels down the street. >> i was pretty pissed off at that point in time. you know, i don't have a bad temper, but i get pretty mad sometimes. >> he has no doubt he's killed passengers in that white car. and after seeing the truck fly into the air and roll, he thinks the truck driver is almost surely dead, too. but just seconds later, unbelievably, the man steps out through the broken windshield and makes a run for it. doug pulls his car over and grabs a baseball bat in his trunk. doug's not taking any chance that this guy could get away or, worse, that he carjacks someone or breaks into a nearby home. >> you know, he was really amped up when i saw him. his eyes were as big as silver dollars. >> the man takes out a pair of bolt cutters and threatens to kill doug but doug persists. >> i hit him a couple of good

times with the bat and didn't seem to faze him. >> within seconds, police catch up at the scene. there's some confusion as to who doug is, but soon it's all straightened out. the suspect later pleads guilty to charges of endangerment and aggravated assault and is sentenced to 16 1/2 years in prison. with the suspect in police custody, chopper pilot joe hans turns his attention to the crushed white car in the middle of the intersection, and his heart sinks. >> one of the first things that came out of the car was a baby seat. >> miraculously, the women and children in that car walk away with only minor injuries. it's a comforting end to an adrenaline pumping morning. but for doug click, the story doesn't end there. his bravery and quick action captures the media's attention. >> doug click, good morning. >> good morning. >> man, what a morning you had. >> it's been a heck of a 24 hours. >> but for the son of a police chief and brother of four police

officers, doug's response, he says, was nothing more than being brought up with that old-fashioned sense of responsibility. >> i remember back when i was a kid, you know, if anybody had done anything like that, the dads would have definitely stood up and stopped the guy. he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. the police are the cleanup crew. they're not there when the crimes are going on. if you can stop the people from doing crimes, you try to stop them as best you can. another terrifying crime on the road. this one on a public bus. a man boards a bus in broad daylight and immediately begins pummeling the driver, taking him and the passengers on a wild ride to remember. may 2008, in milwaukee, wisconsin. and a masked man reportedly asks, do you remember me? before pounding the driver's head with his fists. it's all caught on the bus' security camera. the attack goes on with the bus in motion. the driver trying to block the

man's blows. none of the eight passengers come to the driver's aid. and when the suspects turns to leave and can't, he grabs the steering wheel and pushes his foot down on the accelerator, trying to commandeer the bus. terrified passengers scream as the bus swerves into oncoming traffic. it goes about two blocks before crashing into a tree. the suspect flees when the bus comes to a stop. the milwaukee county sheriff releases the video asking for the public's help finding the suspect. >> i want this guy in custody. this is one of the most aggravated situations that i have ever seen against a public transportation operator. >> no one's seriously hurt, but the bus driver's bruised and shaken up. he says he didn't know his assailant and it's believed the attack is a case of mistaken identity. a 17-year-old boy is arrested in connection with the assault

after someone thinks they recognize him on the videotape. however, he's never charged with the crime. coming up -- a mother dragged by a speeding train. a scaffold on the loose. and a big rig keels over. when "caught on camera: wild rides" continues. ould be ibs-d new prescription xifaxan is an ibs-d treatment that helps relieve your diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms. do not use xifaxan if you have a history of sensitivity to rifaximin, rifamycin antibiotic agents, or any components of xifaxan. tell your doctor right away if your diarrhea worsens while taking xifaxan, as this may be a sign of a serious or even fatal condition. tell your doctor if you have liver disease or are taking other medications, because these may increase the amount of xifaxan in your body. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are nursing. the most common side effects are nausea and an increase in liver enzymes. if you think you have ibs with diarrhea, ask to your doctor about new xifaxan.

welcome back to "caught on camera." i'm contessa brewer. ever look up at the window washers working on high rise buildings and wonder, how can they do that? this is one dangerous job. the work requires no fear of heights, nerves of steel and, as our next story shows, a tight grip. downtown denver, strong winds sends a scaffold careening out of control with two window washers holding on for dear life. >> just boom, boom, boom. >> everything just happened quick, man. >> we turned around, what the hell's going on here, you know? >> it's november 30th, 2005 and onlookers stand in disbelief outside the denver plaza tower. >> i'm still shooken up just watching all that happen. it was so freaky. it was scary. >> sudden wind between 25 and 30 miles an hour have a scaffold swinging out 40 feet from the high rise office building, then crashing like a battering ram into the windows.

>> there was a lot of gasps, a lot of horror. people were staring out at the street saying, no, no, no. >> heather halpin works on the 18th floor. >> at one point it was swinging out towards the street. and it actually went up vertical like this. i think that was the scariest point for me because i was thinking for sure somebody would fall out. >> it really had kind of an apocalyptic feel to it. >> photojournalist kirby howell works only a few blocks away and gets to the scene quickly, capturing it all on camera. >> the scaffold swung out maybe halfway between these two buildings here. and my biggest fear was that the cables supporting it were going to snap and it would come crashing down to the street. >> the window washers are wearing safety harnesses, so presumably, if the scaffold falls, the men would be left hanging from the top of the building. that's probably little comfort to them as the scaffold flies through the air thrashing violently. it's already plummeted about 15 feet and shards of glass from

the building's windows are raining down on the street. >> to get a visual of this. you arrive on scene, you see a little bit of glass. and then midway through the incident it looks like an armageddon. it looks like a war zone down there. >> firefighters immediately cordon off the area. >> you had a wild, swinging arc of the scaffolding. looked like a locomotive in between the buildings. the obvious question was someone's going to get seriously hurt and someone could die. and something had to be done quickly. >> crews rush inside the building, hoping they can catch the scaffold the next time it hits. >> we started running down the hallway. i was in the lead. i was screaming, make a hole, make a hole. we were trying to judge exactly where it was going to hit. we knew we had one shot. we knew it was coming in, we just didn't know which window it was going to come in at. >> the firefighters reach a broken window and prepare to grab the safety ropes to pull

the scaffold into the building. now they're eye level with the scaffold, close enough to see the fear on the faces of those two men. >> they were terrified. they didn't think they were going home that day. >> firefighters try to make a bigger hole in the glass to give the window washers more room, but there's no time. when the scaffold collides again with the building, at the precise spot where firefighters are waiting the two frightened men seize the moment. >> they didn't wait. they were so afraid that they literally just dove through that small opening. >> after their 15-minute terrifying wild ride, oscar gonzalez and hector estrada break down. they are grateful to be alive. >> translator: we really thought the cables would snap and the scaffold would crash down. thank god it didn't. >> translator: when the wind started we tried to hold on to the cables on the building, but our arms got too tired. we lost energy, it was so cold. so we let it loose. >> everyone involved agrees the situation could have been

catastrophic if not for the experience, skill and teamwork of the firefighters and for those window washers who managed to hold on tight. coming up -- a kite surfer hurled through the air. >> we saw him go up about 40 feet at least, and then slam to the ground. plus a mother's desperate attempt to save herself and her little boy. when "caught on camera: wild rides" continues. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line.

1 1/2-year-old son. seoul, south korea. it's november 10th, 2005. and the station's security cameras capture 30-year-old li chen hi boarding the subway. almost immediately the doors close with her child's stroller stuck halfway aboard the train. li struggles to release the carriage. a stranger runs to help. but in no time, the train is slowly moving out of the station with three of them along for the ride. li fights to free her son. she manages to unbuckle him. he's pushed on to the platform. while her son is out of immediate danger li's jacket is caught on the stroller and the train drags her and the stranger trying to help across the platform, heading straight for the tunnel. both women scream in terror as another passer-by quickly picks up the child. the train goes 30 yards before it comes to a halt. li is only seconds away from hitting the tunnel wall head on. >> translator: as the train was

pulling me, i was afraid for my baby, so i unbuckled him. i got him out of the stroller while i was still being dragged. i tried to get up, but my jacket was caught in the stroller. i was on my stomach getting dragged. >> the little boy is perfectly fine. li suffers just minor head injuries. after the ordeal, the stranger who tried to help collapses on the platform. it's a frightening wild ride. and in the end, mother and child are very lucky to be alive. it's right going underneath the pomona and the 10 freeways right now. >> an ordinary day on the job comes to a surreal end for two construction workers. by 5:00, they're not heading home to their families, but heading 30 miles an hour down the los angeles river clinging to the side of a cement truck fighting for their lives. >> certain points you think that -- you start doubting that, you know, you're probably not going to be able to make it.

>> it's 1997. jose nunez, a cement truck driver, and his partner, mark, are set to work on the dry bed of the los angeles river fixing a crumbling overpass like these crews seen here. on most days the l.a. river looks like this, an open concrete trench, but when it rains, the storm runoff from all the valleys in los angeles has only one place to go, the river basin. there's no forecast for heavy rain, just a light drizzle at most. nothing to worry about. but suddenly up river about noon it begins to pour. >> i was very concerned. and i kept telling mark that we should be out of there. >> at first, the water downstream is just a trickle. then jose and mark hear a dull roar. they look behind them, and see a seven-foot wall of water. >> it was like a brownish water with lots of trash in front of

it. and i knew then that we were in trouble. >> the men race for their mixer, but water quickly floods the cab. jose and mark dart up a ladder to the top of the 20-ton truck, figuring it won't budge, they'll be safe. they're mistaken. 150,000 gallons of water a second are now rushing down the l.a. river, forcing the mixer to move. >> that's when i started getting scared. and the water pushed us right into the middle of the river and we started floating down river. >> the truck is just approaching the 10 freeway southbound in the river. >> jose and mark are just beginning their wild ride. up ahead, bridges, overpasses and then a clear shot out to the pacific ocean. but first, a more immediate fear -- the truck hits a bridge abutment, breaks free, but nearly rolls over. mark is afraid the mixer might tip and crush them. he wants to jump off and take his chances in the raging river. >> i was ready to jump at any time in case the truck was to

roll over. i didn't want to be underneath it. >> but jose nunez wants to stay put. the men agree to hang on and take their chances on the moving mixer. they fear the worst. >> jose was really concerned about something happening serious. because all he talked about was his wife and kids. >> then the truck floats under a second bridge, but doesn't come out on the other side. it hits another abutment. and this time for the moment, it's stuck. it turns out to be a lucky break. a rescue helicopter chasing the cement truck down the river can now make a daring attempt to save them. >> air rescue 5 hovering over, trying to maneuver in there. >> i can actually see the fear in their face when i was going down. as i started to get close to them, i yelled for them to stay still. >> rick hernandez gets a harness on jose and wants to send him alone up to the chopper but jose is gripped by fear and lunges for the deputy nearly pushing him into the river. >> i had to kind of push him away from me, saying, let me go, you're going to go by yourself.

>> hernandez breaks free and sends jose on his way. within minutes mark is out of harm's way, too. shortly after the incident, both men return to the job but say their wild ride down the river is one they won't ever repeat. >> i just take things more serious now. watch out more of what my jobs are. >> it's good to be alive. coming up -- a kite surfer takes his chances in a tropical storm. and what causes this 18-wheeler to do this? >> when i knew i was going over, i braced myself and held on for dear life. >> when "caught on camera: wild rides" continues. st new wealth s to the top 1%. it's a system held in place by corrupt politics where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections.

fierce wind sends a kite

surfer on one wild ride, hurdling him into the air, dumping him on the sand and then slamming him against a concrete wall. >> it happened so fast, i couldn't believe it. >> strong winds and heavy rains will also continue -- >> it's august 18th, 2008. tropical storm faye is sweeping through south florida. warnings are posted on tv stations up and down the coast. >> faye got nasty kicking up some hefty winds. >> anthony romano is part of a television news crew sent out to cover the story for the local station. >> we had full coverage from key west to ft. lauderdale, and we were pretty much telling the audience and the viewers, you know, how dangerous it is out here on the beach. >> while setting up, romano notices several kite surfers taking advantage of those strong winds. he admits it looks like tremendous fun. >> you know, at the time i was like, man, i would love do that. i would definitely like to try that. >> but romano never imagines that in just seconds, one of

those kite surfers is about to become the story of the day. >> we saw him go up about 40 feet, at least, and then slam into the ground. that i'll never forget. i remember just seeing him slam straight into the ground. and then i thought that was the end of it. i thought he was going to land on the sand and that's it, but then it pulled him again. >> the wind catapults the kite surfer as he flies past romano and his crew directly across a busy highway, about 200 feet. >> did you see that parasailer? >> yeah! >> that poor guy. >> in a matter of seconds he hit literally right over there up against that wall. and he pretty much just stayed right there and just wasn't really moving. >> romano and several others run over to the surfer. >> the wind took him and hit him right about here somewhere and he collapsed right around here. this is where he was lying down. at first he wasn't moving. then we just saw him shaking like a little bit. >> his name, they later learn, is kevin kearney.

he's 28 years old and barely conscious. help arrives within seconds to take him to a nearby hospital. romano fears the worst. >> i didn't hear a peep out of him. i thought he was dead. >> but remarkably kevin is alive. he suffers a cracked rib, two broken vertebrae, a broken ankle, and swelling in his brain, but seven days later, he's in good spirits, talking about his dramatic flight on national television. >> joining us now live is kevin kearney. how are you doing this morning? >> doing great from south florida, good to see you, new york. >> his voice is a little scratchy because doctors placed tubes down his throat during his treatment. kevin, who has 25 stitches and several cuts and bruises, says he's doing great. >> you know, kevin, people are thrilled that you are okay, but you know there are many people that are saying, what in the world were you thinking? >> i should have packed it up a little bit earlier than i did

though. when that gale force wind picked up to 70 knots, 60 knots, and it carried me across the street, that was a little dangerous. i regret it a little bit, but i learned. >> kevin taught himself how to kite board and says he's been doing it for four years. he's thankful he has no memory of the whole ordeal, but he surprises everyone with what he says next. >> the next time i'll be out there, but i'll be packing up a little bit earlier than i did this previous time. >> so you would still go back out there in a tropical storm, is that what you're saying? >> definitely. >> video of kevin's wild ride travels like the wind around the internet and hits the kite surfing community hard. >> initially i was shocked by the violence of the accident. >> rick is the director of florida's kite surfing association and an expert on accidents. >> in my opinion, it wasn't an acceptably safe day for anyone to be out here. in kevin's case, you know, he had very limited experience and training. >> he says experienced kite surfers rely on understanding weather.

>> as this tragic accident exemplifies, it is vital that people know weather, and if they don't know weather, they don't go until they do understand weather. >> he says kite surfing is wonderful and safe, but like any sport, those who participate need to take necessary precautions. >> whether accidents aren't random, they're readily predictable and avoidable in most cases. you have to use restraint, but if you do, you can enjoy the pleasure that this sport gives you in buckets and cut down the risk of having a bad day and being injured. >> kevin kearney agrees. with some distance after the incident, he now says he'll be much more aware of the weather when he goes out, and he urges anyone who kite surfs to do the same and to get proper instruction. for anthony romano, who witnessed the accident firsthand, seeing kevin alive and well on tv is a relief, but watching that video replay, it's still incredible to him that he made it out alive. >> i don't know how anybody can

survive that impact. something that you'd see on tv, you would see on one of those shows, wow, that's incredible, but it's happening real life. and, like, you would never expect it at all. finally another video that shows just how important it is to heed strong wind warnings. a big rig traveling near reno, nevada, is blown over like a sail, shocking the 72-year-old driver. >> i was thinking what happened? why am i off the ground? and i had no idea that a wind could do that, could move that truck that easy. apparently it did. >> it's december 2008, and truck driver dean hicks from grand rapids, michigan, enters the washoe valley with an empty truck. he's on his way to nearby carson city to reload. >> i did not feel any wind at all. no wind that would scare me or give me any indication that there was danger there.

>> hicks has never ridden in the washoe valley before, but police officer john jesse knows in these parts when the wind picks up, it can be a doozy. >> you can't go through the valley and you don't want go through washoe valley when the wind's that high. >> officer jesse sees hicks pass by and races to pull him over. there's an advisory that day prohibiting high-profile vehicles from being on the road, but hicks doesn't see it. he's approaching the windy valley and immediately feels wind between 60 and 80 miles an hour. he tries to slow his truck down, but it's too late. >> the first inkling in my mind was when the truck got quiet, once it came up on two wheels, there was no noise anymore. i looked in my mirror and that the wheels were off the ground and panic struck. in an instant, i tried to think of what to do, what can i do? >> he tries desperately to countersteer the truck and

straighten it out, but he's outmaneuvered by the wind. >> when i knew i was going over, i braced myself and held on for dear life. when the truck finally hit the ground it seemed like it rolled forever. when it finally came to a stop, the first thing that hit my mind was, it stopped. it stopped! i thought it would never stop. finally when it did, everything in the truck had fell over on top of me, laying on one side. >> john jesse sees it all play out, just as he feared. the stunning footage captured on his dashboard camera. >> i remember my reaction from within the car just saying, uh-oh, this is not going to be good. >> he approaches the truck thinking the driver could be seriously hurt, but out pops dean hicks from the top of the truck with barely a scratch. >> i was in a state of shock. i told john that i was finished driving.

>> john jesse helps hicks to his patrol car, calms him down, and later makes sure he has a hotel room for the night, something hicks has not forgotten. >> he went over and beyond the call of duty in taking care of me, carrying me to a hotel, to recommend that they give me a nice room, that i had had an accident, and they gave me one of the best rooms for half price. and i don't care where you're from, you can't beat that anywhere. >> how are you doing? >> hicks and officer jesse reunite for the first time five months later back in reno. >> good to see you. you are such an officer, i'll tell you what. i didn't know how bad it looked until i saw the video that you took of it. i saw it on television. and i said, that's my truck. >> hicks tells jesse how his company bought him a brand-new truck when he returned to grand rapids and how he couldn't

resist taking to the highways again. >> you're driving again. >> yeah. >> i remember your famous words that day, "i'm never driving again." >> i know. i changed my mind. you know, it's like anything else, once it gets in your blood -- >> in spite of his mishap, dean hicks is back on the open road, but he says he won't mess with mother nature again. >> it is very scary. i wouldn't recommend anybody going into a high wind with a box trailer anymore because that's an experience i wouldn't ever want go through again. i was there for the ride, that's all i can say. it was a wild ride. for many of those who've been through a wild ride, the next most shocking thing to experiencing it is watching the whole thing unfold on video. if you have a video you'd like to send to us, we'd like to see it. log onto our website caughtoncamera.msnbc.com. i'm contessa brewer. that's it for this edition of "caught on camera."

all of our stories have been "caught on camera." they're situations no one wants to find themselves in, situations no one wants to confront. but what would you do if you came upon a man trapped inside a burning car, engulfed in flames? >> i knew eventually the car was probably going to explode. >> or if you watch a woman silently slump to the floor of an emergency room. >> this was so not violent, but so violent. >> what if you witnessed a life or death struggle over a gun?
