accidents. >> right. >> explosions. >> i think three shots means like i'm passing on the left. >> canned an elite rescue team swoops in to save a teenager on a cliff with nowhere to go. >> marines are tough people, we know that. now meet one who braves the slingshot while his buddy laughed. >> i was actually choking and crying at the same time. you got to think if you're going to choose to attempt to rob an electronics store they're probably going to have some pretty good security cameras in place, right. >> of all places. >> here you see a suspected robber crashing through the ceiling of a fort lauderdale, florida, electronics store. >> that's a first for us. >> goes immediately for a gun that was stored behind the counter. squeezes off a couple rounds and starts to rob a couple things inside the store. an hour later. >> no. >> the suspected burglar comes

back with an accomplice this time, now they smash cabinets make off with ipods, iphones, couple customer laptops in for repair. >> they are not really worried about covering up their faces or hiding their identity. >> one guy does have a hoodie on, but you're right, the other guy is clearly visible in the videos. they look like young people and it's a little strange that they robbed it and came back. >> they did arrest two teenage boys in this case soon after the video was aired on local tv. >> our detectives were able to quickly work this case and bring in someone that was identified to us. >> another surprising little twist, the business owner said, after this video aired, the mother of one of the boys came in and returned one of the customer laptops and said, i raised my kid better th is. >> whyou're runni buses a this damage and money loss, you just can't feel

sorry for anyone, you know, at this moment in time. >> police also say the teenagers confessed to breaking into another business back in september. they're also both facing burglary and grand theft charges. would it not be cool if you could see in the dark? pitch-black. and you could see like it was daylight. >> night vision, like night vision goggles. >> they found this report on cctv. this little boy can see at night. >> come on. >> he's -- >> see like a cat? >> no joke. some people are calling him cat boy, because he has blue eyes which are highly uncommon in china and when his dad took him to the doctor to see what was going on, when they shined a light at his eyes they reflected this aqua blueish color back, just like cats do. his eyes are so sensitive to light, that during the day, he squints all day long and he has blurry vision. but at night, he can see perfectly the way most of us can see during the day.

>> i'm sure this kid says he can see in the dark but how do you know for sure. >> a reporter in china went to see this little boy and put him to the test. she wrote some things on a piece of paper with some blank spaces, some mathematical equations and took him to a pitch-black room to solve it and he came out and it was completely filled out. >> kind of cool. during the day he could put sunglasses around, look cool he's wearing sunglasses and at night he can see in the dark, that's pretty cool too. i think this is like an advantage. ♪ monday, was the beginning of the chinese new year, according to the chinese lunar calendar and in the sich wan province in southwest china, they did it big and when i mean big i mean chinese style fireworks. this video was shot by nate

hickner and sam finkel on the 23rd floor. apparently in china, where fireworks were invented many, many, many years ago, fireworks were banned in areas because of the pollution. they've recently relaxed the rules. think of this, you've got an urban area with like 14 million people and all of them are saying i'm going to set off some fireworks here, can't catch all of us, and this is what you get. >> oh, my goodness. >> geez. >> i didn't see any weather report for the area. i'm thinking that's all the smoke from the fireworks. >> can you imagine the dogs around here. they're probably going crazy. >> there are reports that these fire work shows go on for like hours. can you imagine having to be at work at like 5:00 hour with this going on. >> these people are about to get their hands on legit stuff, not like what we sdeget the sparkle >> i don't think they have to drive to ohio to get the cool fireworks. >> according to chinese legend

the reason they set off fireworks there was a myth logical animal that would prey on humans and livestock, they said he was afraid of loud bangs and the color red. if you have red bangs in your hair. >> ha-ha. the worst part about a traffic jam, at least in my opinion is, when you try to get over to the other lane and then this lane starts moving and this lane and that lane starts moving. so annoying. maybe we should adopt this method. found this video on live week. poster says it's from chechnya, russia. >> russia. ♪ >> and you see we've got a bit of a jam on a back road. this guy in the white car we're seeing here, watch what he does to kind of signal that he's getting over. >> oh, my gosh. >> kind of like his version of a turn signal. pow pow pow. i'm getting over. everyone is beeping their horn. almost looks like some sort of

demolition derby. >> there's guns, accidents, explosions. >> right. >> it keeps going. i think three shots means like i'm passing on the left. >> you think they teach that in driving school? >> maybe. >> oh! >> wow. >> and then this guy says you know what you've been beeping your horn too much and he just rams into that one car, pushes it off on to the shoulder and speeds away. >> i think he did that on purpose. >> yeah. >> i really think he rammed into that guy on purpose. >> i used to say like the traffic and the driving in new york city is pretty bad, you to drive like a maniac. here you literally have to be a maniac to be behind the wheel. >> to survive. ♪ look at this golden cape. >> wow. >> it's actually the creepy crawler that made it that will make you go -- >> wow. >> and this one might make you go -- >> oh, no!

conductor when we got off. i think i have found the single garment that has required the most number of workers to make it happen. this is a golden cape. it was created by simon pierce, a textile expert in the uk. when i said the most number of workers, i meant 1.2 million female madagascar golden orb spiders. >> that's spider silk. >> that cape is made out of golden orb spider silk. >> wow. >> each one of them was released back into the wild unharmed. >> and it looks like they got a little bit of credit having their image woven back into the gold. >> dyed gold or comes out gold? >> it comes out gold. they produce that silk in this color. 14,000 spiders, produces only about an ounce of silk. >> that's why they needed so many. >> so many over such a long period of time. >> it involves about 80 people
