hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. it's time for the best videos from the web and the stories behind them, "right this minute." he smoked a burnout that left

cops steamed. now meet the mustang man himself. did you spend time in jail? >> i spent 20 hours in jail for this. a mom putting her kids to bed finds a pantsless man in her house. >> no pants, no boxers, nothing. >> hear how her husband fought the intruder and the zany twist. a mother locked out of her own house with the two kids inside with this naked man. a high-speed smash-up leaves a freeway in flames. but incredibly -- >> somebody is able to climb out. >> you'll see the remarkable moment when the survivors are reunited. and the girl has got marriage on her mind. >> she says, i know it's only been two weeks. >> two weeks! >> oh! >> witness how the bold proposal goes bad. [ bleep ]. a big weekend car show, the texas 2k12 event, people from all over the country come and show off their cars.

this was off site where people gather to show off their cars. a whole bunch of people gathered around, looking at the parade of cars. close quarters to be doing that, right? next car in line is this ford truck. does the same thing, chirps his tires for the crowd. next car is a silver ford mustang. people love the burnout! except for a couple harris county sheriffs. [ yelling ] he got arrested. part of the crowd is angry at the officers for, you know, stopping the fun. some of the other people in the crowd are angry at the driver of the mustang saying, oh, you ruined it for everybody. now it's a little bit more about what happened is the driver of the mustang, 21-year-old thomas patton bangston. patton, you're in the middle of your burnout and sheriffs come and knock on your window. what did they say? >> they didn't say much, just

reached in and completely grabbed me, which i thought was dangerous. it startled me. >> did you spend time in jail? >> i spent 20 hours in jail for this. and in the end of everything, i got charged with an unsafe start from a stopped position. >> and what did that cost you? >> well, it was $200, but since i was in jail, i got time served so i didn't have to pay anything. >> do you think it just should have been a ticket? >> he told me he arrested me so everybody else would stop doing burnouts, because everybody was doing them. >> apparently some people there said you ruined this for everybody. what do you say to those people? >> honestly, i don't think it was that big of a burnout. some people liked it, some people didn't like it. it's just how it is with everything in this world. >> the very first rule on the texas 2k12 website is please do not drive in an unlawful manner, there will be police officers at the meet working that will ticket you for anything that warrants it. don't be the next youtube sentation. >> oh!

this made for quite an interesting evening. who we're seeing in this video is lindsay bolden from manchester, new hampshire. she was putting her 5-month-old baby and 3-year-old daughter to bed. she walks into her living room and she saw a man with no pants on. >> just a t-shirt on, no pants, no boxers, nothing. >> this man wasn't her boy friend. he was a stranger. her boyfriend was in the house, derek mcnut. [ laughter ] >> you knew that was going to happen. >> the other guy -- >> didn't know what this guy was there. apparently drunk, trying to rob the house. but he wouldn't leave. >> so i yelled for derek. >> derek comes down, and this guy has a baseball bat. so they start getting into a tuss tussle. >> this is the wrench he started hitting me with. vice grips at me right there, so i threw them right back at him. >> until derek decided to go at the guy with a high chair until

it breaks. >> i threw it at him and it hit him and broke. >> this is where the story gets weirder, because derek and lindsay then run out the back door to get a baseball bat out of the truck. when they go to go back in, they realized the book door just locked. they run around to the front, the front door is locked. so now they're looked out of their own house with the two kids inside with th nakedma eveuay,onto their own home, derek is able to sort of shoo this guy away with a shovel. before the guy takes off, he popped derek's sweat pants on and booked it from the house, picked up moments later from the police. >> i think i would have gotten my kids and girlfriend out of the house first, called the cops and let him sit in there. >> imagine the moment where you realize, we're locked out of the house and the pantsless guy is inside with our kids. the blob that you see on the right hand side of your screen is a blurred-out stripper. now, the stripper that is

blurred was 17 years old at the time this surveillance video was shot. >> whoops. >> the woman you see going up to the stage to give this stripper some cash is the stripper's mom. >> no way. >> well, mom was arrested, and here is mom's mug shot. this is 42-year-old christina lopez. >> why was mom arrested? >> mom was arrested for allowing her 17-year-old daughter to strip. now, the story gets a little stranger here, though. >> stranger than what you've already said. >> yes. the stripper, her daughter, is nicole madrill, 17 at the time but now 18 years old. now, according to nicole, she started stripping at the strip club in order to feed her 2-year-old daughter. >> oh, man. >> and nicole is actually supporting her mom. she says her mom was only at the strip club that night, because she had begged her to come down to bring her some money to buy

some food. the reason this is all a big deal, is a few months ago, mom actually spoke to some news outlets, because she was outraged that her 17-year-old daughter was allowed to strip. >> it makes me sick, because there are sex offenders out there. to me, she's still a little girl. >> once she spoke out, police started investigating the situation. that's when they saw this surveillance video. but oddly, this was her daughter's last day stripping. the club was fined $6,500, according to reports. the owner of the strip club believes that the mom helped set up this entire ruse so there could eventually be a lawsuit. this dramatic accident video comes to us from taipei, taiwan. i want you to look at the car in the left-hand lane. the dash cam is going to capture a three-car accident. oh. oh! >> oh. >> whoa. >> the car that was in the

left-hand lane in front of the car with the dash cam hit the there were three cars involved. this dodge van immediately burst into flames. and you could see how the freeway was just covered in debris from this accident. >> it looks like a bomb hit there. >> you can see the person backing up. >> the car is upside down, and somebody is able to climb out. >> wow. those flames just came out of nowhere. they were like instant. >> somebody who was in on the rescue effort said in one car the flames were so intense that it was difficult for them to rescue the driver. but they were able to do it. but there was at least one fatality in this accident. >> wow. amazing there weren't more. >> about a minute and a half later to two minutes later, the rescue crews arrive on the scene. people involved in the accident come around to the other side of the ambulance, and you see them just hugging on each other after realizing what they have survived. >> on that highway, there's just stuff everywhere. pieces of cars, flames.

this guy asks his wife -- >> if you are traveling 80 miles per hour, how long does it take you to go 80 miles? >> oh! >> why -- >> see how she answers the 80 miles per hour question. and see how the world's smallest horse and a giant tortoise make for one freaky play date. >> now all they need is like a three-legged dog and blind cat.

south beach in miami, florida is a popular destination this time of year because it's spring break time. some violence broke out that had some people pretty scared. this is at one of the busiest intersections in south beach. and a gentleman heard some arguing going on on the street below. so he grabbed his cell phone

camera, it was about 4:00 and t catch a fight on camera. but instead, this is what he caught. you can heari sevaler rounds and the fight seems to be between these guys you see standing on the corner on the sidewalk and bikers that keep going by on their motorcycles. and you can hear their motors as they're skidding past as this gun battle starts. the guy who caught this on camera is terrified of revealing his identity, because he is fearful of retribution. so he didn't show himself in this interview. we got this from wplg in miami. >> so beth, were the bikers shooting back? was it sort of a drive-by or were the guys on the sidewalk shooting at the motorcyclists? >> from the reports i read, it sounds like both were involved in the gunfire. that both had guns. that it was a verbal argument

and things got incredibly rowdy and everybody started pulling their guns. now, police did eventually catch up with some people that they questioned. but currently no one has been arrested. >> anybody hurt? >> surprisingly, no serious injuries were reported after all this gunfire. everything seems to look better to through the lens of a gopro, including the riding at mayhem trails. we're looking at a professional bmx rider from madrid, and a mountain bike rider. they did side by side action on these trails that is absolutely awesome. >> that's pretty cool. >> that's pretty neat to get that side by side view of these guys flipping, twisting, jumping over these awesome trails. >> so how are they doing this? >> hard to tell, but i think he's following along. looks like the trails on this place have two distinct and separate trails side by side. in certain spots he can get next to him and shoot his action.

>> also, one view we don't see often, he has the gopro attached to the bar between his legs, like a crotch cam. >> crotch cam. i think that's what they call it, that's a professional term for it. >> they've got to keep coming up with new ways to get a look at this, because there are videos like this all over the internet, so the krom crotch cam is a way to get them noticed. flat-out shocking video to show you guys. it starts out with a man asking his wife a question. >> if you were traveling 80 miles per hour, how long does it take you to go 80 miles? >> now, the shocking part of this video is chelsea has no idea. what do you think, chels, let's go through the process. what do you think? >> oh -- >> why is she blonde? why is she blonde? >> well -- >> chelsea goes into all these crazy weird equations about how fast she can run a mile. >> i run the mile in about nine minutes.

>> if the tires are pumped up. >> the tires are a little flat so they may not move as fast as a police officer's tires. >> and all this stuff to figure out how long it would take her to go 80 miles if you're going 80 miles an hour. >> sometimes tires turn faster than others. turn about 400 times in a mile. because, i mean, i think a truck is probably slower because it weighs more. i would just cut it right in half. i can run one mile in seven minutes. >> you know what? we have to give her credit. she is trying really hard to figure this out. >> but she doesn't mean to. >> the answer to -- >> you don't know the answer. >> i do know the answer. >> you can guess just like i can guess. >> i'm not guessing. i'm using math, science. >> all i say, she better be really good at other things. >> i was thinking the same thing. i hope she is a real, like -- in the kitchen, i'm saying. >> okay. >> i can run one mile in seven men's. minutes. >> tomorrow on "right this minute." >> we are going to make a vortex

cannon. smoking in class is not a bad thing. >> that's tomorrow on "right this minute." steve plus para foil equals this. >> skimmed the top of the mountain. that's crazy. >> they call it speed flying. see what these guys can do. rain storms, slow traffic. why not do this? >> is there no hands on the wheel for how long? >> distracted driver or musician? is you decide. next.

this is something i would love to do someday before i die. it's called speed flying. i've seen it before, but i thought the angle they took on this one was just incredible. this is pedro torres in the swiss alps and the camera he has got is on the tip of his skis so you've got a really unique view. the other man in the video is nicholas cotch. speed flying is when you've got a para foil over your head and skis on and you can ski fast and skip over all of the boulders and anything that gets in your way. fly right over the tough stuff. they skimmed like top of a mountain there. that was crazy. >> yeah, but think about it. you could go down a diamond

slope and not be an expert skier, just use a parachute so you could guide over. >> i think that's scarier than the black diamond. >> here, watch this. this tiny little slot in the mountain, and -- >> oh! >> right through. let's see that again in slow motion. and from the rear angle. look at that. right through that cut. and barrel roll. >> oh, man. >> these guys are brave. >> pretty cool. >> they're making it look really easy. i just love it. i think this would be such an awesome feeling to experience. that is sarah too longa, she is a tortoise and she has a very interesting friend. >> is it a hare. >> it is a horse. >> einstein. when he was born, he was the world's smallest horse. he weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces. >> is he named even einstein because he's really smart?

>> really smart. when sarah is full-grown, she will be twice the size as einstein. >> whoa, the tortoise will be bigger than einstein? >> yes. >> oh, look how cute that is. how do they play together? >> they could put a saddle on the tortoise and the horse could ride the tortoise around. >> now all they need is a three-legged dog and blind cat. so girl has been dating boy. is she really, really likes him. so on a very special day, this year's leap day, she decided she was going to propose. >> she is going to propose. >> now, the reason she is doing it on leap day is because it's irish tradition that on this day is the only day a woman can propose to her lover. [ inaudible ] >> this is the best two weeks of my life. >> she says, i know it's only been two weeks. >> two weeks! >> oh! >> two weeks? oh! oh, honey, no. no, no, no. >> she is ready to commit to him for the rest of her life.

and is here she goes. >> i wanted to -- >> whoa. >> yeah! >> will you marry me? >> this is a stage 5 clinger. i would think you've got to be joking right? if i'm a dude? >> i would run. this is scary. >> so he says no. >> she gets so angry -- [ bleep ] i think she started kind of beating on him. she was not happy. >> this is real? this isn't like a skit, like a made-up skit? >> i'm glad you're saying that, because i have a feeling this is fake. well, if you want to see what happens next, head on over to our website, righthisminute.com. righthisminute.com, right? >> right? >> this -- >> minute. .com. ♪ so what would you pay for this baby?

a lawn mower that barely needs you. >> for you to be able to sit in your office -- >> oh, yeah. >> and mow your lawn with the touch of a control? that is cool. >> see how it works and what it costs. coming up. or anew has got some

explaining to do. this guy is commuting on highway 101 in the bay area, and he drives up to this toyota. play close attention to the guy

driving. >> tarmac? >> yes. >> playing along to the radio? what's going on? >> i have no idea. >> is there no hands on the wheel? for how long? he went through the trouble to cover the top of the guitar with plastic because it's raining out. so he plans on doing this for a while because he doesn't want his guitar to get wet. >> i would have imagined somebody would have -- maybe a cop would have pulled him over, even if just to say hey, dude, you're doing something dangerous here. >> going really slow, bumper to bumper traffic and sometimes the radio, there is nothing on. >> absolutely unjustifiable. seems like nowadays everything is remote controlled. now you can sit in a lawn chair, maybe your living room and cut your grass with this remote-controlled lawn mower. of course it has a cool name like the trx-34. it was developed by the summit lawn mower company. more specifically, by a guy named john wright. he worked on this thing for 30

years. it has 426 parts in total. and i think it's kind of useful for something like this, when it's a steep hill that would be hard to ride a mower up there. now you can do it from a distance. he has this thing completely designed to be stable and upright on a steep hill. so far, he sold about 30, mostly for industrial use. it would be cool to cut your backyard with something like this. >> i guess. a beer on the deck while you're mowing the lawn. >> he kind of compared it to a video game. he said you could even attach a camera to it. watch the camera and then cut the grass. and that would be like a video game. they're selling for anywhere between $2,000 and $7,500 so a little bit pricey. but again, he has sold 30 so far, available online. >> i can see for industrial use being between $2,000 to $7,500 but that is a lot of money for being lazy. >> hold on a second, though, when it's really hot and humid out and for you to be able to sit in your office and mow your lawn with the touch of a

control, that's cool. >> yeah. that's going to do it for us here at "right this minute." thanks so much for joining us. don't forget, another half hour of "rtm" is on the way. stake around.
