hello, everyone, i'm beth troutman. we have today's best videos "right this minute." >> you don't want that. >> you don't want that! >> what is that? terrorizing a boatload of guys? see the panicked rush to get to safety. you want to reach out and help. what's an end-of-school party without somebody jumping from the roof to the pool? >> but when you look closer, ian actually hit the pavement first.
4:31 pm
>> we have got the incredible survival story. a guy gets his order at a fast food joint and then wonders -- so how did that giant straw get in there? >> in your bag? >> this came out of my bag. and it's the video that proves beggars can't be choosey. >> he's just being an ass. it's time to get today's show started. and christiane has our story. >> for a group of people traveling on the strait of georgia in british columbia, the ride became very exciting when they saw this in the water. >> you don't want that. you don't want that! you don't want that! you don't want that, guys! >> i don't think they want that. >> what is that? >> that is a cooler that was swimming right next to the boat.
4:32 pm
>> a cougar as in a cat or as in a woman? >> he's got the engine! >> it seems like the cougar swims under the boat so they did end up killing the engine so that they didn't harm the cougar. >> that's worse than, like, reeling in a shark. you get a shark on board, he can't really move around. you stay clear, you're okay. you get a big cat on board, you're in trouble. >> in this part of the video, they zoom in and look, it was trying to get on the boat. >> go, go, go! >> my heart is breaking for this cougar because you want to reach out and help. >> but what do you do here? do you rescue him or what? because you could be putting your lives in danger. >> in danger. >> they're not dead in the middle of the ocean here. they are pretty close to land. so i feel like the cougar could have swam over there and saved himself.
4:33 pm
take a look at this city surveillance footage from buffalo, new york. i want to warn you, it is tough to watch. pay close attention to the people on the right side of your screen as they come walking through this intersection. >> oh, my god! oh, my gosh! >> it barely missed the guy who's left standing in the middle of your screen. he got away just in time. it did hit the person in the middle of that crowd. >> it looked like he turned right for it. >> the guys seemed to see the car coming or at least the lights. they try to get onto the sidewalk, but that's right where the car is headed. >> he was taken to the hospital right after this happened and believe it or not, treated and then released. >> wow! >> this was a hit-and-run. the driver of this car was a 19-year-old nigerian exchange student, but there were so many people who saw it, they quickly started calling 911. and within five minutes, police had this guy in custody. >> did he do it on purpose? >> that matter is still under
4:34 pm
investigation. they're trying to figure out in this group of people was targeted or if this was an accident. they do say that they don't beli believe that alcohol was involved. >> it's amazing he was launched like that and then released from the hospital that night. >> listen to what the mayor had to say. this is byron brown. >> our message is clear that if you commit this kind of crime or any other kind of crime in the city of buffalo, we are watching. the video surveillance cameras are always watching. >> it always seems like there's somebody who wants to jump from the roof to the swimming pool at the big end-of-the-year party, right? take a look at this one. this is at colorado state university at the rams village apartment complex in fort collins. this is sophomore ian smith. he jumps off the roof. and you see him eventually in the pool. looks like a successful attempt. but when you look closer, ian actually hit the pavement first.
4:35 pm
a body then sort of rolled into the pool. ian got seriously injured during this. according to his brother, he broke his ankles. he broke his heels. he has multiple broken vertebrae in his lower back, and he's in critical condition. >> he could be paralyzed. >> some of the paramedics say this guy is lucky to be alive. kusa did a story about this. the reporter in this video shows the distance between the house and the swimming pool. >> this is the edge of the building. he had to go all the way over here to the pool. >> that's quite a broad jump from the top of a house. ian doesn't even live at this apartment complex. and some witnesses at the party had said that there was some drinking going on. >> everyone was, like, don't do it! >> oh, my god! >> you hear everybody realize what's going on. >> oh, my god, he's bleeding. >> there was, like, almost a pool of blood there in the swimming pool. you can see still moving around,
4:36 pm
had to be helped from the pool. >> i don't even feel bad for the kid because who thinks to run off a roof into a six foot deep pool. even if he made it into the pool, it wouldn't have been good. >> where's his friends? they should be there stopping him. >> some of them were saying don't do it, dude, but he just wasn't listening. >> run! >> oh, my god! >> oh! >> that blood-kurlgcurdling scrs from a woman taking video of a tractor trailer stuck on a track in north carolina. >> but she's yelling "run!" >> who is she yelling "run" to? >> so the driver and passenger of the rig. if you watch closely to the left, you'll see those two people getting out of the way
4:37 pm
seconds before the train crashes into this truck. >> oh, whoa! >> and it barrelled through there. do you know what the truck was carrying? >> the truck was full of cotton bale. >> honestly, of all the things to be in that truck, nobody was hurt. but the mayor is getting fed up. this is the fifth time in ten years this has happened. >> these are accidents that can be prevented if the truck would just obey the signage, we wouldn't have this. >> there are signs there that clearly say trucks are not allowed to use this crossing. >> if that train derailed, that could have been a huge disaster. >> our friends at wsoc got a few images of the aftermath. you can see the truck now is not stuck anymore. it drives away with what's remaining of the trailer stuck to it. >> oh, my goodness. >> are you kidding me? >> the mayor of the city is considering closing this crossing for good.

of coming in and seeing what they do. basically what we're using this for mostly is to educate the public and to kind of counter all the negative press and propaganda that law enforcement puts out there. >> what does it take to be a laughing devil? >> someone with heart. you need to ride an american-made motorcycle so your gold wing won't work. you need to be there for your brother. you need to believe in the brotherhood that we share. >> for guys that just love motorcycles, are we going to see a lot of cool bikes and rides? >> you're going to see some awesome bikes including mine and some good rides. >> but no gold wings? >> no gold wings. >> you'll see us passing a few. >> oh! all right. that's okay. you guys want to check out "the devil's ride," it premieres tuesday, may 8th, at 10:00 eastern. so far we've seen people from bad lip reading dub over presidential candidates, but now they've tackled a popular song.
