hi, everybody, i'm beth troutman, welcome to "right this minute" where we're all about videos first. a show of the force in seattle, turns into a show of force. >> you see officer powell come with what looks like a right forearm. >> find out what may have sent one officer over the edge. oh, my god! what the [ bleep ] the house is on fire. >> as you heard, her house is on fire. why you can blame this viral video on some -- smoking

materials. >> it sounds like she went up in smoke before the house went up in smoke. >> hello. >> if your facebook feed is overrun with -- >> pictures of people, babies, nonstop babies, babies -- >> find out about a way to unbaby your page. >> why are you going to replace a baby with a puppy. that's just a baby dog. and is 91 too old to drive? meet the grandma who is -- >> proving the theory wrong. >> no, no, no! this next video we're seeing seattle police investigating a report of a drive-by pelt gun shooting. you see officers on the scene a number of officers talking to a large group of what looks like young males. and as you can see there's somewhat of an argument going on here. this officer here is a 19-year veteran of the force. officer clayton powell.

and he is face to face with one of these individuals. watch this. it looks like the person with the backwards hat may have spit in officer powell's face and then you see officer powell come with what looks like a right cross there or a right forearm. officer powell's fellow officers at the scene being reported that they quickly told their supervisors of officer powell's action. and now officer powell has been relieved of duty and is now on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. they were both seem to be at fault. this is excessive force. i don't think this is excessive force. >> if the allegation is true of spitting, the officer should have stepped in so the other officer could take a breather. >> this happened days after the city of seattle and the u.s. department of justice announced a plan to reform the seattle police department. after a number of reports of officers routinely using excessive force.

seattle officials have agreed to have an independent monitor oversee the actions of the police department. i don't want officers to be afraid to get physical because they have fear of losing their job. i want them to use force if they need to, to protect themselves. and i don't want them to wait too long and themselves get hurt. a house fire broke out in apple valley, minnesota. it was all caught on video. and that video is going viral. >> oh, my god! hell no! what the [ bleep ]? oh my god! >> oh hell [ bleep ] no. >> holy [ bleep ]! natalie, bro. what the [ bleep ]? the house is on fire! >> hurry, hurry. get out. >> me get out? >> i got to get my cat. >> this is the weirdest reaction

to a fire. >> i have a feeling the cat is already vacated the premises. >> that's what so funny, at the end of the video, you hear someone else who is involved in this, saying you need to get out. she's like, what? i need to get out? wait, i got to get my cat. >> i'm frightened by this woman. is this is her reaction to her house being on fire. how does she react to other situations. she's a little too calm. >> what's with the -- >> to clear things up with the story behind this video, everybody got out okay, nobody was injured, everybody is fine. it was determined by the apple valley fire department, that the fire was started because of improper disposal of smoking materials. >> excuse me, what kind of smoking materials are we talking about, beth? >> you know, we don't know. you can assume, you can make your own judgments. but, you know, there were no -- reports that suggested that it was anything other than just smoking materials. >> it sounds like -- she went up in smoke before the house went

up in smoke. >> hey-oo! >> we can only assume that the girl with her in the house, might be named natalie. >> natalie-bro. >> what the [ bleep ], the house is on fire! talk about a close call. check out this passenger van that slipped off the side of the road and look what comes to its rescue. the people of the passenger van were able to get off the van before it slipped down this snowy ravine. there's a big old backhoe there, able to nudge this van back up onto the road. this was shot by abe and bethany oaky, music teachers who live in india. they're traveling india and china right now. [ cheers and applause ] >> they captured this incredible disaster averted.

>> ooh, ooh! >> that could have been really bad. you see how far down the van could have rolled off the side of the mountain. these are treacherous roads. and people are known to fall off the side of the road. >> did there just happen to be a backhoe laying around and a guy to operate it? it's not like those things can travel very swiftly. it had to be in the area. >> maybe it was going some plais, toplai place, too, maybe they just got lucky. all of those people standing off the side of the road did not go tumbling down the snowy cliff. it's one of the most heinous crimes that could happen. somebody stole the cupcakes. this happened in perth, australia, it's liz's birthday and her daughter sent her cupcakes. you see 3:00 a.m., the car across the house, it's australia

they parked on the other side of the street, there were cakes. >> where are the cupcakes? >> they were on the doorstep, they've been delivered along with flowers, waiting for birthday girl liz to come get them. they come back later, some woman in a white tank top and a blonde mohawk, leaves something, paper she drops behind, jumps back into the car. >> who does this? who steals birthday cupcakes? >> if somebody stole my red velvet cupcakes, i would call the swat team. >> and blame the delivery person here. you don't leave a perishable good object a doorstep without signing for them. because any animal loose on the streets could have eaten these things just the same. >> are they looking for this woman? is she going to be arrested and charged with cupcake thievery. >> i hope the cupcake maker see this story and send her a free batch the cupcakes. >> it's a travesty.

a travesty mockery. we're talking about a one-way ticket to the red planet. >> there's a plan to send humans to mars to live for the rest of their lives. >> i would do it. >> you're not coming back, gayle. >> find out all about it and how you can land a spot in space. and a horse that's really got to get somewhere.

it's time for the best of rd mmpb where we tell you about bonus videos you can find on our website. >> this is a lesson in elevator etiquette. it's from the don't be that guy youtube channel. basically showing you don't be the loud talker on your cell phone. don't be the guy who holds the

door for all your friends down the hall. and also, don't be the guy who has the headphone s blaring musc just to name a few. they go through the entire list of elevator no-no's. >> i'm glad somebody put an elevator etiquette video together. >> to check this out, head over to our website, rightthisminute.com and click on -- >> best of "rtm." the true geek in me is about to emerge. it is busting out of me. i want to introduce you guys to mars 1, a private space venture. mars 1 is a plan to send humans to mars to live for the rest of their lives. they're going to choose four people to be sent in september of 2022 for about a seven-month journey to mars in a life-sustaining little habitat pod, that will take them to the planet. and get this, it's a one-way ticket. these folks can't come back. mars will be their life.

>> i would do it. >> you're not coming back, gayle, do you understand that? >> no taxes, no credit card bills, no family drama, no dogs what's wrong with that plan? >> no dogs. >> they would let me take my dog. >> they're planning to make this event a huge spectacle. mars 1 plans to send up communication satellites, a rover to explore everything. supplies, all of that will go on in the next ten years to talk to us about this project, we have the founder of mars 1, bob vonsdorf. via skype, "right this minute." first of all tell me how you're going to select the four people first on mars? >> we are expecting millions of applications. the first thing we'll do is have experts to decide which people are not fit to go to mars. after that we'll ask the audience to help us to select the people they would like to see on mars. >> how do you determine who is not fit? >> you have to be very healthy.

you have to be mentally very stable and you have to be quite smart. because you're going to have to learn a lot of new skills before you can go to mars. >> how much space will you have -- i feel like they are little prison cells up there. >> so there will be about 200 square meters for the four people to live in. that's about 50 square meters per person. for a space mission, that's actual i had very large. >> are you looking for people of a certain age? >> when you apply to be an astronaut, you will need to be 25 or older. >> you're planning t send more people ery c couple eve two yea four more people. i think that's very important for the psychological aspects of the crew that is going. if they were just four people going and they would be there the rest of their lives. it would be quite boring after some time. >> tell us how much this might cost? >> we estimate it will cost about $6 billion u.s. to put the first four people on mars and about $4 billion for each crew that comes after the first four. the media event we will create

will easily generate revenues that are big enough to cover this cost. check out these firefighters working really hard to recover the cover from the storm drain. >> baby ducks. kittens. what's in there? an engagement ring, car keys? >> great guesses. in there is scooter, a baby husky puppy. >> oh no! >> found himself stuck under there and they couldn't bring him out. but of course, the fire department came over to save the day. here they're struggling a bit to lift those covers. they eventually do, but listen to scooter calling for help. >> it's okay. >> awww, that's heartbreaking. >> he's obviously really scared. he's probably cold and hungry. >> help, i've fallen down the drain. >> and i can't get up. >> fortunately, they got there

just in time and they were able to save this cute little muffin after a firefighter jumped in to grab him. >> good thing he didn't get scared and like run through the pipes, run away from all the noise and commotion. did somebody know that the dog fell down there? that's a hard sound to pick up on a street like that. >> he's actually wearing a leash and a harness, i think what happened is that he somehow managed to get away from his owner, who is there waiting for him. and that's the reunion right there. >> aww. >> the dog is going to be making a wide circle around the storm drains. >> he's like, i'm not going to go near there. forget chasing birds, this dog makes a splash with new friends under the sea. >> this pooch thinks she can have everything, watch kira swim

with a smiley

face camera? >> if it's what you boys want. when you have a clunker, you find out a way to get rid of it i think that may be what this guy was thinking. except his clunker is a pretty expensive my bot. >> so, this car has apparently been parked in the same exact spot for three or four years. >> and it's never moved. this beautiful car this a

super-expensive -- >> several hundred thousand dollar car. yeah. just parked there, collecting dust. people are writing a lot of stuff on it. >> with their finger in the dirt? >> yes. >> most of it is not stuff we can say or show on tv. someone decided to steal the hood ornament. >> somebody is damaging someone else's property. the owner could be sick, in the hospital, he could have passed away. >> it's odd, i feel like seby tto owner of the car. it make sure they're not laying dead in a bathtub somewhere. >> or in the trunk. >> or in the trunk. >> can you imagine if this is some sort of international spy case and that is someone's body in there, like a mafioso. >> what if somebody is kicking and living and says, no, a $300,000 car, i don't need to drive it. >> it should be out on the open

road with me behind the wheel. and you in the back seat there, beth. >> with the feet propped up. they have a little feet prop in the back. >> the rear seats recline. >> it's like a la-z-boy in a car. take a look at this, i think this is what happiness looks like. this is kira, the black lab. she is going for a little outing in the indian ocean off the coast of mozambique. i love how they put the life jacket on the dog. safety first, kira. she's not just any black lab, kira has a special passion. did you see that in the water? what was it sanaa. >> a dolphin fin. any time she sees a dolphin fin, watch what kira does. kira loves to swim with the dolphins. >> that's amazing. >> like dogs will chase a cat around the neighborhood, this is just like another version of that. the dog is chasing the dolphins

through the water. i like that the dolphins are playing along. the one was swimming circumstance thes around the dog. kira's owner run as dolphin center and even has a boat that takes people out on the little excursions named after kira. the great thing about the video, it's a couple months old, just now trending, i think people are watching it, trying to find a way to get through the dog days of summer. >> would you want to swim with kira or the dolphins? >> i want to swim with kira and the dolphins. i can pay to go out on the boat and swim with kira and the dolphins. >> thanks it for the show, thanks for spending time

still no motive in the milwaukee temple shooting but the gunman died by taking his own lives. >> you did not have a good morning after you saw this. >> and parvo disease pops up in puppies. >> look at this. will this nice weather stick around? wyatt everhart has a look at the forecast. >> it's the tale of two marylands, the sunshine and the clouds. from baltimore west, western edge and north of baltimore, sunshine coming. boy, we're socked in with the cloud cover right down to the beaches. humidity is still high. it feels like summer. no question about that. in terms of
