hi, everybody. i'm beth troutman. welcome to "right this minute." we have videos first. a massive wildfire spawns a rare phenomenon. >> you see that right in the middle of the screen? >> find out what's behind the column of danger. >> that's awesome. a driver becomes the poster child for cars behaving badly. one little problem -- >> it's not his car. >> how he drove this one right into the ground. >> you've got hungry lions, raw

beef, you've got yourself a good old-fashioned -- >> food fight. >> see w don't want to get in the middle of this one. and one minute pena the dog is just relaxing and then she gets stuck in the bench. we've got the story behind the slats. >> do you get ridiculous things like this a lot? >> this is my first dog trapped in a park bench. a massive fire was caused by lightning on saturday in northern california. you may have seen some of this already, but what i can almost guarantee you've never seen before is this. do you see that right in the middle of the screen? that is actually a fire whirl. it is also known as a fire tornado. it is tornado-like, but it is just a column of air caught by the conditions and the fire itself. >> that's awesome.

>> all of this creates this fire whirl which is almost never caught on camera. >> does it cause any kind of damage? >> they have what's known as spotting ability which means they can propagate the fire. they can uproot trees up to 50 feet tall. see that in the middle of your screen? >> it's a tree. >> wow! >> can you imagine, those things are incredibly rare and these people were able to capture that. it's a phenomenon. >> that's what happened when it spins like that, and that sucks big things up. >> that gives me new respect for firefighters that go into these rough terrains. >> 2100 firefighters and 11 helicopters have been fighting the fire that has taken over 24,000 acres of land. >> it's like the combination of two very scary elements. extreme winds that can uproot trees and then just a gigantic fire.

this is an internet site and dvd series that shows cars behaving badly. when the driver of this blue corvette heard about mischief tv putting together a compilation of cool car stuff, he wanted to be in the video. so he gets the guys out to follow him around. in this whole 12 minutes of footage, the corvette does several rather dangerous moves. at one point they get into a nice, curvy road. they're getting some great footage but the driver isn't as experienced as maybe he should be. >> ouch! >> oh, no. >> the guy got what he wanted. he's on the tv show. he ruined his car. >> make sure he's okay. >> it's not his car. the driver of the corvette works for an exotic car dealership in maryland. the guy reportedly was not fired for this incident. >> the sad thing about this story is the corvette died in

this. >> a corvette died. >> the sad part about this story is that he put other people in danger because this is a public road and there were other cars that were driving. >> you want to know something else? the same thing happened a few weeks later, same guy, same dealership, totalled out a viper. >> it must be nice to work for your dad. >> drive your car like an animal, we'll come film it. >> and the guys at mischief tv tell us they frequently get busted by the cops. sometimes they get in trouble. sometimes the cops say, well, all right, take a hike. >> [ bleep ]. what can happen [ bleep ]. >> once again firefighters are called in to save a really cute dog. this dog happens to be peanut. and you'll be interested to see why she was caught in a bench. >> peanut is in a bench so now

the firefighters are here. >> peanut was brought to this park because these two people are shooting a documentary for a film festival and they said let's puteanut in it because that will let everybody feel got stuck in the bench. >> like a doggy prison. >> like the stocks in new england. >> do you guys get ridiculous things like this a lot? >> this is my first dog trapped in a park bench. >> so they made quick work of it and rescued peanut. >> i'm glad to see she wasn't in any pain. you might want to try this tactic. it might be a good way to meet a couple boys in blue. >> the problem is you guys would be doing this to me on this show if that happens. >> we would definitely film that. >> oh, yeah. >> that would be a best of rtm or maybe number one on friday. >> or how dumb is she? let's see. >> and i have a feeling you

wouldn't look as cute as peanut. >> i think you would look even cuter. >> i said it because i think it would be all hilarious, it would just be funny that gayle was stuck in a bench. >> you just called me ugly. >> oh, my god, no, i didn't. >> i'm being called not as cute as a puppy. >> no. you are very cute. >> you are cold. >> how did this get so bad. i meant to say that peanut is one hell of a cute -- i'm just going to stop talking. when it's your lucky day, it's your lucky day. i feel like this guy should go home and play the lottery. it looks like he's walking out of a store, walking along, texting somebody. >> that's one thing you shouldn't do. >> watch what happens next. >> oh! >> some advertisement, some sign

falls out of nowhere, just feet from where this guy just was walking. that thing would have caused some serious damage if it came down on his head. >> that would have sliced him in half. >> a lot of the commenters are saying this is like a final destination thing and it's real, but in final destination the sign falls on you and you're dead. this guy escaped the final destination chain. he looks back and is what the heck was that? >> it's even more eerie because he has some pep in his step. he's having a really fun walk down the street and all of a sudden, boom, you almost died. >> if you would have stopped for one second to finish his text and then keep going, boom! maybe the moral of the story is text and walk, because if you don't, a sign might fall on your head.

what happens on live news, well, ends up on the internet like this dude. >> did he just faint? >> well explain what happened and why an anchor said this. >> maybe we can kanoodle before you get into. >> it her reaction is great. and it's a rescue of some little ducklings who got washed away. >> the dead beat duck moms keep rolling in. >> see what

in brussels, belgium, this guy was doing a live shot. it doesn't really matter what he's saying, just watch what he does. [ speaking foreign language ] >> did he just faint? >> he had a beth moment. >> i need a barf bag. >> oh. >> the pressure of being on live

tv just get to him and he got sick? was it stage fright? >> he was only like 25 seconds in. excuse me, i need a barf bag. >> i like that he did take the time out to say pardon me. >> if he was going to do that, he did it the classy way. >> talk about an awkward moment. this one from ctv news in vancouver, canada, this anchor, andrew johnson, is trying to transition nicely out of her reporter package who used the word kanoodle. >> it's time for a full look at your forecast and maybe we can kanoodle. >> we're not going to be kanoodling. >> her reaction is great. she's like, no, we're not. do you even know what you're saying? >> i thought it meant chat. >> he claims he didn't know what

kanoodle means, which means cuddling amorously. we into it. can >> you just made the blooper reel. good job. now the cat won't play with friendly corgi. everybody likes video of a good old-fashioned food fight. but this time it's a little bit different. it's not in a cafeteria. this is another video from africa. there we see a lion just peacefully gnawing on a piece of

meat. >> that looks delicious. >> i'm not sure exactly what kind of cut that is. but another lion comes over and said give me that, and the fight is on. they roll around for a while and then they remain in this weird, still, motionless tug of war for quite a long time. it takes at least two minutes before somebody says maybe we can share. if i just take this part, it's on again. >> does anybody else find it slightly scary that it appears the cameraman is in the pen with the fighting lions? >> they didn't want anything to do with the camera guy. it was that juicy piece of -- >> eventually the scene changes to we've got this hanging piece of meat from a tree here. it looks like maybe the male, the dominant lion in this pride is getting first dibs on this, but the other two were like we want some of that too, we're trying to eat, and the fight is on again. eventually, okay, this lion is

like, all right, how can i get this thing down. you see this other piece of meat that no one is paying attention to? watch this. >> oh! >> the scene switches again to another food fight here among these lions. now, it looks like there's two pieces of meat there and two lions. while these two are fighting, that one over there has stolen it. >> that is strategy. when you see two lions fighting over food, creep up, wait till they're distracted, get in, grab the meat and get out quick. >> this old guy tv weatherman is base jumping, really. i thought maybe he base jumped from his recliner. >> oh, that is mean! >> see why he's taking the leap next. >> you've got a boot on your car? here's a solution. cut it off. >> i like this guy rocking the saw with flip-flops and gold chains. >> see what happens next, on

"right this minute." don't forget, "right this wççñçñ

michael fish is called a climate warrior. he is an iconic british tv weatherman and he's decided to do something about climate change. >> a base jump. if anybody is going to raise awareness doing damn silly things like this. >> this dude is going to base

jump. he's jumping off a building in london in association with raw panuey. >> could they at least get a helmet to fit the guy? >> no offense to michael but i thought maybe he'd base jump from like his recliner. >> oh, that is mean! >> the risk factor of this, about 100% death. >> he's got that great classic british wit and so he actually does it and he doesn't stall. watch him. >> i'm suspicious. i don't think he did it. >> really? >> i don't think he did it. >> you don't think that was him that jumped? >> no. i think it was somebody else dressed like him. you don't see him land. that's not him.

>> that isn't him. >> oh, my goodness. >> they used a big-name celebrity to get attention. >> i've got legs. how>> did that i blacked out, i think. >> so he is more likely to base jump from his recliner after all. >> yes. this is a big, huge, anybody who's had a problem with a parking enforcement officer. i think this could be in south africa. you see a big white pickup truck. if you look at the right of your screen there's a big yellow metal boot or wheel lock on the front. this guy doesn't want it there. >> no way! >> he fires up a big gas-powered saw and goes to town on it. >> the officer is right there. >> the security guy walked out of the way. he moved out of the way. >> he's like all right, man.

>> i like this dude rocking the saw with the flip-flops and gold chains. he's not yelling at the parking official. he's not getting mouthy. he's just like, okay. >> did this work? >> it not only worked, he was just like peace out, officer. dropped the boot in the back of his truck, took the boot with him, got in the truck and i like this little move out the window on his way out of dodge. he's like yeah, that's right, later. >> peace out. keeping that as a little memento. he's going to hang it by his mantle. look at what i did. >> you know what, though, i'm just surprised by one thing, that this didn't happen in russia. you would think by now baby ducks have learned their lesson, but they haven't, and they got stuck in a storm drain yet again. >> and the deadbeat duck moms keep rolling in. >> she was hanging out nearby, waiting for her little babies to get themselves out of trouble.

and by themselves i mean the firefighter department in melbourne, florida, because they are the ones that came to help rescue these little ducks. >> sure the mom hung out while the ducks were being rescued by the firefighters, but a good duck mom wouldn't let the ducks get stuck down there in the first place. >> did you see how red her eyes were? her eyes were all bloodshot and red. i don't know what mom was up to. >> she was crying. she was crying because she was worried about her little ducklings. >> or she was on a bender. in the duck sauce. >> she was crying because she's a single mom caring for these ducks by herself. where was the father in all this? ♪ it's tough to be a single duck mom ♪ ♪ single duck mom >> this firefighter pulls out of the ducks out and releases him into the wild. they get all of the baby ducks out and they finally reunite with their mama. >> bloodshot-eyed mom. >> how many of these have we seen that get caught on video. this happens all over the place,

we just don't see it. >> all right, push him out. when elephants get mad at photographers. >> that's really funny actually. i like that a lot.

camera in the back seat. you see this gstarts taki itng . eventually she says i've got something bugging me back here. let me squeeze back here. but she's digging in, man. watch, at one point she even uses her other arm to get her right arm down there even further. >> maybe she had a -- >> i don't think you should be operating somebody else's car. takes the hand out of the back of her shirt, looks at something, whatever she just -- out of her back. driving his car with the same hand. >> i don't think they're contagious, but i would -- >> there's bacteria, girl. >> i'd still sterilize it. >> i would get so many crocs wipes and just totally just
