scared little boy down below. >> but we do have new details on this story. >> hear what the boy's mom told us from his hospital bedside about her son's recovery from the traumatic or deal. we've got another water rescue, but this time -- >> we get to go along for the ride. >> what happened when some divers cornered a shark in trouble. he had predicted lightning storms -- >> and then you see lightning strike the station. >> how the weather guy took a hit and kept right on going. >> you might be able to hear me right now. >> he doesn't miss a beat. i love it! and then -- >> what is this man doing? and why am i showing you this? >> what is this man doing? and why are you showing this? >> the answer will definitely surprise you. we'll get our countdown started today with our number ten video.

christian has it. >> new information today on the story that people around the world are talking about. a little boy in colombia trapped inside a sewer. >> that is a 3-year-old boy that fell into the sewer near his home because there's construction work going on. he fell inside and was dragged in the sewer water for about 300 meters. he was missin for 20 way! >> we do have new details on this story. i spoke to the boy's mom, and she told me that she was terrified when she couldn't find her son. she also told me that the doctor said he was severely dehydrated and he had ingested some of the dirty sewer water. when i was talking to her, i could hear the little boy crying in the background and she told me that he would fall asleep but when he would wake up, he immediately just started crying and calling for mom and dad. >> this kid is going to have nightmares for a long time.

>> his mom did see him playing near this area, so rescue services thought he was very likely in the sewer. miraculously, that is where they found him. >> what kind of condition was he in when they found him? because he looks like he's not moving a lot there. >> the look on his face is so heart breaking. he looks exhausted and panicked and terrified all at once. >> i did speak to a rescue worker who was there, and she did say that when he saw that there were people there, he finally started opening his eyes. when they pulled him up, he really wasn't moving much and wasn't saying much. they believe that it was because he was in a state of shock. they pulled him out of the hole and then you see this woman, who is another rescue worker, drag him to the fire truck that's nearby. they rushed him to a hospital. some people are saying that this is a miracle that this little boy made it. we're headed down to number one here on the rtm top ten countdown. right this minute we're at number nine and cue the

lightning. sometimes you've just got to go with it. this is meteorologist todd gutner. he is doing his nightly broadcast at wbz-tv in boston, massachusetts. as you can tell by the mat behind him there's severe weather over the boston area. >> it's about to pound this area with gusty winds, torrential rain, a lot of lightning, unfortunately. >> but viewers are about to find out just how severe. >> what? >> you just heard todd say that there would be severe lightning accompanying this storm. and then you see lightning strike the station while he's live on the air talking about this storm. >> oh, my gosh. >> the sound is gone, everything is gone. eventually the sound comes back. >> you might be able to hear me right now, i'm not sure of that. but we don't have any lights in here, power has been knocked out. looks like we're starting to come back up a little bit. it's going to be a slow process to get these lights back up and running. >> he doesn't miss a beat, i

love. >> it this guy, if he is tired of working at wbz could pretty much write his own ticket anywhere. >> and he was right. >> people always give weather guys crap about being wrong. he was right. he said there's going to be some lightning strikes. seconds later, boom, lightning stskke. >> they could use this as a promo for the station. our forecasters are dead on. >> we are accurate to the lightning bolt. >> good job, bravo. >> way to go, todd gutner. >> that is a media professional right there. >> just keep listening, i'm going to keep doing this. next up on the countdown of the day's best videos, number eight and a slice of a real-life dilemma. it's safe to say from this video that public transportation and foreigners with limited english skills don't always work together. this is in washington, d.c.'s, metro center subway station. look where that woman is standing. >> is she on the track bed? >> she is in the middle of the

subway track line. she's in the middle. according to people who were down there, they say that this woman doesn't speak english that well, has only been in the con electr tree a few days and wanted to get to the other side of the station. she climbed down and once she got to the middle she stopped. >> i don't think they let you do that in any country. you're never allowed to cross the tracks. >> how hard can it be to figure out you don't cross the tracks or find a stairway. >> they had to cut off the power and wait until the police came to guide her out. as you can see in this entire 6 1/2 minute video, no trains come back. >> this has nothing to do with language barrier and everything to do with just pure straight up stupidity. >> that first step is a doozy. >> we're counting down to our very favorite video of the week and it really is a great story. but first, at number seven, to

russia. >> lights and sirens don't make you invincible to car accidents. this is an ambulance in russia. it has a person in the back that is a victim of a stab wound. the ambulance is coming up to a red light, goes through the red light, misses that car, but then gets t-boned. >> oh, man. >> rolls the ambulance over. >> you can see the sparks just flying. >> yeah. it was a taxi that t-boned the ambulance. the cab driver and his passenger escaped with minor injuries, but reportedly the person inside the ambulance with the stab wound also survived. the driver of the ambulance and another medic sustained pretty serious injuries. >> you've got your lights on but you don't know what people are doing in other cars. that cab could have been blaring music, they didn't hear the sirens. you've got to give people a chance to see you as you approach an intersection. you can't just blast through. >> and that's what the ambulance

did. you can see the light is red and blasted right through. >> this poor guy in the back of the ambulance, what a bad day he's having. he got stabbed, the ambulance gets him and he endsup in a car accident. that's a terrible day. he's 4 years old with a style that's inspiring us. >> wii dance boxing. it's a monster truck combo sports car you've got to see. >> why would you do

welcome back to the rtm top ten countdown, everybody. we're at number six and this one is all about max. little 4-year-old max has found his passion. >> it looks like the wii. >> he is playing the wii and he loves playing boxing on the wii. but does his technique remind you of anything? >> it doesn't look much like

boxing, more like aerobics or zumba. >> or the lambata. ♪ >> or possibly jennifer beal's character from "flashdance"? >> yeah! that's exactly what it looks like. >> they actually set that to the song ♪ >> i think we should call this little boy maniac max. >> awesome maniac max. >> does he know you don't have to use your feet for the wii and the boxing? >> i don't think he's figured it out yet. >> full body experience. >> he's working his way up to kick boxing. right now it's dance boxing, the early stages of it. >> dance boxing. that's a new game, wii dance boxing. >> we could make millions off of that. >> maniac max. it's top five time here on the countdown and this one is

for all of you "back to the future" fans. number five. >> doc brown is back in the shop modifying the old delorean. >> great scott! >> this delorean has been jacked up on big ole 44-inch tires. >> why would you do that? >> why not? >> will this one be able to warp to the clock to your, though, and the gigawatts? i don't know if it will get up to 88 miles an hour but maybe if you get in 88 inches of mud you'll be fine. >> this is so weird. it's weird to see a delorean with this tire inch. >> they were only made between '81 and '82. what made them cool were the doors. wing doors. >> wing doors. >> that's what made it cool. >> trying to get in, you open the door and it knocks you out

as it goes up. you open the door and it conks you in the face. >> you can't reach the door handle unless you're on a ladder. >> it's not as high as you think. >> if it's that low to the ground, if you did it without the tires, you'd have to get down on your knees. >> pretty sure you're not going to get hit in the head if you open the door, okay? thank you. cut. we have a great number one video just ahead, but right now at number four, some very special guys. >> it's an underwater shark rescue and we get to go along for the ride. maybe i should say for the swim. justin fuller and two of his college buddies were doing some snorkeling near singer island in florida and came across that. see that? that's a nurse shark that is tangled up in some fishing line. to me it also looks like the shark is wedged down there under those rocks. common race for a nurse shark

because according to "national geographic" they do tend to hang out on the sea floor. >> these kids seem to know their sharks because they don't seem afraid to help out. >> it is important to point out nurse sharks are relatively harmless to humans. you can see he is caught up. they are able to free the shark from underneath that rock, but the shark then takes off with the gear still attached to him. so these guys were like, well, we can't let that happen so they chase after the nurse shark. >> what? >> you've got to point out the school girl-like screaming. continue. >> they're probably super excited about what experience they're having. >> they did eventually cut the line and set the shark free. he's out there doing his nurse shark life.

>> it's the would you hit an animal on the road test? >> i love that lady, she's my favorite. >> see who hits them and what they drive next. what is this man doing? >> that's the question. wait till you see the answer on the countdown. and don't forget, "right this wççñçñ

we're back to the rtm top ten countdown. three to go to our best video of the day. right now, number three. when you're driving down the road and you see an animal, do you swerve to hit it or do you swerve to miss it? >> you try to miss them. >> that's what i would have thought, but mark rover, the engineer who did the mario brothers floating balloon, he went out to very unscientifically prove that not everyone is as kind as we are. >> i've got a rubber turtle and a rubber snake. i also got a rubber tarantula. i put each on the shoulder of the road. >> look at what driver do so. >> according to about 1,000 cars, 95% of drivers drove by but the remaining ones are cold-blooded animal killers. >> they had to go out of their way on the shoulder. did you notice that all the people who hit the animals are driving trucks, suvs or giant vans? >> that is part of his observation. >> killer's vehicle choice,

truck or suv, 89%. >> this could be an area that requires a truck. >> the worst culprit, though, is that suv went all the way around to hit a turtle. >> who's afraid of a nice turtle? >> he did show some people who stopped to help some of the animals, it's funny to see them contemplate whether that's real or not. >> i love that lady, she's my favorite. most people would freak out. >> and she was in a truck. >> 4%, however, are pony-tailed science haters. >> that's a snake! >> where are you at? >> i'm right here. >> this is the part where he explains why that white suv earlier in the video went over that turtle. >> just as i suspected. a few ole tricks again, hey, shredder? >> it's shredder! >> a little bit of science, a lot of fun, good humor.

he should be in the classroom. it's runner-up time on the countdown. we're at our number two video of the day and ready, set, zip. >> what is this man doing? and why am i showing you this? >> what is this man doing? and why are you showing us thisó >> in fact he's trying to beat the world record for zipping your zipper on your fly. >> i'm glad that's what he's doing. >> yeah. his name is andre -- his name is andre hoden. he's a dj on the married men which is on singapore radio. in 30 seconds, he unzipped his zipper 204 times. >> did he beat a record or create a new one? >> good question, nick.

he beat a record. if you go to recordsetter.com, which is a website which lets you create your own world record, you can see there were previous people who had held this record. there are some rules to breaking this record, beth, if you're thinking about maybe trying this. >> no. >> is it hard? to do that that many times? >> look at how fast his hand is moving. it looks like this video is sped up. it looks like this guy has been practicing fojr this kind of thing his entire life. >> what if you get something caught in that fly? >> ben stiller moment. >> ow! romance, adventure, even a celebrity. >> no way! >> number one is more than a great video.
