Must-see videos of the week – September 7

From some frantic moments at the Quebec election victory party to a student getting revenge on a mean teacher, we've seen some great videos this week. Here are some of our favourites.

1. Marois whisked off stage

Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois was celebrating her party winning a minority government in Quebec when a Toronto businessman named Richard Henry Bain allegedly tried to enter the Metropolis nightclub where the party was taking place. Police say Bain shot two people including stage technician Denis Blanchette, who died from the wound.

Marois was whisked off stage by her body guards, but returned a short time later to finish her speech. She was unaware at the time someone had been shot to death. Bain was arraigned Thursday and now faces 16 charges including first-degree murder.

2. History of the world in two minutes

If you like to watch video and photo montages that always surface around New Year's to show the events of the past year, you'll really like this. Joe Bush, 19, created a video for his high school class in production to recap the history of the world in two minutes. He started with the Big Bang and went on to show images of the pyramids, the U.S. civil rights movement, World War II, landing on the moon, the beginning of computers, the Sept. 11 attacks and ended with images of climate change and an asteroid hitting Earth.

The music is obviously Mind Heist made famous in Inception. Bush acknowledges on YouTube he doesn't own the rights to any of the photos or music and says he spent a lot of time on the project so he hopes no one sues him.

3. Colorado girl survives bubonic plague

A Colorado girl contracted bubonic plague while camping, after burying a dead squirrel against her parents' instructions. Sierra Jane Downing's parents initially thought she just had the flu, but after a seizure she was rushed to the hospital. Her family is thankful the doctors diagnosed it early and the girl is now recovering. The plague wiped out close to 40 per cent of Europeans in the Middle Ages, killing about 25 million people. There are on average seven cases reported in the U.S. each year and few people die from it.

The doctor who treated her said if she stayed at home another 24 or 48 hours, she could have easily died. Bubonic plague is transmitted through contact with infected animals such as rats, squirrels and pets. In June, an Oregon man also contracted it after being bitten by a stray cat.

4. N.S. turtles get help from zoo

At the beginning of the summer more than 100 endangered Blanding's turtle eggs were moved from a national park in the southern part of Nova Scotia and taken to the Oaklawn Farm Zoo in Aylesford. According to a CBC article, only about one per cent of the turtles that hatch survive in the wild so the zoo is trying to boost their chances with an incubation program. The babies are getting bigger now. The ones that haven't been released yet will be attached to transmitters and returned to the national park this weekend.

5. Student gets revenge on mean teacher

Everyone enjoys a good underdog story, especially if someone gets whacked in the nuts on camera. So here is all of that in less than a minute. For some reason an aggressive Russian teacher is berating a little girl during an English lesson in front of the entire class, but the girl, who has her head down in disappointment most of the time, can only take it for so long. She strikes back hitting the man where it hurts. The teacher was suspended and the girl was transferred to another school.
