4:30 pm
hello, everybody, i'm beth troutman, we find the best stories and videos on the web so that you don't have to. let's get started "right this minute." wrangling sheep might be tough on level ground, but just try it on the side of a cliff.
4:31 pm
a car loses control and heads right towards bystanders. >> oh. >> oh, my gosh. >> what happens next you might say is a miracle. this guy has no fear when it comes to playing in powder. >> that looks like a serious family jewel accident waiting to happen. >> and a new world record attempt. >> on your mark, get set -- >> a story that will make you ask why. we like rescues at "right this minute." i have one that happened in west wales in the uk. this is a group from the rspca there. they're about to rescue a group of sheep. >> how did they get down on this beach? >> so they climbed down. they have climbing gear that they climbed down -- >> not the men. how did the sheep get there? >> some outdoorsie sheep.
4:32 pm
>> how did these sheep get down on this beach in the first place? >> oftentimes farm animals are scared because when they get into this area they are running into dogs not on leashes. so they end up running into these ledges and beaches and get stuck. so it's up to this team of rescuers from the rspca to get them out. in this video we see a team of rescuers climbing down, using climbing gear. >> no. >> so they catch them, they sedate them and put them in the bag and they're able to pulley them up to the service. >> good practice for these technical rescue teams to go down there and do this rescue stuff. if people are ever in a situation, they're well-trained. >> it's very mountainous and rocky in some areas. it takes them a long time to do it. these two, they were in the more dangerous area, and it took them six hours.
4:33 pm
they came back the next day to rescue the remaining shape. >> how many did they have to rescue? >> it took them two days to rescue five sheep. one of them had severe injuries so they had to euthanize it. >> usually when fights happen at school it's between two students. rarely is tfr between a studeit student and a faculty member. but that's what happened here. a staff member comes from behind a table and is yelling at a student. you can see here, he points at her, she swats his hand away and a fight begins. this video was caught by a camera phone, it's shaky. he then grabs her by the head and then by the throat. >> between a male faculty member and a female student? >> yes. that's what you're seeing. another faculty member had to intervene to get the man off her. the school board said we had this person removed right away.
4:34 pm
this shouldn't happen. we don't condone violence with students and we certainly don't condone violence with adults. this is school board president malik evans responding to what happened. >> we can never let our words escalate that we become so angry and violent and out of control. this video is from whec. apparently the girl in this video filed a police report. >> what a lousy role model to do this in school and in front of over students. wow. how do you lose control that bad. >> there's nothing that girl could have said that could have justified this kind of reaction. >> in this video, pay close attention to the long line of people. this is in romania. these folks look like they're waiting on public transportation. watch what's about to happen? from the side of your screen, a white mercedes. >> oh. >> oh, my gosh. how many people were hurt in
4:35 pm
this incident? >> this car actually hitfive people w e23ea-yold driver claims he lost control trying to make a right turn. this matter is still under investigation. after this happened, you see a lot of the people who didn't get hit by the car run from the scene of the accident. the driver also ran from the scene of the accident. he was driving on a suspended license. this traffic cam continues rolling as emergency vehicles come through. you can see they're aiding someone there in the street. only minor injuries from this incident. no one was killed during this accident. >> you got to be kidding me. >> no. amazing. >> were two bodies that went kaboom in the air. >> that's a miracle right there. >> everyone was okay at the end of this. they eventually caught up with the 23-year-old driver and he is currently in custody.
4:36 pm
this next clip we found looks like it could have came straight out of an action flick but it's all real. this woman is at a pawnshop. very slow inside. seems to be the only one there. not much going on. seconds later, after she walks away from her computer, watch the door to the left of her screen. >> whoa. >> two bandits come n she smash away the protective glass that was between the showroom and the counter. they jump over the counter, have duffel bags, they load up their duffel bags with electronics, silver and they're gone in a flash. >> good thing she wasn't sitting there. >> thankfully she was out of the way when they burst that glass. look at how shocked she was. you see her go in. she presses an emergency button, gets on the phone but she was shaking. >> that was a serious bash and grab. they got out of there quick. >> have they caught this guys? >> they have not caught these guys. it looks like the scene of a
4:37 pm
movie. very covered up head to toe. faces covered. not much to go on here other than a bit of clothing queues. we had them on the show before, but the guys from wanted life are back. >> back with a new surprise. >> that's awesome. >> it is awesome. take a super duper modified lawnmower wide next. and curiosity killed the cat, right? >> but in this case it saved the cat. >> how one routine check saved a kitty in a sticky situation when he was -- [ husband ] i don't talk to them as much as cindy does. good morning, chickens!
