at 1-800-974-6006 tty/v. [ mrs. connally ] you can't take my fios away. [ male announcer ] fios. a network ahead. hello, everyone, i'm beth troutman, it is tuesday, and you're watching "right this minute." a mountain biker didn't see this one coming. >> holy cow! >> we get the lowdown on how the rider is doing after one of the
4:01 pm
craziest collisions ever. >> the animal is intent. a 16-year-old girl gets the family car. it was exactly 16 years ago in the same car that something else happened. young hollywood comes out of hiding as miley cyrus meets and greets kids in haiti and mischa barton eats meat and a baby chimp who can bust a move. get ready for some bone-crunching video. it's a classic collision between man and nature. this is a professional mountain-biking race in south africa. >> oh! >> gee! what was that? >>. >> what you're seeing is a red

4:03 pm
>> arrrggg! >> that's what it sounds like when you get the wind knocked out of you. i talked to max core via skype, the owner of the mountain biking team and owns a marketing team who puts on the race. he told me the guys were in second and third place. >> obviously the gang wouldn't have been frightened off by messes ofountain bikers who w 350 riders in that race and obviously being at the front of the pack, you're going to come across the wild game first. >> his helmet is completely destroyed as you see in the photograph. evan spent the night in the hospital, miraculously, mild concussion, a bit of whiplash but he was released. >> emazingly, evan is 100% fine. not even a scratch, absolutely incredible. nature video can sometimes
4:04 pm
be a little bit boring. sometimes it can be beautiful. sometimes it can captivate you. this is dead man's cove on north cornwall in england. the videographer noticed some cracks and things happening on the cliff. he started to notice some dust. starts to fall. watch closely. look at the mountain give way. >> look at the people who are walking up there, they're pretty close to where it started falling. >> there were a few people up on top. park service had closed the area off. they thought there might be some sort of collapse. but this happens frequently. but it's very unlikely to capture it on camera like they did here. >> i was going to say how are you just randomly standing there with your video while this mountain disintegrates in front of you? what are the chances of that? >> very slim. geologic experts say super-slim chance of catching it on camera. it's just erosion, the waves, the water, the ice kind of decaying the lower part of the cliff there.
4:05 pm
and it just started to break away. and the guy was in the right place at the right time. >> pictures, they're all pristine and they're like come visit cornwall, come visit dover. they never show that part. >> and also, too, this footage is a real good resource for geologists around the world. to have it on camera, see how it unfolds, is very valuable. probably not a good idea. action! ♪ ♪

apple icon steve jobs had a signature style. you know the jeans, the glasses. and the black mock-neck shirt from st. croix. they are temporarily out of stock of that very shirt that he loved so much. and the reason is they say they're selling ten to 20 times the amount they usually did. and so they've run out. as soon as they'll be able to get them to people is october 28th. you can still order them, but they won't be shipped until then. >> just in time for halloween, i guarantee that's where all the shirts are going to wind up. >> how much was he paying for those. >> what? >> he was paying about $175 per shirt and the people are buying the shirts at $175 per shirt. but the company is using this as sort of a steve jobs tribute. they're donating $20 from each shirt to the american cancer society. you realize steve could afford these shirts, right? >> i wonder how many he actually
4:07 pm
had? i wonder if he only had just one. >> i would like to see the closet. black shirt, black shirt. >> do you guys think it's a little creepy or weird that people are buying these shirts? >> no. i think it's completely normal for people to go out and try to get themselves a piece of what that would make them feel connected to steve jobs. >> nick, would you buy one? >> not for $175. i'd go to target and get a $10 mock turtleneck. >> if you go to target and get one for $10, still pay $20 to the american cancer society and you get the best of both worlds. >> hank williams junior is at it again. a week after the he appeared on "fox and friends" and referred to president obama as hitler, he has now made his musical rebuttal. ♪ so fox and friends ♪ want to put me down ♪ ask for my opinion ♪ then twist it all around

lyrics for the song, i'll keep my freedom, guns, religion and you can keep the change. well what you're looking at here is a nigerian traffic cop. at first you think okay he's directing traffic the way any traffic cop would. you see him start directing traffic in an odd fashion. he does it with his legs. now, a leg straight to the back. ha does that mean? it seems that everyone in nigeria understands his traffic directions, i personally have never seen anything quite like it. this is a -- photo shoot that mischa barton recently did with a very controversial photographer, tyler shields in london. these photos can be seen on tyler shields' website, tyler
4:10 pm
shields.com. >> i don't like looking at that. it's gross. >> what is this for? >> this is just kind of his style. he creates photographs that make you respond and have a visceral reaction to them. and this is no less, it just happens to be mischa barton. >> just gross. something about raw meat next to someone's body doesn't matter whose body it is. >> gross. >> her, lady gaga. >> i assumed this was something for like vegetarians or vegetarianism. that it was supposed to promote a healthier nonmeat festyle. noin outut this lookspetizing. >> it was just an idea this photographer had. they found something raw to do with raw meat. another star no stranger to controversy is miley cyrus. but this time, she is doing something quite nice, actually. this is a story i found in the "daily mail" in the uk. she has taken her second trip to haiti to help people with hearing disabilities hear again
4:11 pm
by fitting them and distributing hearing aids to them. music is so important to her, so important to her her entire life. she said she can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to hear music. that's why it's so fulfilling to her. if you see the photos, it's a completely different side to miley than we generally get to see. >> it's refreshing to see photos of her doing this and helping people out rather than photos of her smoking salvia on tmz. >> she's a role model for so many young people and she's had some missteps in the past. maybe this will get more young people involved in charities and philanthropic organizations. where is captain sully when you need him? a cessna ditches into the ocean. hear the really simple mistake that nearly cost the pilot his life. alien spacecraft may land in san francisco soon. if ufo phil can make his dreams for alcatraz come true.

guys, i have some crazy video that was just released by the u.s. coast guard. this happened in midday on friday, it was 13 miles off the coast of honolulu, a cessna 310 just ditches right into the water. the pilot, brian miller, ran out of gas. he called the coast guard and the coast guard was ready when the plane hit the water. they were following him for an hour and a half over the water. and as soon as he landed, he was completely prepared for what was going to happen. so was the coast guard. >> i got to think -- don't you fill up before you go? like how do you run out of gas? >> he did say that the wind was a little bit higher than he would expect that day. so it was causing him to use a lot more gas than he had planned for.
4:15 pm
>> that's an amazing feat that he was able to land the plane on the water. >> you have to land it perfectly at an 11-degree angle to land on the water and for the plane not to flip or to break the wings. so he did a great job with the landing, especially in a rough ocean. >> he had some great coast guard guys, think they coached him through that really well and prepared him for contactually how he would have to land the plane. so he wouldn't have to take a nose dive right down into the water. >> he's very thankful and said he's going to meet with the coast guard guys in the next few days to thank them personally. this is a cool story we found at wcpo out of ohio. >> i went downstairs, i woke my husband, he had fallen asleep on the couch. i said hey, we're having a baby today, get up. >> their transportation, a 1989 toyota corolla limited edition. >> mom, nancy kern was rushed to the hospital and has baby joe anna kern in the back seat of the car. this is joe anna kern now, she's about to turn 16 years old and
