Oklahoma H.S. Fundraiser Video Shows Students Licking Toes ... School Under Investigation

Fox 25

Video from a high school fundraiser of students licking toes has gone viral online ... and it's got parents up in arms while an investigation seems to be startin' up.

Here's the deal ... during a fundraiser earlier this week at Deer Creek High School in Oklahoma, several students appeared to get on their stomachs and lick peanut butter off the toes of other students.

Check out the vid, originally obtained by Fox 25 ... it's pretty gross stuff -- some kids are down on the basketball court while others are laid back, kicking their feet up and letting them lick away.

The whole video's caused a firestorm online ... with tons of people on social media calling out organizers for allowing a stunt like this to go down in the first place.

Among those upset X users ... Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters who posted a tweet letting his followers know his agency would be investigating exactly what went down.

Deer Creek High isn't copping to any wrongdoing here BTW ... saying in a statement that all the students volunteered to do this and no faculty or staff members were involved in this particular game.

The school also pointed to the more than $150k they say they raised for a local charity ... seemingly saying the money's a damn good reason to move past the controversial games played.

An anonymous statement from a parent whose child goes to the school to FOX 25 sums it up well ... with the parent saying the money's great, but the school needs to admit this probably wasn't the best way to go about it.

Bottom line ... the school's sticking by what happened, but lots of people seem to want someone to put their foot down on this kinda behavior.

SOUTH CAROLINA ALLIGATOR Casual Neighborhood Stroll Scares The Hell Out of Dog-Walker!!!

030124_alligator_scare_kal
SEE YA LATER, ALLIGATOR

You don't expect to see an alligator strutting its stuff on a residential sidewalk, but that's what happened in South Carolina ... and a poor woman almost ran right into this thing!

Check out this wild footage ... it shows a rogue croc casually chillin' right in front of a person's home in Hilton Head Island Wednesday before the owner innocently strolls along with her dog ... completely oblivious to the scaly surprise waiting for her.

She actually gets within inches of the gator before finally noticing it -- she wasn't even on her phone, BTW, so it's crazy that she didn't see it -- it scares the bejesus out of her.

The woman flinches so hard when she spots the reptile that even her dog gets spooked -- and the scaly beast wasn't too thrilled about the sudden commotion either. It immediately opens its mouth and hisses ... looking ready to go into attack mode!

The woman falls flat on the ground in shock ... but after bouncing back up, she bolts a little distance before looking back to confirm what she's actually seen. Her panicked cries cause such a scene that it draws other neighbors out of their homes ... and you can hear them chatting about the gator off-camera.

A dude is also heard trying to connect the dots ... asking the woman if she's got some kind of creek or body of water on her property that the gator's trying to get to. All this happens as the gator makes a move ... casually sauntering into her greenery like it owns the place.

Turns out, the gator's field trip might not be as surprising as it seems, as sources tell TMZ there's a pond only 5 minutes from this location ... which is probably where it came from.

We're also told that the gator wasn't done with its little tour of the neighborhood. It made a comeback around 5 PM, this time ending up in the neighbor's backyard ... watch the footage.

Luckily, it didn't stick around for too long -- vanishing into thin air once again ... and not harming anyone or anything. Animal control wasn't called during the whole thing, FWIW.

CAMIONERO DE KENTUCKY CUELGA SOBRE EL RÍO DESPUÉS DE UNA COLISIÓN Increíble rescate

el gran rescate
Fox News

Una situación de pesadilla absoluta vivió un conductor que se encontró colgando de un puente de Kentucky el viernes, literalmente tambaleándose al borde de la muerte.

¡Tienes que ver este clip! Una cabina de camión y parte de su remolque estaban colgando sobre el río Ohio luego de una colisión en el puente Clark Memorial, pero el equipo de emergencia de Louisville llegó rápidamente arriesgando sus propias vidas para salvar al conductor.

El escuadrón de rescate entró en acción, con un miembro de la tripulación colgando y yendo al rescate como una especie de superhéroe. Honestamente, es el tipo de cosas que ves en las películas.

Como se puede ver en las imágenes, se las arregla para conseguir que el conductor salga del vehículo, y con cuidado lo deja en un lugar seguro al rededor de las 12:45 PM.

A pesar del caos en el puente, ningún otro vehículo se vio perjudicado y la policía confirmó que nadie resultó gravemente herido.

Parece que ambos lados del puente están actualmente cerrados, ya que oficialmente concluyó la operación de rescate y solo queda limpiar la escena por completo, tiene sentido.

Es un milagro sin duda, y todo gracias a la valentía y rapidez del equipo de emergencia.

KENTUCKY TRUCK DRIVER DANGLES OVER RIVER AFTER COLLISION ... Daring Rescue On Video!!!

030124_bridge_rescue_kal 3/1/24
THE DARING RESCUE
Fox News

An absolute nightmare situation unfolded for one semi-truck driver, who found himself dangling off a Kentucky bridge Friday ... quite literally teetering on the edge of disaster.

You gotta see this wild clip ... a truck cabin and part of its trailer hung over the freezing Ohio River following a collision on the Clark Memorial Bridge -- but the Louisville emergency crew were on it like lightning ... risking their own lives to pull the driver to safety.

The rescue squad swung into action, quite literally -- with one crew member repelling off the side of the bridge like some kind of superhero. This is honestly the kind of stuff you see in movies.

As you can see from the dramatic footage, he manages to get the driver outta the vehicle, and carefully works them both back up to the safety of the bridge by 12.45 PM.

Despite the chaos on the bridge, no other vehicles got tangled up in the mess ... and police confirmed that nobody thankfully was seriously hurt from this ... or worse.

Looks like both sides of the bridge are currently shut down as they officially wrap up this whole rescue operation ... and clear out the scene completely. Makes sense -- you wanna get this buttoned up before opening up the roads again.

Safe to say ... it's a miracle this didn't end up being worse than it was -- of course, thanks to the courage and quick thinking of the emergency crew. Mad props to them!!

ECU Gunman Exchanges Gunfire w/ Cops on Video ... Allegedly Shot Employee

022924_ecu_gunman_kal_v2
SUSPECT DOWNED BY COPS

Police in North Carolina have taken a man into custody after he allegedly shot a college employee ... and their confrontation with the suspect was all caught on video.

Greenville police officers said the alleged gunman -- identified as 38-year-old Savell Hightower -- was taken into custody after they say he shot an East Carolina University employee outside a local elementary school in what they're currently calling an unprovoked attack.

Police say the alleged victim encountered a man on a bike before that man apparently fired at him at least five times. The 27-year-old ECU employee sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Fast-forward a bit ... and cop cars flying down the street apparently drew the attention of a local citizen who started to film through his windows as a man calmly rode by the house on a bike.

It appears he caught the moment two police cars pulled up with officers hopping out, guns drawn and pointed at the man on the bike. It looks like the cops open fire though it's unclear from the video if the man is firing back -- though police say he did fire at officers.

Somehow, the suspect was reportedly uninjured, and cops say they managed to get him into custody without further incident.

Hightower is reportedly booked on multiple charges, including attempted murder counts, assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a stolen firearm.

Viral Sensation CboysTV Destroy Home With Snowplow ... That Scared Me!!!

CboysTV

YouTube sensation CboysTV is topping their last outrageous stunt with a destructive new video ... and TMZ has an exclusive first look at the upcoming upload.

The Internet group -- a Minnesota-based motorsports collective known for pulling off wild stunts by using outrageous vehicles -- is dropping a new video tonight ... in which a red snowplow is used to help demolish a literal house.

In the new footage above ... the CboysTV crew – which includes Ben Roth, Ryan Iwerks, CJ Lotzer, Micah Sandman, Ken Matthees and Evan Sheff – drives a massive plow into the front of a single-car garage. The infrastructure is no match for the plow ... as it only takes a few collisions to create real damage.

The group -- that boasts 3 million subscribers and 1 billion views -- eventually turns their attention to the nearby house ... which the group owns and was already set to be demolished, for the record. It's not like they were destroying some innocent bystander's home.

In two different shots ... the plow is backed up into the home -- with one member declaring, "That scared me." We on the other hand ... couldn't help but cheer along with the CboysTV crew.

Of course ... this is only a taste of the destruction to come -- with the full upload dropping on CboysTV's YouTube channel tonight at 6 PM PST.

Florida Alligator Charges Golf Cart, Tries Biting Man Tooth Close For Comfort!🐊

File this under ... ONLY IN FLORIDA!

A couple cruising in a golf cart was nearly bitten by an angry alligator earlier this month ... when the fearsome reptile charged them, and it was all captured on video.

The 'hell naw' moment occurred on February 16 in Ave Maria, FL ... about 35 miles northeast of Naples.

A woman named Denise Prues was hangin' around her pool when she spotted a gator slowly walking between her and her neighbor's property, toward a pond ... which was separated by an active golf cart path.

While the camera was rolling, a cart came by without issue. Then, a second came rolling through ... and the gator charged, attempting to take a bite out of the driver, who was clearly startled, as Prues freaked out.

"Oh my god!" she yelled.

FYI, it goes without saying, you don't want to get bitten by an alligator ... no matter how small. They can apply upwards of 2,000 PSI when they bite. Compare that to a lion ... with 600 lbs. of bite force. Humans output a measly 120-ish lbs.

Luckily, everybody, gator included, was okay.

Una pareja que paseaba en un carrito de golf estuvo a punto de ser mordida por un caimán furioso a principios de este mes, cuando el terrible reptil los atacó, y todo fue capturado en video.

El momento ocurrió el 16 de febrero en Ave Maria, Florida, a unas 35 millas al noreste de Naples.

Una mujer llamada Denise Prues disfrutaba en su piscina cuando vio a un caimán caminando lentamente entre ella y la propiedad de su vecino. El reptil se dirigía a un estanque y tenía que pasar por un camino por el que pasaban carritos de golf

Un carro pasó sin problemas, pero un segundo vehículo apareció y el caimán trató de darle un bocado al conductor, el cual estaba claramente asustado.

"¡Oh, Dios mío!", Gritó.

No hace falta decir que una mordedura de caimán es algo bastante impresionnte, no importa lo pequeño que sea. Pueden aplicar más de 2.000 PSI cuando muerden. Compara eso con un león... con 600 libras de fuerza de mordida. Los humanos producen unas míseras 120 libras.

Por suerte, todos -caimán incluido- estan bien.

Ex-UFC Star Brendan Schaub Flips Truck Off-Roading ... Wild Crash Caught On Video

Crashing & Dashing

Brendan Schaub flipped his truck in a terrifying off-roading crash earlier this month ... and the wild accident was all captured on video.

It happened while the former UFC fighter was trying to show off his souped-up TRX for an episode of his "Tune Town" YouTube show.

The 40-year-old took the ride to Johnson Valley, Calif. for a day of fun after getting it all tricked out ... and, initially, everything was going according to plan.

He and the vehicle were getting good shots blowing through dirt, sand and boulders -- and despite getting stuck at one point, the afternoon still appeared to be a success.

But, as he was getting set to leave, Schaub tried to spin some donuts ... and lost control.

You can see in video that Schaub posted to his social media pages, his airbag exploded as he was thrown around inside of the cab.

Thankfully, he was able to make it out of the car relatively unscathed ... though he did reveal he suffered a concussion in the wreck.

"Definitely didn't need another one," he said of the head injury. "But it could be a whole lot worse."

Schaub wrote on his YouTube page that the truck cost him in the area of $200,000.

"My favorite vehicle I've ever owned is that TRX," he said.

Schaub noted that he learned from the incident that he needs to be more patient ... but he was able to joke about it all -- writing on his X page, "The only question after flipping your truck is….but did you have fun tho?"

Brendan Schaub volcó su camión a principios de este mes y el salvaje accidente fue capturado en video.

Ocurrió mientras el ex luchador de la UFC estaba tratando de mostrar su TRX en un episodio de su programa de YouTube "Tune Town".

El ex luchador de la UFC de 40 años se fue a Johnson Valley, California, para pasar un día de diversión después de haberlo equipado todo, y al principio, todo marchaba según lo previsto.

Él y el vehículo iban de lo mejor a través de tierra, arena y rocas y a pesar de quedarse atascado en un punto, la tarde todavía parecía ser un éxito.

Pero cuando se estaba preparando para salir, Schaub trató de girar y perdió el control.

Usted puede ver en el video que Schaub publicó en sus páginas de redes sociales que su airbag explotó cuando él fue lanzado dentro de la cabina.

Afortunadamente, fue capaz de salir del coche relativamente ileso, aunque reveló que sufrió una conmoción cerebral en el accidente.

"Definitivamente, no necesitaba otro", dijo de la lesión en la cabeza. "Pero podría ser mucho peor".

Schaub escribió en su página de YouTube que el camión le costó al rededor de $200.000.

Cam Newton Dragged Into Brawl ... Fight at 7v7 Football Event

CAM VS. EVERYBODY

Cam Newton appeared to get in a fight with a group of guys recently ... and it was all caught on video.

The former NFL quarterback's right in the middle of a group of guys who have jumped on him, and he's trying to hold them back without swinging back.

As they spun around, another man in a white t-shirt came up and threw a punch at Cam, a blow that appeared to make contact with someone.

Ultimately, Cam fended off these people long enough to receive help from others -- including a police officer who came in and backed several individuals away from Newton.

There's not a lot of context about what started the brawl which seems to have taken place at the B.E.S.T. Academy 6-12 in Atlanta.

Busta Rhymes Seemingly in Physical Altercation ... With Rapper Nizzle Man

Busta Rhymes seemingly got into an altercation at a club last night ... with fellow rapper Nizzle Man, appearing to draw much of his ire.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Here's the deal ... video of a melee leaked to the popular IG account The Shade Room, and it seems to show Busta getting right in Nizzle Man's face.

Nizzle Man appears to have fallen down the stairs -- whether he tripped or was pushed is unclear -- and Busta's running right after him, grabbing the guy by the wrist to have a word with him.

Not clear exactly what went down ... but BR's not happy with the dude one bit, berating him as a couple other guys drag the 23-year-old rapper down a corridor away from the action.

A few people make to follow after Nizzle and Busta, but several others who look like event security step in front and block them from going any further.

We've checked ... doesn't look like their any pre-standing beef between the two MCs as far as we can tell.

Choque masivo en China 100 carros apilados a causa del hielo en las carreteras... Ningún muerto

Salvaje choque

Un impactante accidente múltiple en China dejó a 100 carros apilados y parece que todos sobrevivieron a la terrible experiencia, que quedó registrada en video.

Los medios estatales de China publicaron el video, que ahora está por todas las redes sociales, donde se ve una enorme fila de coches embestidos unos contra otros en extrañas posiciones, con un vehículo incluso descansando encima de todos en un ángulo casi vertical.

También se pueden ver escombros sobre la autopista y a la gente saliendo de los carros para ayudar a sus compañeros, aunque la policía local está diciendo que todo el mundo está más o menos bien, con solo algunas personas heridas.

La policía del Parque Industrial de Suzhou publicó en sus redes sociales WeChat que tres personas habían sido derivadas al hospital por sus lesiones y seis sufrieron rasguños menores, pero según ellos, todo el mundo sigue vivo.

Reuters está apuntando al mal tiempo como la principal razón detrás de este accidente, diciendo que el país ha sido golpeado con ventiscas y toneladas de lluvia.

El medio también informa que ha habido más gente circulando por las carreteras debido a las recientes vacaciones del Año Nuevo Lunar.

Por cierto, estos enormes accidentes no son totalmente desconocidos en China. En 2022, más de 200 carros se vieron implicados en un accidente múltiple provocado por la niebla, según el diario estatal Global Times. Según los informes, una persona murió en ese caso.

WILD WRECKS

The aftermath of a 100-car pileup in China looks absolutely terrifying on camera ... and yet, it seems everyone survived the horrible ordeal.

Chinese state media posted the video, now all over social media, Friday which showed a huge swath of cars rammed into one another at odd angles, with one vehicle even resting atop several others at a near vertical angle.

Debris litters the freeway in the vid, and people can be seen clambering out of cars and looking to help their fellow crashed drivers ... but, local police are saying everyone's pretty much fine with just a few people injured.

Suzhou Industrial Park traffic police posted on social media platform WeChat saying three people were headed to the hospital for their injuries and six suffered minor scratches ... but, according to them, everyone's still alive.

Reuters is pointing to a recent bout of bad weather as the main reason behind this crash ... saying the country's been hit with blizzards and tons of rain.

More people have been on the roads too, the outlet reports, because of the recent Lunar New Year holiday.

BTW ... these huge accidents aren't totally unheard of in China. More than 200 cars were involved in a massive pileup in 2022 caused by heavy fog according to the state-owned Global Times. One person reportedly died in that instance.

Amazon Van New Video Shows '21 Train Split ... Now Seen From the Inside!!!

022024_train_amazon_kal
Off The Rails
TMZ.com

An Amazon van got split in half on a railroad track a few years ago -- the aftermath of which looked absolutely wild at the time ... but it doesn't even compare to what you can see now.

TMZ has obtained new video from a Nov. 2021 accident that happened out in Milwaukee as a driver was driving along a road out in the countryside -- while he just so happened to go over a railroad crossing ... with an oncoming Amtrak train that he didn't see or hear.

The driver's name is Alexander Evans, and somehow ... he survived the direct hit -- which completely bisected his vehicle ... and quite literally leaving it cut in half with 2 big chunks.

Like we said, based on the pictures alone -- it's a miracle Evans escaped this nightmare relatively unscathed ... and that goes doubly after you watch the whole from his perspective inside the actual van. That POV is seen in this footage we got ... and it's insane.

You can see Evans going about his business and driving along casually. He makes a left-hand turn to get over the tracks ... and that's when the train comes barreling through his van.

Evans gets completely rocked inside ... and even after the immediate impact, the train goes zipping by right behind him. He's able to get his composure and starts to unbuckle himself -- seemingly looking okay. In the end, Evans only went to the hospital out of precaution.

FURGONETA AMAZON NUEVO VIDEO MUESTRA al TREN PARTIDO ¡Desde el interior!

FUERA DE LAS VÍAS
TMZ.com

Una furgoneta de Amazon se partió por la mitad en una vía férrea hace unos años, y fue un momento bastante impresionante... pero ni siquiera se compara con lo que acaba de salir a la luz.

TMZ ha obtenido un nuevo video de un accidente de noviembre 2021 que ocurrió en Milwaukee, cuando un conductor estaba conduciendo a lo largo de una carretera en el campo, hasta que, de repente, apareció un tren Amtrak que ni vio ni oyó.

El nombre del conductor es Alexander Evans, y de alguna manera sobrevivió al impacto directo que dividió por completo su vehículo y, literalmente, lo cortó por la mitad.

Como hemos dicho, basándonos únicamente en las imágenes, es un milagro que Evans saliera relativamente ileso de esta pesadilla... sobre todo después de ver su perspectiva dentro de la furgoneta. Las imágenes que tenemos realmente son una locura.

Se puede ver Evans conduciendo tranquilo. Todo marcha bien hasta que hace un giro a la izquierda para pasar por encima de las vías, y ahí es cuando el tren viene a barrer con todo a su paso.

Evans queda completamente sacudido en el interior, e incluso después del impacto inmediato, el tren pasa zumbando justo detrás de él. Consigue recuperar la compostura y empieza a desabrocharse el cinturón, aparentemente sin problemas. Al final, Evans solo fue al hospital por precaución.

Por cierto, hemos obtenido otro ángulo del accidente y esto fue desde la parte delantera de la furgoneta, la captura del momento del impacto, cuando se puede ver el cristal rompiéndose en el parabrisas.

Vale la pena señalar que Evans le dijo a los medios de comunicación locales que estaba sordo del oído izquierdo y que no escuchó la bocina del tren hasta que fue demasiado tarde. No podía creer que había sobrevivido a esto.
