Caught on Camera

- Season 1

(2010)

A mother cheers on her teenage daughter in an after-school fight; a McDonald's customer loses her cool over Chicken McNuggets; a woman puts a cat in the trash! A donkey is sent soaring through the sky on a parasail; and violence erupts at a tow yard. These are fights that are bold, thieves who are brazen, and unbelievable scenes that couldn't be more bizarre. And it's all Caught on Camera!

A dangerous chase, a daring maneuver, and a crash -- that's not to be believed; one dog leads a trooper to a burning building..and The Dog Whisperer tells us why, plus insight into what led another dog to take a bite out of a cop's bumper. Then, a suspect who seems to take a bite out of the evidence. In this hour, tense situations...heartbreaking stories..and moments that have to be seen to be believed.

Imagine being trapped in a burning car, flipped upside down on the runway, crashing to earth in a helicopter, clinging for life to a tiny tree, sent flying by a truck, thrown from a moped or plummeting down a rocky canyon... When a miracle -- or a lifeline -- or a good samaritan appears, and you make it out, alive!

Bad behavior..it seems to have become an epidemic. From road rage to bullying over the internet, to fist fights on reality TV. In this hour, you'll see it all: chaos in the streets; a bridal alteration that becomes an altercation; a video vigilante confronting a cop in a no-standing zone; bullies scared straight; a case of sticky fingers; devastating daycare; and a battle for a parking space.

It came without warning:one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history. And in 2011, "recorded history" means something very different than it once did. This time- when nature unleashed its power, the world was a witness...to images like we'd never seen - captured like never before.

We're surrounded by dangerous material and equipment that is taken for granted and, when used properly, safe. Usually there's not a problem with compressed gasses, high-powered machines, or explosives. But if one little thing goes wrong, the consequences can be disastrous. In this hour; the biggest explosions; raging infernos; terrifying escapes; brave responders; exploding projectiles; massive flames, and enormous fireballs.

In law enforcement, only one thing is certain: you never know what can happen. On any given day...at any given moment...chaos is just around the corner. Life and death are separated by fractions of a second...or a split-second decision. And sometimes, there's only one chance to get it right. The dashboard camera is our witness in this hour, featuring a fleeing killer, a suicidal mom, an out-of-control semi, and a host of officers willing to risk everything to keep citizens safe.

A reporter under attack; a referee hits the mat; a falling tower sends a cameraman and others running for cover; and a police officer faces an out of control chimp. They're on the job, facing unbelievable situations...from bizarre... to death defying.

This hour features the stories of a race car driver hitting the wall, a kiteboarder slamming into steel poles, motorcycle riders scraping the street, super athletes pushing the limits, daredevils going for broke ... and a family going over the edge. Thrill seekers have many ways to pump up the adrenaline: racing cars, four-wheeling through canyons, parachuting from bridges. You name it ... and the daring will try it. But when something goes wrong, the result can be terrible. Is a near fatal injury worth the high? Watch and you will see that for some folks risk is its ...

When you buy a ticket to a sports event or comedy show, you expect a couple of hours of entertainment, a chance to sit back, relax, and enjoy. But the spectators you'll meet in this hour, got much more than they bargained for: Massive waves taking out surfing fans; a bull charging into the stands; spectators attacking; bleachers collapsing... a plane crash-landing at a baseball field; and an off-road vehicle veering off track. It's not always fan appreciation day.

Dangerous materials are used everyday, usually without incident, because safeguards are in place to minimize risks. But accidents, both natural and man-made, happen all-too frequently. And when highly flammable materials are involved, the ensuing disaster often results in a fireball. In this hour, watch as massive industrial accidents lead to unbelievable explosions, fuel leaks level buildings, gas stations erupt into infernos, and rescue workers put it all on the line.

From the absurd... to the embarrasing... to the just plain shocking... these viral videos capture our attention, one way... or another. Almost instantly we want to forward them along. But how can you know if they're real? See if you can tell truth from fiction in this hour of fantastic recorded tales.

You're about to see some incredible stories of courage under fire as we explore one of the most dangerous scenarios a person can face: A close encounter with a gun. In this hour, people's lives are suddenly thrown into jeopardy as they meet with a daunting test of survival: brave officers caught in the line of fire... desperate criminals creating chaos... disturbed minds seeking vengeance. And somewhere, somehow, the cameras are rolling.

In this hour, we bring you high impact, low bridges, and crushing life or death moments. Watch as a truck torpedoes through a storefront-and strikes a young woman; a monster machine wreaks havoc on a small town; a daring air-show stunt goes from fun to frightening, and a high speed chase - with a truck, trailer and lawnmower- spins out of control, hitting speeds upwards of ninety miles an hour.

It's human nature to get angry, and while most of us try to calm down before things get out of hand, sometimes emotions boil over. When they do, situations can easily spiral out of control. In this hour, you will see people who lash out in frustration, despair and rage as violence erupts in a court room, tempers explode on a bus, teenage girls beat each other bloody, and customers attack a restaurant's staff. And it's all Caught on Camera!

Police officers have a lot of equipment to help them fight crime : guns, tasers, and cuffs. But many also have another powerful tool: the dashboard cameras installed in their police cruisers. As you'll see, those devices are often the silent partner that can speak volumes. In this hour, cameras capture fists flying at traffic stops; cars careening out of control... and a plane in trouble... landing on a highway. They are some of the most dramatic, electrifying and unbelievable moment, and they're all caught on dashboard cameras!

It can occur in a flash, with devastating impact. And the few who have felt the jolt of an electric shock know just how brutal a force it is. When we control it, electricity powers our lives. But when it's unleashed, high voltage can be terrifying. It can kill with a touch; drop suspects on the spot; and blast the unsuspecting. Whether it's a bolt out of the blue, an electrifying fall, or a dangerous climb: ... what you're about to see is sure to be shocking.

A school bus driver...drunk on the job; an elderly man...who robs banks at gunpoint; a priest...on a belligerent tirade; and an armed thief with impeccable manners. These are not the usual cases; not the usual suspects; not even the usual species...but they are all Caught on Camera!

Then, there's a fisherman who thinks he's hooked a shark, but it's the shark who's hooked him. Also, a driver who takes a dangerous path, a cop caught off guard, and a skydiver hurtling toward earth. These are unexpected situations, with unpredictable endings, improbable suspects... and what in the world is a car thief doing on a golf course?

In this hour, we bring you two mid-air collisions that send daredevils plummeting to earth, a lurching plane that drops from the sky and crashes into a lake, and a man teetering on the edge, requiring a harrowing rescue 70 stories above mid-town Manhattan!

Breaking the law is one thing... fighting the law is another. In this hour, you'll meet people who challenged authorities - a cornered criminal taking on more than 100 federal agents; angry teens ambushing deputies inside the halls of justice; a distraught dad snapping, and critically wounding a police officer. These are all men and women who battled the badge. Some used guns... Some used fists.. one even used an eighteen wheeler! But no matter the method... They all have one thing in common: Somebody was there to capture it on camera.

Hundreds of thousands of videos hit the web every day, but only a select few really grab the public's attention and go viral. And sometimes, these videos seem a bit suspicious. In this hour we'll watch some of the web's most popular videos: stunts too insane to believe; animals acting like humans; and pranks that push the limit. They've all gotten millions of clicks...but what is the truth? We've got the answers.

Some end with a crash, other's a mid-air rescue, and some are broadcast, on live TV! But hey, it's no use crying over spilt wine bottles! In this hour, we bring you profiles of several nine-to-fivers who weather the storm, and live to tell the tale.
