hello, everyone, i'm beth troutman. it's friday and that means it's time for the rtm top ten countdown, "right this minute." >> a man dangles from a rope as the crowd below yells whatever you do, don't move. hear the reason why and the crazier reason he got stuck up

there. a waterspout is caught on camera. but the best part of this video is the reaction to this waterspo waterspout. >> is it coming this way? well, check that door, can i get in? >> see what happens to some big ole scaredy cats. >> a high-risk rescue after a leopard -- >> is caught on top of a fence. plus an update on the katy perry fan battling cancer who made an internet plea. >> katy perry, if you're seeing this -- >> now he's days away from seeing his wish come true. >> are you nervous? >> very nervous. and talk about dodging a bullet. it's all coming up on today's rtm countdown. we're going to kick off our countdown today with a guy who's just hanging out, but not in a good way. >> i'm about to show you some dramatic footage from china. now, i want to say something very important. this man is not attempting suicide.

but it was suicidal what he did. that man is identified a jiong and they say he climbed up on the roof to see if there was something leaking. he realized, i don't have my keys and so he fashioned a rope, put it around his arm pits and tried to drop down to the sixth floor. >> is he alive in this video? >> he is alive. he's being suspended under his armpits dangling so he had to wait until rescuers come to get him. >> that looks like he's dangling from his neck, not from under his arms. >> as you can see rescuers pulled him to safety. when they got there, they told him don't move because the rope was in danger of breaking. the rope was made of hemp. when they got him in there, this guy passed out. you can see them carry him piggyback style down the stairs to get him on the stretcher. he was taken to the hospital and they say he's going to be okay. i think this is one of those examples of a man who was actually too proud to ask for

help but instead of trying to get help, he instead tries to rappel down the building to get back into his apartment. >> just ask for help. >> you're saying a woman wouldn't have tried this? >> i don't think a woman would fashion a rope and try to rappel down a building to get in a window. >> he had a rope with him? >> who knows why men do what they do. all right, we're counting down to our very favorite video of the day and you're going to love it. but first, it's number nine. >> sometimes you catch really incredible moments on camera, but your mouth forgets that the camera is rolling. >> holy [ bleep ]. >> according to the poster of this video, a construction worker caught this what looks like a waterspout in melbourne, florida. >> it looks like it just jumped up out of the water. >> although the waterspout is

spec sta spectacular, the best part is the reaction. >> this is construction workers, right? >> yeah. according to the poster of the video, construction workers caught this. >> it just picked up branches and [ bleep ]. >> it makes total sgleense. >> and maybe the house isn't ful fully constructed. >> the national weather service issued warnings for waterspouts in the melbourne area. >> we watched the waterspout disappear behind this tree and suddenly it picks up speed again and it continues. >> i'm back. >> here i am, show of hands. up next on our rtm countdown, our number eight video. it's tough to look at at first, but just hang on for the ending. >> guys, i have a heart-breaking animal rescue. it's a little hard to watch, but just look.

take a look at this video fro tv 9. this is i southern india. ard of an iron fence that surrounds a factory. the leopard has gored himself. >> oh, oh, oh and he's moving so it's hurting him even more. >> he's desperately trying to free himself. you can see the dart where rescuers are trying to tranquilize this animal. of course he's freaked out, of course he's trying to free himself. but rescuers were able to tranquilize the cat. they put a net over him and were able to lift the cat up and off of that fence post. >> this doesn't seem high enough to contain a leopard. i could see it trying to scale the wall. >> the fence isn't designed to contain the cat. this is a wild leopard that lives in india and just tried to jump this fence. it's not at a zoo. >> please tell me this cat is

back out in the wilderness and is running around eating field mice. in my head that's where he is. >> living happily ever after. >> so you're not giving me a leopard coat for christmas? >> no, ino, no. >> they took it to an animal hospital, they operated on it for about an hour. because the cat was so strong and healthy, they are hopeful that the cat will survive. we're seven videos away from number one right now and at number seven when, protests go too far. >> we've seen a lot of videos of different people protesting in many different ways. some people take their tops off and some people occupy city centers. check out this video we found on russia today. look at what this minor in italy did. >> what? >> he just slit his wrists on live television during a press conference. they are on one of the last

mines open in this part of italy and they're protesting because they don't want it closed because they will then lose their jobs. >> how is that supposed to be effective? >> i think he successfully got a lot of attention, though, which is i think what he wanted. >> you can tell that his miner friends, that the guys who were there to help support this protest, had no clue that he was going to do this. >> the funny thing about this is that if this mine ends up not being closed, is he going to be able to work? >> i don't think he can claim worker's comp on this one. >> you're protesting losing a job. if you lose your life action you're not going to have a job. >> he's like passed out here now. you're oing to instantly, you know, faint from that. he's really hamming it up here for the camera. >> he scared himself. >> holy crap, i really did it. >> i really did it, i can't believe it. >> before you feel too sad about the miner, he was taken to the hospital and is in stable

condition. >> it's a flesh wound. >> it's merely a flesh wound. a little traffic time on the countdown, and how to avoid a crowded road. >> motorcycles, they can go pretty much anywhere. >> see what happens when the shortcut doesn't work out. and one of the hottest pranksters on the web shows the way to never lose. >> no matter what, andrew makes it a point to win every single match. >> i cheating.

welcome back to the rtm top ten countdown, everybody. we're at our number six video and this is clearly a distracted drck in traffic on a rainy russian road. what a drag. but this guy in the black suv has figured it out. just bail off onto the side dirt road and cut by all that stuff.

>> is that an actual road or is he just driving in a ditch? >> it looks like it's an access road or something. motorcycles, they can go pretty much anywhere, until -- >> oh! >> until the road just suddenly ends and drops off into a hole. thankfully somebody comes running over to his aid. >> i feel so bad laughing at that but he's just like, oh, i'm going to beat all this traffic. >> yeah, there's a hole. the guy skids off into a hole. i don't know if it was full of water but he looked pretty soaked when he came out. >> how did he not see that there was a giant hole, there was no road? how do you miss the hole? all right, everybody, it's top five time on the countdown. we're down to the best of the best. at number five, the games people play. >> rock, paper, scissors, pretty simple game. everybody knows i re ic 1, shoot.

i win always. pretty cut and dry. there's a winner and there's a loser, unless you're our buddy andrew hale. he has a youtube channel which is growing in popularity. >> hey, do you want to play rock, paper scissors real quick? >> for what? >> for fun. >> sure. >> i win. >> he's walking around this mall walking up to strangers saying, hey, let's play a quick one. 1, 2, 3, shoot. no matter what they throw he quickly changes it to whatever beats whatever that person threw and then just goes yeah, and walks away. what just happened here? i think the funniest thing about andrew is he seems so socially awkward but has no problem going up to strangers, getting in their face, holding their hand. >> it's a way to incite a riot. you get enough people saying this guy is cheating at rock,

paper, scissors, this whole guy is going to get mad. >> no matter what, andrew makes it a point to win every single match. >> by cheating. >> by cheating. >> that's not winning. >> yeah. >> i've got to say, i do like his sort of victory word. whoops. i'm going to start using it. for the entire clip, we'll link it up on our website, rightthisminute.com. we have four videos to go to number one here on our rtm countdown. at number four, one of our favorite guys. now, he just finished one big event and he's on his way to another. >> you guys remember tony harrison. we've had him on the show before. he is the 20-year-old who was diagnosed with cancer. he has leukemia. so tony created a bucket list. and that bucket list was meeting katy perry. >> katy perry, if you're seeing this, my name is tony harrison.

i'm a 20-year-old male and i have been battling cancer since the age of 16. >> one of the other things we learned is that he had a beautiful fiancee and they mentioned last time we talked with them that they were going to get married. well, guess what, they're married. here's pictures. >> oh, she looks so beautiful. >> look at that dress. >> and her hairdo. i love the cake. i love the top. and there's a wedding party. >> beautiful moment. no wedding is complete without the cake and the face. >> i like how she changed her dress for that. >> smart girl. not only is he celebrating his wedding, he's also getting ready to go where he's going to meet katy perry. so tell us about the wedding and how preparations for the vmas are going, we have tony and his beautiful wife via skype right this minute. >> hello. >> what's it like being husband and wife? >> the same. >> we've been with each other for about two years now so it's

not much different other than rings on our finger and paper saying we're married. >> as the bride at the wedding, what was that moment like? >> it was good knowing that it's set in stone now. >> i have to say usually brides spend a lot of time, months looking for the perfect dress. you didn't have that much time. how did that go? >> it was a little stressful. luckily we found my dress within, i think, a half an hour. it was pretty quick. yeah, i was surprised. >> so you're getting ready to go to the vmas. are you nervous? >> very nervous. very nervous. i'm just like a normal guy and the vmas are full of paparazzi and all those people that are used to being on tv. i'm just like oh. >> tony, are you guys taking this as sort of like your honeymoon? >> this will definitely probably be the honeymoon because we're not only doing the vmas, we're going to disneyland, knott's berry farm and stuff like that. >> how have you been feeling? >> actually my energy has been

pretty low over the past month or so, and so where i'm going to find this energy, don't know quite yet but doctors are really trying to help out and make sure that i have enough energy to do everything. >> well, we are so excited to hear how it goes with katy perry. thank you, thank you, thank you so much. >> bye. leave it to maxim magazine to make our countdown a bit more steamy. >> please hold that for me. >> fine out how the front page goes from flap to frisky. >> a naked woman? and this guy dodged something and it wasn't a bullet. >> oh! >> what? >> holy cow! he just dodged a lightning bolt. >> see just how close he came to striking out on the rtm co wççñçñ

anncr: it'll start out as concrete and steel... but it'll become so much more. a new world-class resort casino in maryland. two thousand construction jobs to build it. four thousand permanent, good-paying jobs when it's done.

hundreds of millions for maryland schools... real oversight to make sure the money goes... where it's supposed to. but none of it will happen unless we vote for... question seven this november. vote for question seven. and help build a better future for maryland.

we're back to the rtm top ten countdown. three videos to go to number one. at number three, well, there's an app for that. >> there are lots of great apps out there and finger funk has a new one called chest burster. now, they take something in a real world environment and add computer graphics to it. look at his shirt. see? that shirt has something on it. >> whoa. >> wait, an app does this? >> appear app does this. watch, i'm going to demonstrate on nick. you download this, you put this

on yourself. download the appear, point the camera at the picture and -- >> whoa! wow! >> and when you move -- not you. when you mov your ipad, you get that alien from different angles. and you don't even need ripley or sigourney weaver here to help you out. >> are there all kinds of different pictures that you can printout that have different crazy weirdness that pops out of you? >> i think this is the only one for now. >> well, that's cool. but i don't expect you ladies to think that this is as well. the men in the audience will. please hold that for me. "maxim" magazine has their own augmented reality app. check this out. you point the "maxim" magazine app at the picture with their little icon in the corp are ane the magazine turns into a video. >> that's soft porn.

>> that is soft porn. >> it's not soft porn. it's a model in the magazine. it's the same thing you just saw with a monster jumping out of my chest. >> that's a naked woman. >> can we get past the model aspect of this and think about how this can play on all kinds of levels. >> this would be great for like cooking magazines. you put your ipad on a recipe and then someone shows you how to cook, especially if it's a k difficult technique. >> blah, blah, blah. but for now we've got sex. >> i don't know about you, but i like gayle's app better. >> i like that better too. >> this is a chest burster. >> today's runner-up, our number two video came so very close, and it's weird because this one is about close calls. >> a security camera in west yorkshire, england, caught a rainy day. we found this video at the express online. you've got a guy heading to get

something out of the trunk of his car or as they say in england, the boot. just a normal day. but watch. >> oh! >> holy cow. he just dodged a lightning bolt. >> you're exactly right, gayle. the lightning bolt hit four seconds after 55-year-old bernard williams walked away from the trunk of his car. the lightning bolt hit the willow tree that's just behind this little parking lot. it sent a ten-foot piece of that tree flying toward the trunk of the car where bernard williams was standing. >> wow, imagine if he took just an extra four seconds. >> that ten-foot piece of wood from that tree shattered the back windshield an his wife, allison, was just about to turn into this little parking lot outside of their home and saw this happen. >> it would have knocked him into the car had that hit him. >> did he go out and buy a lottery ticket after this? >> if he didn't, he probably

should have. he said that as he was walking, he heard the boom. he thought it was a sonic boom, it was that loud. he is hoping that his insurance will cover the damage. >> does he keep any of those pieces as a souvenir? >> i'd like fashion it into a walking stick. dog is known as man's best friend, but he has competition. >> and this competition took the number one spot. >> this is the best day ever. >> or maybe no

rightthisminute.com. click on best of rtm. all right, everybody, it's number one time on the rtm top ten countdown and this video has got it all. you'll see why this was our hands-down pick for number one. >> man's best friend is the dog, but he has competition. >> that creature you see there is a gray seal holding this diver's hand. >> what? >> look at its flippers. and it's really hugging that guy's hand. >> a dog will shake, but the seal will hold your hand. look at that. >> this is the best day ever. this diver must be in heaven right now. not only is he diving and sees a giant seal, but the seal is holding his hand, as if he's going to guide him on the rest of the tour through the ocean. the seal does more than hold his hand, i'm just going to give you some kisses and play with you. he grabs his hand, he pats him.

>> you all are thinking this is cute. i'm just thinking that this is -- this seal is going to hold on to his hand, not let go, take him for a swim or pull his regulator out of his mouth or bite him. >> this is beautiful and you're thinking, oh, he's going to eat him. >> it is beautiful. >> it is beautiful. let me identify the man playing with the seal. that is ben burville and he calls himself a seal diver. this is in northern england just off the coast where this happened, and that seal, that wasn't just a one-time thing. he's like, dogs melee their head on your lap so he does it again. this could be man's best underwater friend. that's it for the rtm top ten countdown. thanks for spending time with us. have an awesome weekend and we'll see you on monday.
