hi, everyone. i'm beth troutman. time to take a look at some great videos and the stories behind them, "right this minute." >> there it is. there it goes. >> a secret video surfaces with a whole new view of a national disaster. >> that is the "challenger" as

it launched into the area. >> hear the confusion as people struckled to make sense of what they are seeing. a driver hits a cyclist and takes off, until another driver chases him down and delivers a little street justice. >> honestly, i never really expected him to stop. >> today is the first day of lent. lint or lent? lent. because i have not stopped making jeremy lin puns. i'm not giving that up. >> now meet the guy who penned a song of lin puns. >> the response has been incredible. >> and bat manning is over. a new craze. >> i'm going to call supermanning. >> we're going to get our show started today with never-before-seen footage. >> look at that sucker. >> this was just posted on newscientist.com. look what's in the sky. that is the "challenger" as it launched into the air. the "challenger" disaster happened on january 28th, 1986,

just 73 seconds into flight. if you remember, seven crew members lost their lives. >> flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. obviously, a major malfunction. >> they're on their way. >> this new footage was shot by a guy named bob karman at the orlando airport. the airport is 50 miles from the launch site. listen to everyone in the airport experiencing this together. >> there it is. there it goes. >> wow. >> this is the moment right here where the "challenger" explodes and you'll see the two plumes of smoke separating in the air but the people at the airport don't understand what's going on. >> they have no idea what actually happened. >> neat. >> they think this is what's leftover of the actual shuttle launch. >> there goes the one up. >> the people connected to the video makes it even that much more impactful. >> because we've only heard the

people who understood what was going on. according to bob, they didn't realize what happened to the "challenger" until after they were on their plane and the pilot told them that the "challenger" had exploded. this little girl right here in the video is 3 years old, named kim karman this is bob's daughter and she works for new scientist and she posted this video. >> they were just going -- she was just going through old tapes and remembered hey, i remember this video my dad shot of me and said this might make for great content. >> bob karman always remembered filming this event, but he was recently researching historic footage and found out that there was only one other amateur video in existence. bob was like wait a minute, i have one of these too. >> he didn't realize even at the time the magnitude. >> back then you couldn't distribute it like now. these old tapes take on much more meaning because you can get it out to the masses quickly and

easily on-line. >> there it goes. this is in north ridge, california. notice how the car is in the cross walk turning on red and hits the bike this girl is on. you think this person is going to get out of the car. >> oh, no! the car just took off and left? >> right. so, the person in the car behind happened to have a dash cam and they followed the other car and caught up with him. >> like a high-speed police chase all of a sudden. >> the car pulls over and the man with the dash cam gets out. he points and lets him know you're being videotaped. to tell us about the video he captured on his dash jcam we hae john lafreniere right this minute. what were you doing with a dash cam video where you caught this? >> i'm a computer technician and always experimenting with electronics. that's one of the things i do. kind of an electronics geek.

>> when the car pulled over and you actually got out and told him that you had this on video, were you scared? were you afraid this person might have a weapon or might be angry? >> you know, when i was reviewing the video later i never thought of that. at the time i just wanted to get out and tell him he shouldn't be leaving the scene. >> seemed like a split-second decision but at any point did you think should i be doing this is this. >> at the moment it happened and i saw him drive away i was torn between helping the girl and following him. i could do her more good if i could follow lo him. because she didn't look like she was injured. i never expected him to stop. my goal was to get his license number and go back and give it to her. i was surprised that he stopped and it worked out the way it did. >> did he go back to the scene as he told you he would? >> that's one of the reasons i went back to make sure he did go back and he actually parked the car right across the street and walked back to the scene of the

accident. >> you got to hand it to the everyday heros in life. this video is trending big and it's in the bowels of a building, a guy with a white suit and hammer and banging on this valve. starts to spring a leak. pretty gross looking stuff. >> oh. >> here it comes. this is in the bowels of a water treatment facility. they are shooting a hose. >> they are trying to keep this stuff off of all the other pipes and trying to preclean as the stuff starts to squirt out. guy is going to give this valve a few more taps. >> why? >> oh! >> that is not duki. it is at a water treatment facility but not -- it's almost maybe a little grosser.

this is grease and fat from nondigestible human waste. the thing he's standing on is called the scum pot. >> wait. so this is separated duki? >> [ bleep ]. >> like they've sifted through oo they opening up this pandora's box of grossness? >> because the scum pot that man was standing on top of was clogged. >> oh stinks so bad. >> [ bleep ]. >> look at it. it's going down the hallway. >> of all the things to have robots designed to do, they don't have robots to do this job? >> i can't look at it anymore. >> looks like pea soup. >> grandmothers are usually very consider ate, prudent, right. not this in argentina. that is, in fact, a she is about to attempt a

real-life frogger grandma edition. >> oh, geez. >> on a very busy boulevard in beaus no i res, argentina. look at the black car. he swerved to get out of the way. ended up ramming into the guardrail and smashed his car. amazingly, inside of all the traffic, look, grandma is still walking. >> this is like a five-lane highway. >> notice, he caused a major traffic jam because that car spun out but how did she possibly think she was going to cross five lanes of traffic with that small break in traffic. did you see the rush of cars coming after she stepped into the first lane? >> maybe she thought she could cross that side because she just crossed the previous side. must have crossed this other group of traffic. >> they caught this on the security camera and i think they zoomed in on her after they probably saw her crossing the first set of lanes. >> how did she not get hit by the truck? >> she makes it.

that's the most amazing thing. she makes it. >> and seems to have no concept of the mayhem she just left in her wake. >> when she gets to the other side she keeps walking. he is the new york knicks basketball player lighting up the sports world and now the web is bowing down in pun praise to jeremy lin. >> lin puns. can't get enough of them. >> lin-sanity gets a song and you get to lin-sen. >> the three frenchmen riding their bikes around the world and across the toughest terrain. >> wow. >> traveling on $10 a kay. >> wow. >> often not wearing shirts. people are wanting to know if you have met ladies along the way. >> the video, the stories and the answer to my all-important question, next.
