hello, everybody, i'm beth troutman. it's friday and that means it's time for the rtm countdown, "right this minute." a risky rescue on lake michigan after a sailor ignores weather warnings. but there's a twist. turns out this sailor has been in rough waters before. >> find another hobby, i think. maybe, like bowling. >> a drag racer survives this. >> not only did he get out of it and walk away, but he's like mad. >> hear what had him so peeved and what it was like inside the
4:31 pm
fire ball. >> if someone gave you a small hand grenade and said good luck, that's kind of what i was dealing with right there. >> a stubborn house fire has crews frustrated. and just when they think they have the upper hand -- and a bathing beauty's crazy stunt. >> nick's best day at work. >> see the wipeout. >> and her bottoms are down. we begin today's rtm top ten countdown with our number ten video. look at this. we got this from wls in chicago. this is footage from lake michigan. a guy named peter kovatz and his friend went sailing on wednesday afternoon, even though there was a small boat advisory in effect. there were some high winds. their sailboat, as you can see from this video flipped. the chicago police marine unit responded to this vote, and when they arrived on-scene, the guys
4:32 pm
who were so cold because the water was so frigid, they couldn't move their hands, so they had to deploy a diver into the water to assist these two men so they could get them in on the boat. both men were taken to the hospital. one of the men was treated for hypothermia. but they are both expected to be fine. >> did they get in trouble for doing that, since there was a small boat advisory and they had to be rescued because i know there are dumb driver laws when you drive into a flood area. >> excellent question. this matter is under investigation. but officials say they believe that alcohol was involved in this situation. but there's a twist to this story. peter kovatz, the man who invited his friend out sailing was on this same lake, lake michigan, last may. and his boat flipped. >> oh. you know what -- peter needs to find another hobby, i think. maybe, like, bowling. >> i think his wife is thinking the same thing. his wife was the one who rescued him back in may, and she spoke to wls about it. >> thought last year was a
4:33 pm
fluke, and just didn't -- stronger than he was. hopefully we're putting this behind us. >> i think his wife mary is hoping peter stops sailing. next up on the rtm top ten countdown, from water to fire at number nine. >> you guys have to see this video of a house fire from benton harbor, michigan. this was shot by mark pairin, and just look at these flames. the top story looks like it's melting. >> looks like it's just erupting smoke and fire. >> fortunately, this home was abandoned. nobody was inside. but as the firefighters continue to hit this thing with the hose, it looks like, okay, they're starting to get it under control, seeing a lot of smoke, that's a good thing, the fire is going out. you can see, they hit the top floor and then they're hitting the ground floor. watch what happens next. >> oh!
4:34 pm
wow. it just crumbled. >> yeah. nothing left to hold the thing together. just a couple walls. the whole interior burned out. >> it basically just collapsed, disintegrates and now looks like one big bonfire. >> i'm glad none of the firefighters went inside the house, like they do sometimes. i'm sure they probably realize there was no need for it. >> right. >> but i'm glad they weren't close enough to get hurt by this. >> it's like what happens in your fireplace, you know, the fire is going for a long time and it just starts to settle. and then all the logs just crush in on each other. >> same thing. >> in just a matter of seconds, this house is just left in rubble. all right. it's time for a little security camera action at number eight. who does this? >> i don't have a green thumb, guys, but steal my neighbor's, i

would not. which is exactly what this guy did in savannah, georgia. he walked right through his white pickett fence, up his steps on to his porch, looked around, and decided he wanted those urns. >> come on. >> he takes them and very casually walks away. >> what disturbed me, he felt comfortable. you know, he was not running. he is just, you know, coming straight in as if living here and taking my stuff. >> but then look at how he hangs them on his shoulder like they were a coat. >> what? i'm going to go to home depot, buy some for myself, i'm just going to take these. >>t's not abo ththe plants of people trespassing on your property. >> why would you do this in savannah, georgia? you can go in the woods and dig up a fern, for free. >> authorities are still looking for this guy. they don't know who he is. but they're hoping that people that see this surveillance video
4:36 pm
will recognize him and call the cops. >> or maybe people could just drive around the neighborhood and see who has these ferns hanging up in front of their house. he's dumb enough to steal these, probably dumb enough to hang them in front of his house. >> last year the same surveillance camera also caught a thief who took his s suv from the street in front of his ho e house. >> after what happened with the car caught on tape, i thought, really? another one? >> i'm getting some of these cameras. oh, leave it up to the guitar guy. that's the lesson at number seven. >> anthony sharp had an amazing experience in bornio, and it involved an orangutan. >> oh! >> anthony is at camp leaky in bornio, and they were hanging out with some locals playing the guitar, and they said, one of the alpha females just wandered
