9:30 am
everybody. i'm beth troutman. it's friday and it's countdown time. in the next half hour we have our top ten videos of the day, "right this minute." >> yeah! >> a bar fight spills over into the street, becoming a brutal clash with cops. >> what do you think, police brutality or doing what they're supposed to do. >> watch the video and decide for yourself. >> meet the boy who makes a narrow escape after being hit by
9:31 am
a school bus. >> it's only because of where he was when the bus rolled over him that he did survive. >> we're going to the food olympics. >> doughnut 5k, eat a doughnut, run a thousand meters, eat another doughnut, repeat. >> meet the team with intestinal fortitude. >> it's all about pride. >> you know how sometimes you feel like you're going in circles and cannot stop. >> a kid who won't get dizzy is spinning toward number one. but he's got to compete with the dog who just won't get bored. with a rock. it's all coming up on the rtm top ten countdown. we begin our countdown today with our number ten video and nick has it for us. >> if you're going to go out and get into a bar fight, better be prepared for the consequences. the video is being shot by zac plat. this man here was involved in a bar fight inside a bar in harrisbu harrisburg. commonly known as restaurant row or sort of bourbon street of
9:32 am
harrisburg. according to the crowd you hear, the guy on the ground was tased in the rear. the guy in the white shirt trying to help his buddy out. cops give him ahove back. trying to kphe situatio rowdy people. >> whoa. >> cop gets back in his face. it looks like it's all fun and games for some of these guys. before you know it, they get into trouble too. you see a guy gets detained there and now zach. >> i didn't do anything. >> no, no, no. >> as far as i know and as far as the police tell us, zach was not arrested. but what do you think? police brutality or just doing what they're supposed to do. >> we, obviously, saw one of the cops at the beginning of the video be very aggressive towards that guy in the white shirt. >> when the cops are making an arrest like that, you're not necessarily supposed to crowd around and poke fun at the guy who's being arrested. >> shot him in his -- >> the cops are performing an arrest and there is other commotion going on and it gets
9:33 am
really close to the cops, i think their instinct is to protect themselves. >> i would only take issue with the cops targeting people who are using their video cameras to record this incident. the guy that we saw on the ground at the beginning of the video, was charged with disorderly conduct and the city and police departments are both conducting an investigation to see if there was wrongdoing. >> yeah! our number nine on the rtm countdown, some of the most incredible pictures of the week. >> i want you guys to see these very dramatic images of an explosion that happened in guatemala. this is south of the capital in guatemala in an area called [ inaudible ]. >> a lot of black smoke. >> that is a huge plume of smoke caused by a collision between a tanker carrying 7,000 gallons of gasoline and a trailer truck
9:34 am
carrying textiles. the driver of the tanker lost control of his truck because of the mechanical failure and he ran into the trailer truck that was parked on the side of the road. five people in both of these cars did die. this happened on wednesday, but yesterday, the families of the five people that died in this accident, did identify them and they all range in ages between 20 and 33 years old. one police officer who was in the area was also injured by the explosion. >> oh, wow. >> you hear one explosion there and less than a minute later. yet another explosion. >> look at that. like a giant mol la tov cook tile between the textiles and the gas. >> it was a perfect combination to cause such a massive fire. you see the fire spreading to this warehouse that is just off the side of the road. i did find a second video. once the fire had been put out
9:35 am
that was captured by one of guatemala's leading newspapers. >> there's barely anything left. >> there's nothing left. everything was completely charred. >> and no one was able to escape. >> no. >> it happened so quickly. >> reports said that it was instant and all the five people involved died immediately. we're headed to the number one video on our rtm countdown. at number eight, every parents' nightmare. i have a story about a first grader in oklahoma. this little boy is 6-year-old ian knight. ian got off the bus on tuesday like he would any other day on his way home from school. >> i was walking in front of it and it started going. >> ian tried to outrun the bus but the bus knocked ian on the ground, face first. the driver never even knew that
9:36 am
ian was hit. you can see in these images that there's blood on the gravel from ian's head. ian had to get staples. >> oh, wow. look at the staples. >> makes me sad because you can tell from the video he's still shaken up about this. still visibly upset this happened to him. >> this bus outweighed ian by 29,750 pounds. so it's pretty remarkable ian survived this ordeal and only because of where he was when the bus rolled over him that he did survive it. if he moved over a few inches the bus would have run over ian. but instead the bus only ran over his book bag. the superintendent says that the bus driver did nothing wrong. >> the driver was not on the phone, he was not texting. he was doing his duties. and just unfortunately just didn't see the child. >> i could see how the bus driver can miss them. those buss are so high. if a kid is pretty tiny an walking in front of the bus you
9:37 am
could miss a child that way. i'm just thankful and happy he's okay. >> the bus driver is on admin stray ittive leave, as they investigate this situation. ian is expected to head back to school soon. we've seen volcanos but nothing like this at number seven. >> any given year there are roughly 50 volcanos that are active on the planet. and one of them erupted on sunday. you're looking at the niyamura volcano in the democratic republic of thecongo. here's the thing this area is the home of the mountain gorilla which are endangered species, but officials there say the mountain gorillas and the 20,000 hippopotamuses that live there, are not in any danger. >> this is on my bucket list. i want to see an erupting volcano in my lifetime. >> every time i see images like this of a volcano erupting it
9:38 am
reminds me how remarkable our planet is and alive it is. >> it's weird. like doesn't even look real. >> the volcano is the most active volcano on the african continent. it's in the verunga national park. in 2011, the lava flow from the volcano flowed 21 miles. in 2002, the lava flow covered 15 million cubic yards. displaced 350,000 people. and destroyed 14,000 homes. >> you're saying this time it's like a baby eruption, not so bad. >> a baby eruption. medics carrying a heart for transplant are in such a rush. >> that they -- >> no! >> oh, yeah. >> see the fumble that's a heart stopper. and a serial jumper who keeps going and going. >> what is going on?
9:39 am
>> can you imagine what this guy' oh, i see. a throne for the tv... room for movies... your workout gear... non-stop football... it's a man cave! the boys next door will never leave.

9:45 am
by air. the medics are in such a rush to get the heart out of the helicopter and too the hospital. >> no. >> that they -- >> no! >> oh, yeah. >> are you kidding me? they just dump it? >> no! >> the heart was on it ways to a 20-year-old woman, it came from a 24-year-old car accident male a few days earlier. >> is it still usable? looked like it was wrapped in something so at least it didn't get pebbles and dirt on it. >> in the end was a successful heart transplant. >> geez. >> the heart was inside a sealed waterproof container wrapped in plastic. what we saw spill out was the container, a bag of saline and ice. >> did they really need two guys operating the cooler? like two guys was going to get that cooler there a lot faster than if just one guy did it. >> conversation in my mind went something like this. hey, the media is here. i want to carry the cooler, no,
9:46 am
i want to carry the cooler. >> yeah. >> it's strange we're talking about a heart transplant here and they're carrying it around in a beer cooler. always have them in beer coolers. >> looks like something you would go tailgating with. >> okay. i'm supposed to remind you to go there. a pilot on dawn patrol captures dazzling sunrise. and when your car's stuck, you get your buddies to help, right? >> but things didn't go exactly as these guys planned. >> see why it all goes downhill from there as we move toward the top videos of the rtm countdown.
