geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. hello, i'm beth troutman, and we have some awesome videos for you "right this minute." a guy's out for a ride on a ski machine. >> and he's going to rocket up the side of this mountain. >> too bad he doesn't know what's on the other side. >> everybody hear the hard breathing?

because i just [ bleep ] my pants. >> a swan is frozen in place on a lake. >> the swan is exhausted. it can barely hold its neck up. >> how rescuers are coping with the killer cold blasting europe. >> some cops at a store get fed up. they deal with scum. day in, day out. but don't think they're supposed to deal with an accused shoplifter like this. >> trilogy. >> he's a youtube sensation. now we put the man with the amazing word trick to the test. >> oh! hold on to your hats, beth. because this video -- that was close.d d. >> the guy takes a ski-doo near the border. he's got his goggles on, and

he's going to rocket it up the side of this mountain. now, you notice there aren't any tracks here. >> which can be exciting. it can also be a little dangerous. it looks beautiful up here at the top, right? >> oh, my gaucosh. is he going to fall over the top? >> he gets up to the summit of this big snow, and watch -- >> oh! >> a huge chunk of snow that he and his ski-doo were sitting on just chunks off and flies down the side of the mountain. >> straight down. that's like a cliff. that's not really a mountain anymore. >> he immediately jumps off the thing. you listen how he starts breathing like super heavy, as you can imagine. his life probably flashing before his eyes. >> everybody hear how hard i'm breathing? because i just [ bleep ] my pants. >> how did it break like just in front of him? what luck.

>> holy goodness. >> you're like gripping the desk. she's, like -- >> this is nerve-racking. he's right at the edge. >> and he manages, it looks like, by the end of the individual yes, he manages to get this thing pulled down to safety. and he's alone, too. he's got no backup. >> nothing. >> if he would have got off the other side of that -- we wouldn't have seen him till spring. >> europe has been blanketed by a severe snowfall that has caused dozens of deaths not only of people but animals, too. and this video shows a rescue going on in romania. a swan was stuck in the snow freezing to death. they saw him and went out to rescue him, as you can tell, the swan is exhausted. it can barely hold its neck up.

>> you know, it's a miracle they were able to even see the swan because -- yeah, she blends right in with the snow. >> they were experiencing a very mild winter. and suddenly that mild winter turned into severe snowfall that is causing the freeze. people have died throughout europe. many of those are people that are homeless. kids that are poor and probably live in homes that don't have any heating. temperatures have dropped to negative 25.6 degrees fahrenheit. more than 11,000 people have been cut off from the world. >> you've got to think, there's still all those animals outside who have to live in this super-cold weather. >> how incredible are these rescuers to take the time and the effort in these cold temperatures to get out there to rescue a swan. >> guys, i am going to need your opinion on this next video to tell you if you think the officer in the video did the right thing or not. this is surveillance video from 2007. it's in a department store security office.

the man in the top left corner is suspected of shoplifting. he's already been handcuffed by the store security officers. and in walks a denver police officer to take over the arrest. he transfers the handcuffs. the guy turns around, complies. and at some point, he must have said something to the cop that the cop did not like. because he gets a face full of wall. >> oh! >> the cop gets up in his face, has him by the scruff of the neck. i don't know what he's saying to the suspect here. and then grabs his hair. >> oh, whoa! >> pulls him back and throws him down on the ground. >> seems a little excessive. >> his hands are already behind his back. he's already cuffed. seems unneeded. >> denver police say an anonymous tip led them to investigate this video. just recently the denver manager of safety issued a four-day unpaid suspension to officer rick guzman, the one pictured in this video. >> you've got to hand it to police officers. they deal with scum day in, day

out. some days you just want to snap. >> yeah, but that doesn't justify acting like that. that's why we have laws and we have rules that protect people because not everybody that is arrested is necessarily a criminal. it's cold out in most parts of the country. i'm going to help you guys prepare for spring. take you on a little journey to austria. this is called the green lake. it's in syria, austria. the amazing thing about this green lake is it's only there in the springtime and early summer. this is actually a hiking area and a park. during the winter. >> so there's the benches under water and everything. look at that. >> and then as the snow melts on the mountains, the water runs down and forms this green lake. and the reason that it's green is because of all the foliage and the grass and everything that's underneath. this can get anywhere from two

feet up to 32 feet deep. so it becomes an actual lake. >> oh, wow. >> and people love, during the spring and summer months, to scuba dive in this area. you can scuba dive around the benches and the park area where people in the winter months would be hanging out. >> it would be real cool if there was a swing set down there. slide. >> and you try to swing on it. >> i think it's just weird to be under water and see a walking trail that people walked on a few months ago and now you're swimming by it. there's a fish there. >> i was waiting for you guys to see that because i'm so confused by it, too. wi how did the fish get here? >> maybe an eagle swooped down and picked the fish up from another body of water, then dropped him. >> and then where does he go? >> i bet you the fish is wondering the same thing. >> how the hell did i get here? where's everybody else? >> how many i going to get out of here? you guys ever take your car to one of those quick-change oil places? >> you know, a place like this. and know what happens next?

>> i don't know. >> something crazy. and it's all on video. and look at this. a herd of st. bernards. isn't this awesome? >> no. >> yep. nick's going to rain on the st. bernard parade. the story behind this video next.

chips. looks like the job is pretty much done. they're buttoning things up. a little snap of the fingers by the tech. goes in, fires the puppy up, makes sure it's running as smooth as a chevy should. turn that key and light the wick, baby. >> oh! >> do you think they put something in the wrong place? >> i would say so. i'm pretty sure chevys don't normally catch fire when you start them up. >> did you see the guy, he dropped back, dropped his bag of food. the other dude's, like, i don't know what happened. >> a third guy comes to the rescue with a fire extinguisher. not exactly sure what happened. it's not the oil. maybe a gas fire. perhaps some of the spark plug lines got crossed and a fuel injector may have caught fire. those are a couple of ideas. >> you know what, though? when you go to one of these places -- and i know you've had this experience, when you're a woman, they tell you there are 47 other things wrong with your car trying to upsell you.

i think this is the ultimate upsale. you need a whole new engine. if my car catches fire, i'll be very suspicious the next time i get an oil change. old spice is out with a crazy commercial. but it doesn't start out like -- well, you just see. >> automatic freshener softness and static control has never been easier. >> it's the lady with a typical laundry commercial. >> i just stick it to the inside of my dryer and i never have to remember -- >> smelling power! >> things change when terry cruz crashes the party with a jet ski. >> it's so powerful, it sells itself in other people's commercials! you smell like outdoor freshness. >> you smell like pine. >> yeah, i do. >> what did she say, you smell like power? >> you smell like power. >> yeah, i do.
