hello, everyone, i'm beth troutman and we have the freshest videos and the stories behind them, "right this minute." a honda hauls it down the freeway with police in hot pursuit. >> and look what finally stops this speeding car. >> how the driver got trapped by a long arm and the law. how do you sleep through this? hey. a car went into your house.
4:31 pm
>> hear what the guy inside didn't. want to hang glide but not near a cliff? see how to get in the air. >> by being towed by another small light aircraft. >> don't worry. it's just as easy as it sounds. and a purple squirrel? meet the woman who proved it. >> connie, what did you think about this squirrel? >> i knew that nobody would believe us. we're kicking things off today with some great dash cam footage. and nick has the story. >> a lot of good police work and some luck played into the hands of some virginia police. see an officer had high-speed pursuit another officer up ahead. nearly hit a sussex county sheriff's deputy while he was in the middle of a traffic stop. he had somebody pulled over, came flying by, just barely misses him. he called it into a waferly police officer, and that car, the honor do, took off in high speed. but you don't see the honda anywhere in sight. that's how far ahead the suspect got. >> how did they know if they
4:32 pm
were going in the right direction? >> they have -- they know where this driver is going. watch how fast this cop approaches this intersection. when we finally get our first look at the suspect, police had blocked three directions of this intersection. the car took the fourth choice, and look what finally stops this speeding car. >> a train. >> train tracks. >> oh, man. >> the car -- this car wouldn't stop for anything else but not going to cross train tracks. the police smash the window out and pull out a 20-year-old female. >> oh. >> usually it's the guy. >> usually it is a guy. this is a 20-year-old female, audrey anna. >> she could have easily beat that train. because that train come before -- >> that's the interesting part down, and go back up.
4:33 pm
police say they had nothing to do with it. it was just pure luck. >> seems like that's the one rule she remembered from her drivers test. like stop at the train tracks. she forgot the rest, but remembered that one. this video is from brooklyn, new york. tell me what you guys think is happening. >> does this look like a violent video to you guys? >> not at all. >> not violent at all. looks like some dude is wearing socks with sandals. that's pretty offensive. >> in this video are two officers, one is officer deagoo palasios, and driving the car, john hockingo, and there is verbal confrontation between the parties. but the video ends and five minutes later, john ends up being handcuffed, spends three days in jail and is ultimately charged with a felony and is now facing seven years in prison. of according to a sworn criminal
4:34 pm
complaint, the officer said that the defendant, john, drove his car at high speeds on to the driveway, quote, causing the cop to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the defendant's vehicle. >> wait. so the cop in this video is saying that this guy, who pulled up into his own driveway, pulled up violently, trying to run him over? >> yes. >> it looks like we have the wrong video cued up here. are you sure this is the right video? >> this is the right video. what the officer did not know was that this whole incident was being taped. on friday, this video was released, and john's lawyer sent a copy of this tape to the prosecutors. >> were the prosecutors like -- uh, hmmm. >> this is a key piece of evidence for his client. and, against this officer. this will make people not want to hand the keys over to young drivers. >> what? >> right through the picket
4:35 pm
fence. >> and knocked down the entire post. >> what you just saw there was a probationary driver, or as they say in sydney, a p-player meaning they have a probationnary license. she managed to go through the fence and into the house. here's the thing. the person in the house said they were sleeping, heard a bang, but didn't get up. thought it was something else until the police came to the door and started knocking and saying, hey, a car went into your house. and your roof is caving in. >> the resident told 9 news, i was sleeping and heard a big bang, but i ignored it and the police started knocking on my door. probably wouldn't have woken up until the car was on top of her. >> you were in the middle of a good dream, took a while to get you up. >> sometimes you think you're dreaming. did a car drive into my house? no, i dreamt that. >> here's the thing. probationnary drivers clearly aren't seasoned. she is like ooh. >> just wreck your car.
4:36 pm
>> okay. well, i guess i should walk home now. . >> you can't blame all young drivers. the only thing i took out was the side of the garage in my dad's buick. they didn't know i was driving the car. still don't know what happened to the side of the garage. they do now. when you've got a house that is to be demolished, you could maybe take some hammers to it, the old fashioned way or try to fill it up with water. >> what? >> that's exactly what these guys did on the norwegian tv show "do not do this at home." they've got what looks like a fire hose poked through a hole in the roof. >> this is awesome. >> now, if you ever wondered, can a room fill up with water, this video will be the answer. it looks like they blocked off a lot of the crevices. >> they just slept everything in place, like the towels still on the rack. >> a little weird, i know. >> are they going to demolish this house filled with furniture? people need some of these things and instead they used it for a video to fill it up with water and ruin it?
4:37 pm
>> it's props. it was probably junk to begin with. i'm sure it wasn't anything good. the house is there to be demolished anyway. >> oh-oh. >> before you know it -- >> it starts to leak, and there's a big stream of water coming before the whole thing just -- >> whoa! >> you know what it reminds me of, "real genius" when they fill the house with popcorn. >> that would be fun. >> i can understand the entertainment factor. however, it kind of feels like a waste. >> this is so cool. appreciate it for what it is. pure destruction. ♪ >> had the last laugh. >> it's the preacher versus the hat man. see who wins. and this guy in the hat has a video for you. and it's called --

4:40 pm
welcome back to the show. but don't forget to check in at rightthisminute.com. great videos, all day long. one of the coolest ways to fly, in my opinion, would be by hang glider. i've never had a chance to do it. but this hang gliding video is just gorgeous. and i never knew that you could get up in the air by being towed by another small light aircraft. here's the trike that tows the other hang glider. looks just like a hang glider. but it's got a little trike frame on it. and an engine at the back. and up they go. the tow line is still attached. seems a little safer, gets you up to altitude before you plummet off the mountain. >> he's like in a cocoon. >> no, this is what you have to do when you hang glide. you put yourself into that little sack almost. it's a sling that just holds you stationary, keeps your legs from
4:41 pm
dangling. that way you're kept in a little, you know, parallel to the ground. >> that's called a cocoon. he catches a draft and goes a little higher. the tow plane was a bit lower. and just cuts away. releases the tow line and he's in preflight now. isn't that awesome? >> i think that would be a more fun way to hang glide, because would be more likely to have the truck tow me rather than saying i'm going to run off this 5,000 foot mountain. >> the pilot was in belgium. how does he get down from something like this? >> couple nice circles, pops out of the cocoon or sling. >> becoming a butterfly at this point. >> i like to think the pilot is putting his landing gear out. >> yep. >> perfect. perfect. perfect landing. in jersey shore, pennsylvania, a couple named percy and connie emmert caught this. that is a purple squirrel. >> oh, my gosh.
4:42 pm
it almost looks like the color is off in the photo. that's how it really looks. >> that's how the squirrel really looks. they actually have these little cages set out, because squirrels kept getting their bird feeders and one minute they walk out and the purple squirrel is in their cage. there are a lot of theories about why this squirrel might be purple. some say maybe they have gotten into some kind of nesting material they have used over and over again and has become part of their fur. >> maybe he got into some hair dye. >> one of the theories is maybe he did get into some ink and that's how he could have turned purple. and believe it or not, this is not the only purple squirrel ever found. back in 2008, there was a purple squirrel found in the uk. here is a picture found in "the daily mail." we have a picture from jersey shore, pennsylvania. what do you think happened to this squirrel? why do you think he's purple? >> i have no idea. i had the game warden come over here and i had taken some hair
4:43 pm
out of his tail and gave it to them and they were going to run tests and let me know what it was. >> when your wife said, dear, i saw a purple squirrel out in the yard, did you say, really? did you believe her? >> no. she is right most of the time, though. >> so can connie come in? she doesn't want to be in the skype. >> connie doesn't like to be on skype very much. >> so connie, what did you think about this squirrel? >> i knew that nobody would believe us. and that same day that we caught it was a birthday party at my daughter's. so we decided to take it down, because there was like 20, 25 people there. and then as we walked in and we said -- we got one, and they just kind of, you know, thshrugd it off. and then he brought it in. and then they had a different opinion about it, you know? and then the cameras came out and the next thing we knew it was on facebook. and now we're famous. >> i'll tell you, that's nuts. >> oh, for crying out loud. >> the great thing about going to college, you get to see lots
4:44 pm
of great public events. this guy is known as the hackman. he regularly goes to speaker circle at the university of missouri in colombia and puts on these displays, and as you can see, the students love it. however, this is a public commons area. and somebody else is there with him. >> on judgment day, you're going to be in fear. god will have the last laugh. >> there is a preacher who is known for coming on to campus named brother jed and a relative named sister cindy. they regularly come to the campus and do what a lot of people are calling confrontational evangelism. when students walk by, they say did you sleep with somebody last night? but this guy is trying to do his hack attack performance. >> she's smart. i mean, she's going to a place where there's a built-in audience and she can speak louder than he can hack. >> what do you have to say about
4:45 pm
the performance? >> oh, man. hey, everybody, for those of you -- ♪ >> she won't even let him get a word in edge weise. >> he should have hackey sacked the hackey sack right into that lady's face. >> not very nice. >> that would get her out of there. >> so students hand him a card at the end of the performance. >> and on the card, the students really paid attention to detail, because the stick figure for hackey sack man even came with chest hair. >> well, she didn't get a card like that. >> nope, and i don't think she is getting one any time soon. >> love you all. thank you very much. it's time for real or fake with e-bomb's world. >> brutal yoga ball fail. >> would do you think? real or fake? see it all, next. and our favorite dog video of the day. what the heck is going on here?

4:57 pm
does it involve a dog? >> i get so excited. this is from kiii-tv in corpus christi, texas. >> oh. >> he's so adorable. >> what happened to him, because we're not looking at a picture of a dog. >> no, we're not. he's part of a duo that last week walked into krista's spawn shoreline hospital and walked up to the doors which open automatically, walk into the emergency room and they wait patiently, because they need medical attention. >> no way. >> did they fill out the forms first? >> must have been tough with their paws. >> a little paw print. >> what happened? >> so these dogs were malnourished and the lovely doctors at this hospital offered them compassionate care. they gave them sausage and bacon and then they called the gulf coast humane society and said we need to find these lovely dogs a home. the great thing about this story, the local news crew from kiii, they actually took the puppies to the gulf coast humane
