This Week's Video Picks

A Deadliest Catch boat heading into a wave (DCL)

Our Top 5 Videos of the Week - Friday 28 August

This week's picks include a devastating loss for Deadliest Catch, a lego Mythbusters mishap and an amazingly talented pet.

1. Deadliest Catch: Catch Confidential - The First Mayday
It's the words every sailor hopes never to hear: "Mayday, mayday, mayday." Find out what happened to the Katmai to result in the sinking of the boat - and the loss of seven lives - on 22 October, 2008. In this exclusive web episode, three of the survivors relive the tragic circumstances and try to come to terms with the harrowing experience.

2. Mythbusters - Lego Ball
Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara employ an army of volunteers to build a giant ball out of Lego in order to test whether it can roll down a hill and crush a car, as seen in an infamous YouTube video. But in order to make the ball have any affect on the car at all, they need to find a steep enough slope... and ensure the ball will actually roll anywhere at all.

3. Weird, True & Freaky - A Shocking Stunt Dog
This Jack Russell Terrier can balance better than most humans - to the point where he's become a talented skateboarding dog who sticks to the board as if he's glued on, and even enjoys wakeboarding in his spare time! Find out more about Extreme Pete, and see him in action.

4. Sharkbite Summer - Brave Surfers
When surfers compete in shark breeding grounds, there's no telling what will happen. In this clip, people have gathered at a beach in Florida which, unfortunately, is also the location of a "nursery" for sharks. Despite warnings and bites, people are still out in the dangerous water.

5. American Chopper - Call For Help
Paul Jr. realises he's in over his head as OCC has never before designed a bike for drag racing, and that's the task the American Chopper boys are faced with now. Before things get too out of hand, Paul calls on a friend to set him straight.
