4:30 pm
>> hi, i'm beth troutman. it's friday and time for the rtm top ten countdown "right this minute." a water-skier is blindsided by a powerful hit. >> what was that? >> right, what was it? >> you'll find out. a firefighter on a rooftop suddenly slips into the fiery pit. see the mad scramble by other firefighters to save one of their own. are you plagued by nose h hair? a new video shows how a stick up
4:31 pm
the nostril could solve your problem. >> when they're in their 40s and 50s, their nose will hang down. and a woman has trouble on a water park surf ride. >> i think this thing is broken. >> the rookie mistake she will never live down. >> oh! >> she didn't! oh, no! >> yes, yes. we begin our countdown show today with our number ten video and nick has it for us. >> we're on the cusp of summer, time to break out the water-skis. this guy is out on the water, cutting back-and-forth. but not everybody has got -- >> what was that? >> right, what was it? here it is in slow motion. what? >> oh! i didn't think they'd go after someone skiing. >> was he skiing on swan lake? >> out of nowhere, this swan
4:32 pm
comes right in front. gayle, you're probably right, swans are very territorial. who knows if he was just trying to get out of the way or trying to scare the skier away. >> it almost looked like the swan almost decapitated himself on the ski, right? the neck went right into the blade of the ski. >> i have no information on the condition of the swan. >> swans are so graceful. this is anything but graceful. we're counting our way down to the number one video of the day on today's rtm top ten. at number nine, caught on tape a very big reason why fire fighting is such a tough job. firefighters in portland were battling a two-alarm fire when suddenly one of them fell right through the roof. >> he was up there trying to see any hot spots on the roof. there was a weak spot and he did fall about three or four feet into the rafters. >> as you can see, after he fell, two firefighters did crawl
4:33 pm
over to the hole where he fell through and were able to give the okay signal, letting everybody know that he was okay. he climbed out and fortunately suffered no injuries. >> luckily there weren't flames coming where his body went in. >> and he didn't fall all the way through, because tl they're in a very, very tall building. >> that must have been firing for him and the guys around him that saw him fall through. dmoent how far he's fallen. >> the fire was so hot it melted the side of the building six feet away. >> i have to say firefighters are amazing, amazing people. they're going into the fire when everybody else is running out and they're doing it with almost 100 pounds worth of equipment. at number eight, it's one of those seeing is believing kind of videos. take a look. >> a guy says he was walking across the street to go to a grocery store, and this truck ran him down. another man got in front of the man that was hit and he said the driver just kept going after he
4:34 pm
thought he was going to let him go. >> but it looks like the truck is high p enough off the ground it just kind of went over the guy. and the truck driver had no chance in seeing these guys. they approach him from his blind side off to his right and they're below his eye line of the windshield. >> where are you trying to go that that's important you get so close to a giant truck? >> i think those guys thought that that truck stopped for them, but i think it might have just been stopped for traffic. they assumed he saw them. one guy got hit and one didn't because their heads are below the bottom of the windshield. he dragged that guy about 65 feet, and he only had minor injuries. >> incredibly lucky. that could have been much worse. he just happened to be right in the middle of the tires. the tire could have gone over him and crushed him. >> i can't believe he was dragged. i would figure the truck would just keep going over him and he would hunker down and hope that the wheels miss him. but this thing dragged him. we're on our way to number one. but first, when cows attack, our number seven video.
4:35 pm
next time you're strolling through a cow pasture, beware. they're kacharging him! the people who shot this video say that they stroll through this area quite frequently. they'd never seen the cows react this way. in fact, these cows were preventing them from getting to the gate so that they could exit the cow pasture. >> well, they got sick of it. if these people stroll through their grass all the time, they're, like, get off my lawn! >> this is their hood. maybe these people just went to mcdonald's or burger king right before this and they smell the cooked beef. they're, like, you smell like my aunt bessie, get the heck out of here! >> it's not just one cow. we're talking about several cows, even the little calf gets into the game. pause and rewind. all this riding, though, didn't stop them from getting jiggy.
4:36 pm
look! see that? >> watch toward the end of the video. you see one of the cows on the tail of the dog. the dog is still inside the fence and look at the cows coming toward him. this is so your soul can rest easily. the dog was not harmed and the people did eventually make it out of the pasture. >> yeah. wondering how the cows uploaded the video to youtube. >> it's mootube. >> oh, we asked for that. a young bear walking the railing 35 feet o the groun gog? and he's not exactly getting down right away. see what happens next on the countdown. >> and these wing suit fliers are taking the next crazy jump. >> it looks like an air show that fighter pilots use sometime

welcome back to today's rtm top ten countdown. we're at our number six. look what somebody saw on their deck in big canoe, georgia. >> that's a bear, all right. >> that is a small bear, but look at him. there's a bear up there, and he's not exactly getting down right away. >> oh, don't fall! don't fall! >> he's an athletic little guy, climbing all over the place. >> he's got a nice grip on the post there. >> listen to the people. >> no! no! >> now, the people staying there called security officials because the bear was still dangling. he would not climb all the way down. the deck is 35 feet up so what the security guy did was coax him onto a pole and he climbed all the way down. but the people staying there said, he came back seven hours
4:40 pm
later when with he realized there was no food, it was easy for him to shimmy down like a fireman without any coaxing. >> did he leave behind any prizes? >> i'm assuming that's from a bear and not a big dog. >> that answers the question, did the bear poop in the woods? no. on the deck. vacuuming a cat. ♪ it's top five time on the countdown. got three with words for you -- slippery when -- well, you know. >> getting hot outside, guys. time to hit the pool.

4:42 pm
you see the board, she follows right behind. >> backwards, her feet and then her head. >> like they were sucked into owe blif on. we're head hadded to number one on the countdown, but first we're stopping at number four. let's go flying. >> wing suit fliers continually look for the next great stunt. this i think is it. they're not content just flying in formation with each other in wing suits anymore. here you see them flying over the skies in austria in formation with gliders. >> that's awesome. >> check this out. so the gliders get into formation and just the gliders alone look pretty cool. the one glider is flying upside down above the other glider. and look at the wing suit fliers just kind of fall into like a squadron of flying dudes with, like -- >> it's so cool! because you've got humans mixed
4:43 pm
with machines but they're all dog the same thing. it looks like an air show that fighter pilots do sometimes. >> this video is cool, but it wouldn't be half as cool without the purple and yellow smoke. >> the smoke is a bonus. without it, i would be like, eh. >> the smoke is what impresses you? >> yeah. you see a winged suit flyer off the tip of eacher ng. phenomenal. like synchronized swimming but in the air and a lot more dangerous. >> and smoke. >> one word -- legit. >> definitely. it wouldn't be fun to pull that out of your friend's nose. >> see what the heck is going on in this video. the story, next. and it's what the people want on the countdown.

>> whoa! >> it's vinyl trick shots. these guys are doing all sorts of different things, flipping the roshds. this guy karate kicks the record. i love the karate kick guy after nailing his shot. little breakdance move. good way to ruin records for sure, but also a good way to make a cool video. this is from a third story window, drop it down a couple of rotations, boom, right on the record player. a lot of commenters are saying this is the most hipster trick shot we've seen. >> if he is a it dj, those are probably not records he likes. >> yeah. some old "air supply". >> i miss the days of yore with the vinyl. you can't get that sound. >> also the experience of holding the needle and making sure you're getting it just right. >> one of the records they're using, henry man seeny? didn't he write the "pink
4:48 pm
panther" theme? i guess you do that when you sick of it. >> you're never sick of that! at number three, we're sure you've been wondering all about this. >> you guys have too much hair up your nose? >> i have a microtouch. >> the reason i'm asking is because maybe you should consider waxing. and to show us how to do it, we have michelle money and laura from the michelle money and laura show. >> hey! >> yo! >> if you recognize the brunette in this video, she was a former "bachelor" contestant. they try to convince you that you should wax your nose hair. >> we have to talk about something that's important. nose hair, waxing them. >> but, guys, if we remember what we were taught in anatomy class, what did we learn about the importance of nose hair? >> it keeps dust and dirt and pollen out. >> it's a filter. you can trim it, but you shouldn't get rid of it.
4:49 pm
>> i just shove a stick of wax up my nose. >> we've already told you the disclaimer. >> when they're in their 40s and 50s, their noses are going to hang down like an elephant trunk. >> having a nose hair flipping out is not sexy! >> forget that. they're susceptible to ingrown hairs and getting an infection, sinusitis and respiratory infections because they want to look cute! >> get the microtouch thing on the infomercial every five minutes. it's a gem. >> ow! >> it would be fun to pull that out of your friend's nose, though. if one of you wants to try that, i will be the volunteer yanker. i'm on a date, i don't want to see nose hair. >> i'm afraid to go out with these girls because i feel like i'm going to wake up with a stick in my nose and she's trying to wax my nose hair every time i fall asleep. >> male, female, i don't care, take care of the hair.
4:50 pm
