hello, everyone. i'm beth troutman. this is the show that has the best videos and the stories behind them and it starts right this minute. a state trooper goes all superman. right there on the side of route 22. >> see the heroics that saved a

driver's life. a perfect day for a snowmobile ride. >> he starts doing something called side hilling. >> find out what pops up to save him when the earth gives way. what's a guy to do when base jumping leaves you paralyzed but still craving adventure. >> he's like, i'm going to do it again. >> he totally separates. how does he land? >> see how he does it with a little help from his friends. >> meet the girl who tied her loose tooth to the string. >> the string is tied to the arrow on a [ inaudible ]. >> we're kicking off our show with dash cam footagep. we've seen a lot of footage from dash cams. this is from jefferson county, ohio. the trooper walking up to a car on the side of the road. he realized there was a man inside who looked like he was sleeping. >> are you all right? >> this is the car of 43-year-old john courtwright. he was in and out of

consciousness and told the trooper he was having some chest pains and that he had had two heart attacks before. so bodo calls for assistance and grabs his aed. when he returns, courtwright is completely unresponsive. he opens the door. he check's courtwright's pulse and then springs into action. he begins administering cpr. right there on the side of route 22. and then a good samaritan comes in. >> i'm going to hook his aed up to him. >> a guy going the other direction on the highway, stops his car, runs across four lanes of traffic and comes in to assist this state trooper. >> oh, my goodness. >> you got a pulse over there. >> the passerby jumps in without any hesitation. >> yeah. we're going to keep doing cpr. >> two more state troopers eric derrington and greg mamula come in and start assisting with

resuscitating this man. all the while courtwright is drifting in and out of consciousness. >> stay awake, buddy. >> we see the ambulance pull up in front of courtwright's car and then the emts come out with all of their equipment and they take courtwright to trinity medical center where he makes it! after the emts got courtwright to the hospital, the emt actually called trooper bodo and said it was because of his swift actions that this man survived. >> what luck for mr. courtwright to just have pulled over and the cop pull up right behind him. this guy could have totally not made it at all. what do you do when you're caught in the middle of an avalanche? we're about to find out. check this out. a snowmobiler has a go pro camera attached to the hood of his sled and we're seeing these really awesome pictures and nelson, british columbia, canada. he starts mortering it up the hill and as he gets towards the top starts doing something called side hilling, a

snowmobiler term where your sled sort of tilts to one side. but that causes a giant avalanche that sends this guy and his sled down the hill in an instant. >> the crazy thing is seeing the perspective of the snow beginning to fall. it falls and he's kind of slow waves and then suddenly the camera is buried. >> when you see the camera go past the tree, that snows is moving. >> eventually the camera that we're seeing this from is completely underneath the snow and listen, you can still hear the motor running. >> you don't really hear anything from him. >> he's kind of quiet. >> you don't hear anything from him because one thing you can do to survive an avalanche is use something called a snow pulse, an avalanche air bag system. basically brings you to the top of the snow allowing you to be easily located by rescuers. he was wearing this thing and on the way down he pulled the cord, brought him to the surface of

the avalanche. in his comments on his channel here, he says that he thought he was goner. he for sure saw the light. doesn't say anything about whether he was with anybody, solo. >> i know he was with a friend. he said the air bag system saved his friend from having to dig him out. i think that's wishful thinking if you think you're going to get dug out from something like this. a lot don't survive from something like this to begin with. many of us travel and when we're traveling going through security, we have our precious items that we really never want to leave behind. that's kind of what happened to this woman. she is 43-year-old gloria de riglado, at the fort lauderdale international airport. pay close attention to the bin right next to her. you see something shine and then she walks away, doesn't realize that she has left her watch in that bin. that watch is a $6,500 rolex

that her husband gave her for her 40th birthday and their tenth anniversary. pay close attention to the man tying his shoes. he grabs his backpack and notices there's something shiny in the bin, looks around, grabs the rolex and a bracelet and casually proceeds to walk away. the suspect is still at large. which is amazing because this surveillance video is so clear. broward county sheriffs believe maybe he's from south florida but there is no way to tell. they're hoping someone recognizes him from the video. >> i hope that his mom or his wife recognizes him in this video and says what the heck are you doing? >> in some reports gloria said that she believes she made eye contact with his guy after she had lost the watch, but before she realized it was missing. so that i'm sure is going to haunt her. >> i hope they find him because regardless of the value of the

watch, the meaning behind it i think is even more special. lonnie is partially paralyzed but not letng them st eliveler. lni here is getting a piggyback ride to a cliff in norway. he had 1200 base jumps under his belt when in 2005, he suffered a freak accident that left him partially paralyzed. even so, he still has that adventure blood in him. >> oh, man! >> whoa! i thought lonnie was going to stay on the back of the guy, but no, he's totally separates. how does he land? ♪ >> they caught him? >> yes. >> how awesome. what a great team of friends to get out and do this with him and let him experience what he loves doing. >> he's not the only person who has a disability that does this. this video was put together by

super cheering.org which helps put together these adaptive adventures for people who are like lonnie. >> was he injured in a base jumping accident? >> he was hurt in 2005 while base jumping off a bridge. >> wow. >> that didn't stop him from wanting that sense of adventure in base jumping. so he's like, i'm going to do it again. >> he went to norway and did. >> wow. >> that's brave. to go back and do the same thing that left you paralyzed. >> talk about getting back up on the horse. >> this guy can't stand on his own, but he can certainly base jump. a fishing surprise. what's on the line? >> i'm thinking some kind of fish. >> good guess. but wrong. see the big ugly they snag. and kids love stickers and boxes. so why not this? >> i think it's a brilliant idea. >> brilliant, genius actually. >> see a new great cheap toy idea. next on "right this minute."

>> [ bleep ]. >> oh! oh! >> yes, yes. >> it's a giant crocodile. >> wait a minute. are you sure they didn't have a fish on the line and then the crock came up and stole the fish. maybe that's what happened. >> i'm not sure about that and em i'm not sure whose who's doing the fishing, the crocodile fishing for humans or humans fishing for whatever they can find. >> that's a lot of eating if they can haul that sucker on the boat. >> looks like they don't haul him on the boat. looks like he eventually gets away and gives them a nice look from the distance, saying it's a close call for you guys. >> how ask that crocodile not snap the line when he bit down on whatever he bit down on. >> he was just [ inaudible ]. >> he's probably just having some fun. next time on "right this minute" -- >> you can walk in and around these structures. there's no substructure. these are all built completely out of ice.

something? this it terrifies me. >> i'm bumped we don't see the aftermath of this guy's dopey prank. >> looks like this dude is looking for trouble, walks out of somewhere with his shirt unbuttoned in public. chances are i think that he might not be right upstairs at this point in time. tries to mess with those dudes. those dudes don't want anything to do with him. that's just stupid. this next one is all for the moms and the kid throughout. this is box play for kids. stickers that go over old empty boxes like milk cartons, tollet paper rolls. it urn your milk carton into a cow, mac and cheese box into a camera, egg cartons into a piano. you can turn paper towel rolls into bowling pins, make your own bowling set, tissue boxes into turtles, paper towel rolls into
