in -- >> moscow, russia. >> see why. he's a guy who's all wrapped up in hang gliding. >> what is that cocoon-looking thing? >> and most importantly, what happens when he lands? and it's the vending machine from hell, because it never gives us what we want. >> a3 gives us a8. >> see how many tries until we crack the code. >> oh, i got it! in china, a tricky rescue because of an overflowed dam. you see a taxi driver stuck in rising floodwaters, had to bail out of his vehicle, obviously. now, these aren't just like some still, easy floodwaters. look at these things, it looks like raging rapids. >> do i see two people in the water? >> that was actually the driver's female passenger.
4:32 pm
she was able to float down to a more shallow part of the river where rescue workers were able to save her. the driver was stuck in these floodwaters for more than an hour. we got this video from ipn news. of course rescue crews show up at the scene. the first attempt to get this guy to safety failed. i think they tried to maybe throw a rope out to him or something. that didn't work. what they had to bring in next was a crane and had to dangle one of these rescue workers over this guy to give this guy a life jacket. eventually able to kind of scoop him up and pull him over to safety. fortunately, he was uninjured after this whole incident. >> uninjured, but scared out of his mind. >> and in need of a new taxi, because i don't think you're going to save that thing. on this show we've heard of babies being born in cars and other interesting places. we haven't had this yet. she got a call from her sister who said i'm about to have the baby. >> i said how long have you been having contractions?
