>> in a split second the peaceful ride turns bloody when the enraged driver plows his car into the crowd of cyclists. a fellow rider captures the heart-stopping moment on camera. elton is among several cyclists hit. >> translator: and before i was able to look back again, the car collided with the back of my bicycle at the beginning of its acceleration, so it didnt hit me with all of its force. but the bike and i were thrown into the air, and i fell to the ground. i was left terrified from what ...

The good news is that we have great records, we have great data as far as performance goes. but when there is a failure it is absolutely important to understand why. whether the miracle on the hudson with ingestion of geese into the engines or whether there is other things going on with respect to a contained or uncontained engine failure. they will want to understand that and they want to make sure they dont see this in other aircraft across the world. >> and a guardian writer on the plane wrot...

Couple of years really. because theyre going to go probably pretty slow. any acceleration of raising rates, thats going to cause concern for investors because, like i said, that zero interest rate that we have has been functioning as a stimulus to the u.s. economy. >> all right, got it. thanks so much, i appreciate it. an unprecedented effort is under way to fight wildfires in the west. for the first time ever, civilians are joining in that fight. well tell you what they will be doing, next.

Engineers have created a robot that actually builds baby robots. it is just the latest example of the incredible advances that weve made in technology. think about driverless cars. robot helpers. touch screens at restaurants. even 3-d printers have come a very long way. in his new book "humans need not apply" jeffrey caplan says we need not be scared of artificial intelligence. but we need to reinvent our economies and societies to adjust. thanks for being with me sir. jerry, how should we readj...

I hadnt really been with police in a real urban city, its a pretty inner city sections of their district. the level of hazard they face every day is really tiekind of formidable. pennsylvania is a big hunting state with a big city in it and theres just lead flying a lot. there would be traffic stops, calls, immediate acceleration. literally, things do happen in seconds. that was one. another was simply that, my question to all of them, how are things different than a year ago. and they werent wh...

>> im very used to going over the lip, reaching free fall and landing, but i have experienced acceleration like ive never felt before. within a matter of seconds you go from being at the top of the waterfall to being at the bottom of the waterfall. its an incredibly overwhelming experience. you might say the whole experience was completely over the top, so whats next for tyler? will he try to beat his new record? >> i dont envision myself running anything higher than palouse. thats also what i...

Doing a terrible job of operating this today. what youre also going to see is this. ill stop it now so i can explain it. the officer standing, facing this car. he reaches in to presumably try to get the ignition shut off or get control of the car. then what happens, the car is accelerating. his gun comes up. he does shoot dubos at the time. the acceleration of the vehicle has caused the officer -- youll see the shaking start. you see he gets completely spun around. you wont actually see it, but ...

Ignition as the engine starts. its been said by the prosecute owes and others that he shoots him first and then dubose goes forward, steps on the gas and that is when but as ive listened to this more closely with the sound amplified, what i heard is that the officer starts yelling "stop, stop, stop" as dubos accelerates. youll hear the engine in the background going -- like the car accelerating. youll hear the shot after the beginning of that sound. its important. its not he shot him first and t...

>> the jet is completely destroyed but both pilots survive the violent ejection process. >> in our case, with this airplane, there is a minimum detonating cord that explodes the canopy around your head so the seat can can go through faster. its a big huge explosion. i remember one of the biggest memories of the whole event was the big white flash right in my face. it felt like i exploded myself. then the seat goes up to 20 g acceleration as it takes you up the rail. the ejection force itself, i ...

In hindsight, i was incredibly lucky. i walked out of the hospital the next day. >> teds brush with death leaves a permanent and profound impact on his life. he continues to jump, but hes dialed back the risky maneuvers. >> im more focused on really smooth, stable jumps. just enjoying the acceleration and the wind in your face and wearing a wing suit, most especially. sports that involve a high amount of risk usually have a really high payoff. theyre usually incredibly exciting and give you a lo...
