hello, everyone. i'm beth troutman. we have some great videos for you today. we will tell you the stories behind them "right this minute." a firefighter's helmet camera means you see what they

see. >> tom and his team go inside this burning building. >> what it's like to search for small kids trapped inside an inferno. >> a little boy stumbles through the snow begging for a hug. is he lost? nope. just dad teaching him how to fly the hard way. video that sparked debate from new york to shanghai. a carload of snowboarders do play by play on a high-speed chase. see what happened when they grabbed the camera and got in on the action. >> he came flying past us. and that ain't the sound of music. we'll kick things off with intense video. steven has the story for us. >> 33 firefighters responded to an apartment fire in san leandro, california. we get to see what it's like to be one of the rescuers, because

a alameda fire department was wearing a helmet cam. you can hear people screaming. you see there as a woman is handing over her child from a second floor little balcony there. she jumps down herself and is save. there's people rolling around on the ground and listen here. >> the baby is upstairs. >> all right. >> they get the blaze down a bit and then the most dramatic part of this video, tom and his team go inside this burning building. >> right here? >> where are you guys? >> on the ground! >> they are using infrared camera to locate the people in the building. all three children were rescued. >> what an interesting way to see what firefighters go through. i don't think i've seen it from this perspective.

>> how terrifying for this mother to go through this and hear the cries of her children. they were smart, they knew to be on the ground. >> they were on the ground and knew to scream when the firefighter came in there. they are still investigating what caused the blaze. this fire has displaced 12 people who lived in this apartment building. the residents only suffered some minor injuries due to smoke inhalation. a high-speed chase happened on interstate 40 near asheville, north carolina, it was all caught on a cell phone camera. >> let's get it on video. >> they got him. they got his plate stripped. >> look at the smoke here on the center of your screen. that's the car running from cops. as you see the smoke going, it's hitting stop sticks. look at what happens after stop sticks are hit. the cops and the car all stop in the middle of the highway. so this car, they stop. and look what they're seeing. the guy in the car running from

cops, 30-year-old kevin cooke, gets out of the car and is running from police across a busy interstate. you see him hop over the median and just barely miss this pepsi truck. >> whoa. >> and then keep running and m jump over the guardrail. >> so this is a civilian shooting this with his cell phone. >> yes, a 14-year-old named dennis mcclendon was on his way to a snowboarding trip. kevin cooke was on the run for felony probation violations. he was arrested and he will be charged with several different charges, including going 120 miles per hour in a 60-mile-per-hour zone. >> that's something you probably don't see every day. >> we wanted to find out more about this video and the boy who shot is. "right this minute" we have davis mcclendon via skype from asheville, north carolina. welcome to the show. how is it that you caught all of this action on your cell phone? >> he came flying past it's, the

man the police were chasing. and i happened to have my cell phone out. so i just started recording it. >> what was more exciteing your snowboard trip or this police chase? >> most definitely the police chase. one of the most exciting things that happened. i think we did hit the side strip also because we stopped with a flat tire a few miles after that. >> they got the plate strip. >> different parents employed different types of teaching techniques to raise their children. let me know what you think about this guy's technique. this is a little 4-year-old being trained by his dad. on this day in new york city, it was 8 degrees fahrenheit. this is dad's way to train his chideo downer developmental

difficulties due to the fact he was born premature. he titles the video eagle dad parenting approach. the reason he calls it eagle, because young eagles are expelled by mom eagles off cliffs so they can learn to fly the hard way. is he obviously cold. he is looking at passersby. he asks dad for a hug. dad encourages him, come on, keep going. keep going. apparently they did this for about five minutes. at the very end, they're back inside, and he even smiles. in western media the story is being played out a lot. the feelings are of anger, and how you can treat a child like this. but in chinese papers, dad is referred to as a proud dad. >> i guess dad is doing it with good intentions, but in my opinion i wouldn't want to see my own kid go through this. >> it's so heartbreaking. the child's face is so panicked

and in pain. just, like, looking for love instead of this. >> i think it's definitely a cultural difference for sure. this may be seen as not a big deal in china. >> we want to know what you think. head over to our facebook page, facebook.com/rightthisminute. >> watching porn in your home, that's your own business. watching porn in the state legislature, that's a problem. they are calling it porngate. this time not in america -- >> no it's india. >> this is video captured by journalists who normally aren't allowed in the state assembly house. they ran across two ministers who happ one who happened to be the minister of women and children development watching porn video. they have jammers so you can't watch your phone in the state

house, but that was broken. on this phone they also found a rave party that was shot on an indian island. here's the thing about the rave party that's caused a commotion, that party was sponsored by the state tourism department. all three of them resigned. so the opposing party could make a dig deal of it and these guys are from the right wing party. so, of course, the opposition is having a field day with this. >> just couldn't wait until you got home, huh? >> and this guy is responsible for the development of women and children? what will he claim? this was research? >> actually, one of them said we were trying to figure out what a rave party is. we welcome an investigation but we resign. because they don't want the opposition to have a flimsy excuse to win in the state house. >> regardless of their positions, they're watching porn in public. you try to hold politicians to some standard above everybody else, and they try to make these laws to make it seem we're the purest of the pure.
