caught. >> how surveillance video led investigators straight to an ex-girlfriend. >> don't take it out on the dog. a flood of rain at rush hour leave new yorkers swimming for the subway. the story to make you feel better about your own commute. imagine seeing this in your neighborhood. >> it's a cattle stampede! >> find out what drove them down a street in suburbia. and a speed demon goes for the record on -- >> what looks like a gurney. >> how fast he went on this thing will blow your mind. >> next time go head first. it's time to get our show started. nick has our first video of the day. >> got this story from koat. this is security video from a guy's house pointing toward the driveway area. you see a woman believed to be vicky black. it's believed she threw to the dog baa lowny stuffed with rat poison. >> oh, no. >> what? >> apparently the man that lived at this house broke up with this woman, vicky black, and in an alleged attempt to get back at him, she tried to poison his beloved dog beau. >> don't take it out on the dog. deal with your relationship issues, but don't take it out on the innocent dog. right where it hurts. a man's best friend, his dog. >> and the dog will eat anything. that's what makes me nervous. the dog did eat the rat poisoned baa lowny. reports say the owner did notice something wrong with the dog and immediately made it throw up. that could be what saved his life. vicky knew there were cameras at the house. that's why she parked a little further away. that's why she's hard to see on the video. she was trying to avoid being caught on camera. but she didn't succeed. vicky black was charged with extreme animal cruelty, which is a felony. she's already bonded out. >> i can see why he broke up with her. well, how's this for a commute? a severe thunderstorm yesterday in new york city dumped 1 to 2 inches right before rush hour. this is a view from the flat iron building. you're seeing the rain coming down. there was flash flooding everywhere. even some hail coming down. so this is what was going on aboveground. but underground, the subways were hit hard too. the internet has been flooded with videos. see what i did there? pun intended. the subways overflowing with water. check these out. this one from one train. you almost need a rain jacket just to get on the subway. on a platform on 34th street, you can see something is overflowing there. water shoot all over the place. >> there's not a fountain? >> no, they don't have fountains in the subway. for a little bit of time at least they did. this is penn station. flooded. you see these people still trying to get where they need to go. it's almost like they swam up to the steps. >> well, you've got to get home. you have to wade through it. if you live in the blocks close by this subway exit. >>idhe trains have to stop? how long were the delays? >> the trains can go through. the tracks aren't flooded, just the areas around the tracks. they weren't heavily delayed. here's another platform where you see another overflowing geyser type thing. as this camera pans to the right, you see rain drops underground. you don't see that every day. last but not least, more of the same from a bryant park platform. you see water just making its way down to the train. >> you know what? this could be kind of fun. you have to make lemonade out of your lemons. it's like a water park ride. >> but when you're trying to get home at the end of the day, you already have to deal with a packed subway. the last thing you want to deal with is water being dumped on your head when you're getting on the car. the passenger on yard tram 3035 in melbourne, australia, did not like the ride they got this night. >> he reading a comic book? >> actually, he's reading an electronics catalog. now, the trams are on dedicated tram tracks, but still he's not paying attention to the tracks. he's reading his catalog. >> i can't decide what i actually think about this. given it's on an actual track, it doesn't seem like the engineers really have to do all that much. >> what about the kid who's chasing after his ball? >> well, you can't stop in that amount of time anyway. >> just run that kid over. >> i don't think what he's doing is right, but it's not as dangerous as if somebody was driving a bus. >> i would want him to be looking at the tracks. >> it that's the argument, then why are taxpayers paying for his job? >> they probably have him there for an emergency. >> which he's not going to be aware of. when you have a city job like this and people are paying your salary, people are going to be like, we don't pay you to look for a new flat screen deal. >> the guy who uploaded this said, i'm not looking for this guy to get fired. the tram also has a zero harm policy, where they don't want passengers to feel like they're unsafe. swift said he felt a little unsafe. transit services was notified about this video. they are investigating. what happened to the driver is still unknown as of yet. i have to show you guys the next phase in space exploration. nasa ran a test over the deserts of arizona yesterday. you see a c-130 plane. a pretty big plane, drop a capsule. this is the orion spacecraft. this is what the crew of the next nasa generation astronaut will be in. this is supposed to be the most advanced spacecraft ever designed. and this is a test of their landing system, if you will. this first deployment of what looks like some small parachutes, those are considered droeg parachutes. they're designed to offer stability and kind of slow entry speed. >> this is supposed to be the next advanced phase? if i'm an astronaut up and coming, i'd be like, i wish i could have driven the space shuttle. >> they'll be used to take an astronaut to mars or an asteroid. >> i wonder what they put inside the capsule. you know they put something in there. >> like a monkey? crash test dummy. >> beth's dog. >> no. >> how many calls did the folks in arizona get about some kind of spacecraft? >> get this, they're planning an orbital test flight in 2014. gone are the days of the space shuttle. hello, orion. >> i still like the space shuttle. looked cooler. it's all caught on camera, and the guy who's caught -- >> is a minneapolis s.w.a.t. team executive officer who was off duty. >> and now what he did on camera has him in big trouble. polar bears ready now. and see the mama polar bear in action. >> so, so cute. >> "right this minute." wççñçñ here we go again. it's best of "rtm" time with videos first. we have a ton of videos, bonus videos, on our website. >> this one is awesome. the slow-mo guys are back. this time they're putting a bunch of rubber bands around a watermelon until it gets so much pressure. >> how do you think of something like this?

>> those look like they're too perfect. even if it they're not, still. >> yeah, who cares? they still landed in the glass. >> pretty darn impressive. and they're showing you how they do it just in case you're wondering, did they really throw that ice in the glass? and you can get your special commemorative glass in you happen to be in london. >> i get it. the colors at the bottom of the glasses are the colors of the olympic rings. you know what was a nice touch? the lab coat. >> it makes it feel like some doctors got together and figured out how to do this scientifically. recently released surveillance video shows an alleged assault at tanner's bar in anover, minnesota. you see a guy stand up and sort of confront another guy from the table on the right. eventually that man stands up and watch what happens next. oh. dropped that guy with one punch. then you see the guy who did the punching walks away, leaves the scene. here's the thing. the guy that did the punching, 47-year-old david clifford. he's a minneapolis s.w.a.t. team executive officer who was off-duty. are you kidding? there's a lot more to the story. the guy he punched, 42-year-old ryan vanderlee. his head bounces off the cement. he suffered severe brain injury. he had to have two brain surgeries very soon after this event. has already had a third surgery. he's recovering at home. he was at one point on life support because of this. according to clifford, vanderlee was being loud and using offensive language while talking with his friends and family. that's why he stood up, went over, had the confrontation, and punched the guy. of course, attorneys from both sides are arguing about the video. >> now is it a question of, did clifford act many self-defense or was he the aggressor? >> they're saying vanderlee made the first most. he was also very, very intoxicated and acting unruly. the video just came out. it was actually released by clifford's lawyer, the alleged assaulter's lawyer, because he wants to prove his client's innocence through this video. he is facing first-degree assault. >> it scares you that somebody with that kind of temper is on a force. just a nice, quiet day in a little community in north yorkshire, england. this is a lovely little populated neighborhood. but listen, something is going on. >> oh, no! that is a bunch of cows. >> stampede! >> it's a cattle stampede! >> what is going on here? >> what happened? >> according to the shooter of this video, his name is james lee, he woke up about 6:00 in the morning in his normally quiet neighborhood. these cows apparently had wandered from a field that was a mile away from this neighborhood. they floored the neighborhood for a little bit, wandered around for a few minutes, and headed back to the field. >> can you blame them? look like it's a nice little suburban community. maybe they were tired of being out in the fields all the time. >> people in this neighborhood seem to find this funny. you can hear the guy shooting the video laughing. these cows didn't actually harm anyone. they didn't cause any real damage. this is digger the kangaroo. >> with a diaper on. >> that's embarrassing for him. >> see what he does next. and some divers go out to film a marlin and catch the unexpected. >> talk about an ultimate freak out. >> see what had one diver shaking in his suit. >> holy [ bleep ]! and don't forget, "right things feel faster the closer you are to other things going by. that's the case in this record attempt. this is a powered street luj. this guy has a harley engine strapped to what looks like a gurney. this is in lime rock, maine. the camera is shaking because of the motor. it doesn't get much smoother once he gets up to speed. the dude lays back, kicks it into gear. watch the world warp by. you can see the wind rushing. i'm ready for him to start going back in time. >> i'm waiting for a rock to come in and send him flying through the air. >> he looks like he's on a little skateboard with teeny, tiny wheels. >> this is a very controlled event. they take good care of the track. he's not the only one out there doing this speed event. they do take care to remove debris, rocks, stones. i think if it were that dangerous, they wouldn't be doing it at this track. >> how did he do? >> he topped out at 169.46 miles per hour. he just rolled to a stop. >> apparently he just stood up. >> you start dragging your feet. >> next time go head first. like being shot from a cannon. here we have digger the kangaroo with a diaper on. >> that's embarrassing for him. >> digger is presented with this very beautiful green-lined bag with zebra print. didn't hesitate one bit. saw the bag, said, you know what? that looks like a comfy spot. here we go. >> because they're marsupials. they're used to flopping into their pouch. >> or drunk. >> yeah, that can happen. you're getting down on some roo brew. >> once you have the kangaroo in the bag, what do you do with it? >> does he have to do a somersault out? now you have a prank video. you're like, i have a kangaroo in a bag. they're like, no, you don't. i'm like, bet me $5. i'm rich. we're capitalizing on mother nature. this video is just all kinds of awesome because it is a mama polar bear and her two bilittle bear cubs. this video was captured by some scientists on a research cruise ship. a few people noticed that mama bear and bear cubs were jumping on to an ice sheet. another cool part of the video is when one of her little cubs tries to jump on the ice, but he can't quite get his footing right. mama comes to the rescue. >> pulled him right in. >> so cute. >> and she was talking to the passengers on the boat like, nothing to see here. he'll be fine. >> i'm a good mom, trust me. she's like, oh, come on. >> it's almost human like. >> jeffy, god. i told you to get out over here, not over here. >> i bet little mom there was taking her cub to teach them how to swim and to catch fish. they just happened to, you know, stop on this little ice sheet, this nice little island for a picnic. >> they had to get a little rest. those are little bears. they need to rest their little bear bones. >> you can tell he worked his little butt off because he was already too tired to jump back on the ice. it looks like paintball, but -- >> this is stupid. >> so dumb. >> that's dumb. >> when guys play with paintball guns. see what damage they can do [ dog growls, barks ] bring your dog to work day... not our best idea.
