hi, i'm beth troutman, we've got great videos, "right this minute." a man trying to escape his burning home can only get his head through. >> a basement window. >> we've got the story behind one of the most -- >> horrifying amazing rescues i've seen. a rod to whale on a on th

pair of robbers. >> wait until you see what he picks for his -- second weapon of choice. >> oh! >> see the real fun start when reinforcements show up to help. when you shoot a can of coors into space, how do you get it back? >> that was -- >> meet the guys behind the grand experiment who answer the most important question. >> did you drink the beer? and on toddlers and tiaras, she was -- meet the whole family and all their mud-bogging, gut-slopping glory. >> i'll dvr the show! imagine your house is on fire, the only way out is through a window, that's too small for your body. that's what happened to an idaho falls man. firefighters desperately trying to get this man out of a basement window. >> you look close, there's his head and his two arms, that fire

was blocking the only other exit. >> he can't go upstairs at this point? >> he can't get upstairs. firefighters can't get downstairs to get to him. they have to bring in the heavy equipment. so close to his head. >> you see, they threw a tarp over his head to protect him from flying debris. they have to make sure the power is off to the house in case they run a chainsaw through a power line there could be pipes and other things that the chainsaws can't cut through. go his hand is coming out and they've got a chainsaw, he tonight know where they're going with the chainsaw. >> the house is on fire, the thing could burn down. >> the firefighters are there battling the fire. they're also using water which creates steam. that could burn the man. >> firefighters do manage to cut a hole large enough. >> he made it out and he was fine? >> he was able to crawl out of the hole he made by himself. >> wow. >> what an odd rescue. the guy's head exposed so he's

not vulnerable to smoke inhalation, but still, he's trapped in a burning building at the same time. >> he was banged up a little, but no serious injuries. >> this is one of the most horrifying amazing rescues i've seen. you know the saying -- fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. well, in this guy's case, it was more like rob me once, shame on you. rob me twice, shame on me. because that's what went down at the saint elias mini market in new bedford, massachusetts, it was robbed earlier in the week. then two robbers run in again, wielding knives. now the owner decides to fight back with a stick. his name is nicholas wood. he gets a stick out like it's a louisville slugger and starts lacing into these guys. eventually chases one robber out the door.

his wife then goes and locks that robber out. so now the one solo robber is inside the mini market and this guy is just lacing into him and wait until you see what he picks for his second weapon of choice. a display shelf. >> just start swinging this huge display shelf at this guy. the guy doesn't know what to do at this point. >> he's locked in and he has a knife. >> did the other robber bust through the door? who is that? >> no. those are neighbors from a close by mexican restaurant. though saw the two masked men walk by. they went down to investigate the scene. saw nicholas fighting the robbers off. so they broke into the store, to help nicholas. wait until you see the gang of people, they bust in, they start taking down the robber. it's like -- men, women, children, it's like a family affair at one point. all the people from the mexican restaurant come down. authorities were called to the scene. one man was arrested.

the other guy got away and apparently is still at large. >> we have normal monsoon rains in the philippines and you throw in a tropical storm and you've got chaos. look at this video from manila. you have a red cross amphibious vehicle going in to save people because there's been a ton of flooding. so far, 130,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. 78,000 are living in shelters and you have people stuck, needing to be rescued. and the amphibious vehicle is there when they need it. >> they're going to throw something out of the side of this vehicle. >> you can see people being pulled out. >> another person looks like he's going for a swim. >> it's funny you should mention that. some people are just going for a swim. >> it doesn't look deep enough for that. >> i don't think i would do

that. because it's not like a freshwater pond. it's not the ocean. it's not a cliff. >> you never know what's down there. it could be a bike or someone's car. >> or it could just be mixing with the overflowing sewers and stuff. >> exactly. >> the government has closed government offices and private offices because many of the roads are flooded and the train system has been shut down. i have one more video to show you. this is how bad it is on the roads in the neighborhood. >> what's going on here in sao paolo. check out these mad driving skills in one of our favorite countries. >> bulgaria. >> russia. >> because the road isn't good enough for the driver, the driver chooses to just get on the shoulder. >> right. and pass on the dirt shoulder? >> yup. >> now they're going to try to go four-wide on a road? >> yup. >> oh! pothole, didn't see that coming.

>> did you notice luigi --? seriously. >> it says luigi's caravan. >> you're not lying. >> what are the rules of the road in this place? what's the car in the middle doing? >> i think the rule is, if there is space, take it. >> luigi's caravan is in a hurry. last week, we showed you this exploding backpack. guess what -- >> it's fake. >> are they stupid doing this? >> maybe. or maybe it's really smart. see it, and decide. guys, i'd like to have a collective moment of silence as we say r.i.p., rest in peace to blewy. >> bluey is just a stupid car. why all the ceremony? see the story behind it wççñçñ

remember this video that i brought you guys last week? [ sirens ] >> i have an update. it's fake. >> no! >> this video is an ad campaign. created by a company called next in. it was designed to promote the backpack. it's called -- the yak pack. it's a backpack created in new york and then exported to israel. >> i did notice they were focusing on the backpack. >> are they stupid doing this? >> some people are asking, are they stupid, given the current climate in israel. i think it's classless, because this is a serious topic. it's israel, we're used to seeing violence like that where we wish it would stop and they're exploiting that. >> but this had a very positive outcome for the company. the video had more than 250,000 views in just three days,

breaking all kinds of viral video records in israel. >> you say it's fake, it's a fake bomb squad, this is like a set, right? >> the bomb squad police officer is an actor and the explosion was all special effects. >> if you're a viral video company, you'll take them whatever way you can get them. guys, i'd like to have a collective moment of silence as we say r.i.p., rest in peace to bluey. bluey is, i should say was, this 1982 honda civic. bluey, belonged to jazz musician harry etling in the inwood neighborhood of new york city. bluey sort of became a spectacle in the neighborhood. a bit of an icon. >> we go by and we see where the car was parked. that was the running joke. it was still going. >> i think the funniest experience we ever had with bluey was seeing harry with a

giant canoe. >> right on top of it. >> most americans don't last as long as this car lasted. >> when it was bluey's time to go, because harry worried that his feet were going to go through the rusted floor. they had quite the sendoff for the 1982 honda civic. ♪ >> a new orleans-style funeral. >> oh. >> they've got flowers on the hood, they've got music, the community came out to see this. to send bluey off. >> first of all, i want to acknowledge my mechanic, mr. dirk neal, come on up here, dirk. anybody who needs car work done, this guy's a genius, he doesn't look like it. >> the mechanic in the video goes on to say he won't be missing bluey. >> as they say in new orleans, it's time to cut the body loose. >> by that he means it's time for the tow truck to take this thing away. >> there's one older lady from the neighborhood who gets

emotional and even cries. >> aw. >> you can only see this in america. i'm very emotional. >> so long, bluey, you've had a good run, but everything comes to an end sometimes. ♪ tomorrow on "right this minute" -- >> that dance that grandpa, grandma and everybody else is doing. that's called -- chumping. >> that's tomorrow on "right this minute." and still to come -- a group of ducklings went for a little dip but then needed a little help. >> but first they did try to catch them with their bare hands. when they did work out -- >> they resorted to something else. see how they reunited them with momma duck. and some guys loaunch the first coors light up into space. >> they didn't do it just to do it. there was some science behind their project. >> hear from the trio to find out if the
