all of us know the phrase you'd have to see it to believe it when describing events that are amazing
or simply defy what we thought was possible nowadays though nearly everyone carries a
smartphone with them fully equipped with a camera with a simple push of a button we can record any
amazing moment that we see to further this fact we now have multiple online platforms on which
to share these videos with our friends and the world places like youtube twitter and instagram
have not only given us opportunities to share the amazing things we witness but have given us
windows to see what others have witnessed as well from fish swimming across a road to an earthquake
caught on a live stream here are five moments you wouldn't believe if not filmed
at one point or another we've all been driving and had to avoid some animal in the road but when is
the last time you had to swerve to avoid a salmon well on a flooded highway in shelton washington
in 2018 that's exactly what drivers had to do alexis leonard a fish hatchery specialist recorded
this video of dozens of fish swimming across highway 101 as she was traveling back to the
eels spring trout hatchery the nearby skokomis river had flooded after a period of heavy rain
as salmon swim into the river and nearby creeks to spawn the flooding can cause the fish to be spread
out across the flooded land in this specific instance the flooding went across the highway
as the salmon continued to try and fight the current in order to spawn for those salmon who
were lucky enough to make it across the road they made it back to the river those who didn't make
it were stranded in the nearby field as the water receded within a few hours of alexis posting the
video online it went viral and even attracted the attention of news networks such as cnn
riding motorcycles is a very fun thing to do but it can also be very dangerous
there is no telling what other drivers may do and let's face it not enough drivers maintain
a proper awareness for motorcyclists on the road now if that wasn't enough imagine how much
more dangerous it becomes if a person is riding and it starts to rain this multiplies the risk
many times over in this video an unknown rider is navigating traffic with relative ease but it
is raining pretty heavily to make matters a bit more difficult the rider has a passenger on the
bike with him while many of us may have opinions on how safe the rider was considering he's riding
pretty fast and even lane splitting from time to time everything seems to be going okay but as the
rider is coming to a slight curve in the road he hits a patch of water and hydroplanes this
causes the rider to lay his motorcycle down and this is where things almost take a turn for the
worst because of how water logged the road is the rider and his passenger slide over 100 feet
when you look at the video closely it seems as if they are actually hydroplaning themselves
sliding across the surface of the water what is amazing is that as they are sliding the rider
has the instinct to grab his passenger and pull them close once they come to a stop they collect
themselves seemingly unhurt luckily for them the dangers of the wet road ended up saving them
we have covered many topics about naval ships and maritime incidents it is such an amazing
subject to explore this is especially true for naval vessels not only are we able to see things
like ship launches and incredible maneuvers we are sometimes lucky enough to see some of their
weapons testing in this video we have the uss jackson undergoing full ship shock trials on july
16 2016 just off the coast of florida the ship was being tested to determine how it would react to
shock waves generated from underwater explosions here we see the jackson sailing along when a 10
000 pound explosive charge was detonated only a few dozen yards off of its port side a sudden
pop of sound along with an underwater flash of light were immediately followed by the
surface water being shaken and then seconds later the surface erupted in a huge explosion
the uss jackson performed exceptionally well only sustaining a minor amount of damage it
was able to return to port under its own power this was the third and final full
ship shock trial that the jackson underwent after the united states navy collects the
data from tests such as these they are able to determine not only how best to build future ships
but how to navigate in dangerous waters where mines may lurk just below the surface
nature is full of terrifying things hunters especially know this as they routinely come face
to face with everything that nature has to offer from weather to dangerous terrain sometimes though
they have to face off with dangerous animals like bears this was the case in this video
richard wesley from hearst ontario was bow hunting in fire river as he was walking he
came across a large black bear about 100 feet away at first he seems to go unnoticed and the
bear simply continues along with its business but the bear started walking a little closer to wesley
at first wesley tried to stay put hoping he would not be noticed however the bear did
notice him once he knew he was in danger wesley stood up and attempted to back away while making
loud noises the bear suddenly charged knocking the camera out of his head luckily he was able
to redirect to the bear's mouth with his bow after about 15 seconds of wrestling
off camera he was able to fight free and escape with only a few bruises

black bears are the most common breed of bear in the world with an estimated population of
about 600 000 in north america alone generally they are more prone to run away from humans
sometimes though they realize that they can crush us with incredible ease
as we have covered many times on this channel earthquakes are one of the scariest natural
disasters that earth can throw at us where the millions of people who live near seismic
hot spots there is no telling when or where an earthquake will happen to make it scarier
there's nowhere to escape on july 5th 2019 a twitch streamer and musician known as
shinova was streaming live music on her channel she lives in southern california an area where
earthquakes are not an uncommon occurrence as she streamed the camera began to shake a bit
it took a few seconds for her to realize what was happening but eventually she stopped
playing and took notice of the shaking a few seconds later the shaking grew more intense
leaving her camera on she left the room her viewers continued to watch as things
in the room continued to sway side to side oh my lord that's an earthquake
that's a big earthquake i just said on my channel
the earthquake was measured at a 7.1 her video was quickly clipped and circulated on social
media where it got nearly a million views in 24 hours she nova was lucky enough to escape
with no injuries and no damage however the area affected by the earthquake suffered an
estimated 1 billion dollars in damages with one death there is no telling when something amazing
or shocking may happen since the invention of portable video recording devices we have been
able to document some of the most important and amazing things ever now we have smartphones gopros
dash cams and closed-circuit security cameras that capture all sorts of events
even in recent days video documentation of events has helped shape our society
so be sure to always have your phone handy you never know what crazy things you'll be able to
capture on camera to see another video like this be sure to click the link on screen now
trust me you won't want to miss it otherwise thank you for watching and we'll see you in the next
