hello, everybody, i'm beth troutman. are you ready for some great video? let's get started "right this minute." we're calling this one j-palooza. streets, lights, sirens and the

canine unit. but that's not the end of it. see the ugly scene where the suspect was finally yanked out of his car. >> they're pulling him in six different directions. >> you guys hungry? >> because this guy has insulation you can light on fire and shove down your gullette. >> i've been eating this off and on for five years and i'm perfectly healthy. >> the campaign to save cougar town goes viral. now one of the stars tells us new ways die-hard fans can view the show. >> the response to these viewing parties has been so overwhelming. >> and meet the guy who has been serving icy lake michigan. >> so why? it's time to get things started, and gayle has our top story. >> part of a 25-mile police chase was caught on dash cam video, and charleston county, south carolina. but what happened after they got ahold of the suspect has sparked a state investigation. investigators say it all started

when suspect timothy mcmanus almost hit sheriff al cannon's car. so he turned on lights and sirens, and the chase began. shortly thereafter, gunfire gets the driver to stop. and as you can see right there, the cop is coming to the scene, hits another car. they pull the suspect out of the car. and they start hitting him. and you think, okay, they've got their guy. but that's not the end of it. that is a police dog. you can see a sheriff's deputy patting the dog's back while he's biting the suspect's arm. [ sirens ] >> they're like pulling him in six dierent directions! wh'she tir objective here? it's like -- trying to contain him, it looks like he's not giving up to put his hands behind his back. >> they get him in the back of a police cruiser, and then the sheriff makes an admission. he says, while the suspect is in the police cruiser, handcuffed,

he hits the suspect. >> i slapped him with my open han. i said, you could have killed a lot of people out there today and i slammed the door. >> i'm not condoning what they did, but you've got -- you've never been in that situation. >> but you've got to contain yourself. you've got to act professionally. >> in retrospect, that was wrong. that's not something i would accept with my folks. and it's clearly not something that i would accept of myself. >> guys, take a look at this dash cam video from a metro bus. >> whoa! holy cow. did it flip the bus? >> it looks like it flipped the bus. but no, that's actually the camera being jostled. what you're seeing, two angles of a dash cam from a metro bus in bethesda, maryland. and a toyota tacoma truck

passes the median and hits head on. as you notice, the driver is quickly turning the steering wheel as the truck is coming toward her. she is being praised for her swift actions. because she did that, she saved other passengers from being more severely injured. this incident happened a few days after christmas, on december 29th. authorities are just releasing this video because they completed their investigation on what happened. they do think the toyota tacoma was at fault. the driver of the tacoma was killed. and the bus driver was trapped inside the bus. they had to pull her out, and is she was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and several of the passengers were also taken to the hospital with injuries. >> that bus was going -- yeah, it was going about 40 miles per hour. you've got to imagine the truck coming the opposite direction is probably doing about the same. that is a terrible accident. man, that happened so fast. >> me and my brother, we come out here, this is our home state, our land here.

>> rudy and his brother, they generally go out on their land near the water to look for arrowheads. and in finding arrowheads, they stumbled upon what turned out to be a woolly mammoth fossil. >> cool. >> the most amazing thing is, i would not have seen that, and assumed, oh, look, that's something special. i would have assumed it's a rock. >> that's what i wondered. did they know they found something special? did it look like a giant elephant lying in the mud, or did they call somebody in? you know? >> the back of it right there was a jaw -- we realized it was a jaw. it was wider. she has an extra layer of teeth. >> so he called archaeologists at the university of oklahoma, and they believe it is a woolly mammoth fossil that is about 11,000 to 20,000 years old. the woolly mammoth went extinction 10,000 years ago. >> gee. >> that's incredible. >> all that finding all these

years may have put them in the mud to begin with. >> i don't know if they found the weapon that killed the mammoth, but they did find a tool that they believe was used to dress the woolly mammoth after a big hunt. >> take him down. >> yeah, i want to go out there with a pick and fossil brush. do . >> do it. follow your dreams. >> she has left the show to look for fossils. you guys hungry? >> yes. >> yes. >> always. >> see if this gets your appetite going. we have seen a video like this in the past. a guy demonstrating some super insulating phone. >> these are our cabinets. >> these guys are in a foundation in riverside, california, their research and development foundation that works on these things. but you see, he's mixing around this foam. he's got it on his hand. >> this is what they asked me to do. >> he purposely puts this blow torch, 7,000 degrees, directly
