please do not be cynical
I hate cynicism for the record it’s my
least favorite quality it doesn’t lead
anywhere
2010 the year that dared to dream or did
it welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 events of 2010 for this list
we’ll be looking at events from each
half decade from pop culture natural
disasters medical breakthroughs sports
and political happenings based on their
significance at the time and their
lasting impact today we’re excluding the
Arab Spring protests which although they
may have started in 2010 the
demonstrations protests riots and so on
did not truly reach full momentum until
2011 this is part of a series of videos
spanning the decades why the wait I’m
not trying to learn from lessons done in
the past and I just wanted to give her
the best chance to to settle in and see
what you know what happens the other
side number 10 the sinking of the
Cheonan warship
although never entirely proven evidence
and Intel blamed the sinking of the
South Korean Chun on warship in March
2010 on a North Korean torpedo as fired
by a sub the warship took just five
minutes to sink losing 46 lives in the
process while North Korea flatly denied
sinking the vessel the area in which the
incident occurred is frequented by North
Korean fishers and is very near the
Korean border
additionally pieces of a North Korean
torpedo were found near the ship’s
wreckage the UN Security Council has
condemned the attack which led to the
sinking of a South Korean warship but
falls short of blaming the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea
unlike the response to the North’s
shelling of young pyoung Island later
that year South Korea was unwilling to
chance armed conflict so instead cut off
financial aid to its northern neighbor
we are holding a memorial service here
to let our people know the serious
threat of North Korean terrorism and the
importance of national security number 9
The Tonight Show conflict hello there
I’m Conan O’Brien sorry if I’m a little
late I had a job interview at lady Foot
Locker in 2009 NBC discovered an issue
when it came time to give the Tonight
Show to Conan O’Brien people still
watched Leno I started this show my hair
was black and the president was white
NBC opted to keep both comics and gave
Leno a new earlier show which drew in
fewer viewers than the dramas it
replaced the quickest fix stick Leno
back into the 11:35 p.m. timeslot and
bump Coco to 12:05 a.m. except Conan
wouldn’t budge fans have even organized
save Coco rallies and vow to follow him
wherever he ends up Leno meanwhile had
an ironclad pay and play contract
meaning O’Brien
either had to move or jog on after less
than eight months on the job
Conan walked with his last Tonight Show
airing in late January 2010 nobody in
life gets exactly what they thought they
were going to get but if you work really
hard and you’re kind amazing things will
happen
Jay returned to the Tonight Show on
March 1st 17 million people watch the
Golden Globes Sunday night at NBC and as
a result any NBC announced we begin
airing read
feats of the Golden Globe five nights a
week at ten o’clock
number eight the royal engagement
announcement I’ve been planning it for a
while but as every guy that will know
it’s it takes a certain amount of
motivation to get yourself going both 28
Prince William and commoner Kate
Middleton actually became engaged while
on vacation in Kenya on October 20th
2010 but it was only publicly announced
on November 16 2010 she had caught as I
had said at a student charity fashion
show he’d bought a front-row seat the
soon-to-be royal couple met in
University in 2001 though only made
their relationship public in 2005 and
briefly split in 2007 when I was trying
to impress case I was trying to put
these amazing fancy dinners and all what
happened was I burned something
something with overspill sort of a catch
on fire Prince William presented Kate
with his mother’s Princess Diana’s
engagement ring a weighty creation made
of a large sapphire and many many
diamonds although the pair didn’t
actually Wed until early 2011 the
engagement set off a media frenzy so
much so that an actual Royal Wedding in
2010 that of Swedish Crown Princess
Victoria and Daniel Westling
is largely unremembered at least outside
of Sweden she’ll be thrilled thank you
very much paksy belong another number 7
the Tiger Woods divorce a lot of
transpired in my life a lot of ugly
things have have happened 2010 was not
Tiger Woods year coming into the year
with the world discovering he had no
fewer than 14 known mistresses would
spent at least 45 days in a sex rehab
clinic following a series of affairs
despite his marriage to Swedish model
Elin Nordegren party girls waitresses
escorts and strippers all came forward
as part-time Tiger handlers while porn
star Holly Sampson claimed to have slept
with the golfer at his bachelor party
fellow porn star Jocelyn James even
claimed to have been pregnant in
multiple times by Tiger he’s the one
that was married he’s the one that took
vows with his wife Elin I’m a hundred
percent single he pursued me and it
takes two to tango basically but the
final straw for Elin came in
Apryl with the mistress who also
happened to be their neighbors 21 year
old daughter a lot of people say hey
you’re the luckiest guy in the world
you’re married to a model got beautiful
kids
I guess that’s enough for an average man
but I’m above average number six the
chilean mining accident by the time of
their rescue in mid October 2010 the 33
miners had been 2,300 feet underground
for 69 days in the San Jose copper gold
mine 17 days after the mine collapsed
they had no contact from the world above
but things changed when they attached a
note onto a drill bit the eager crowd
was astonished to see a small bag
attached inside were two notes the men
could not contain their joy soon the
miners were supplied food cameras bibles
as well as clothing and sunglasses for
their eventual rescue trapped in a space
about the same size as a studio
apartment the miners were able to access
some tunnels for exercise solitude and
bathroom breaks miner Edison Pena even
ran several miles a day to keep fit
during the Copiapo accident and in
90-degree heat no less a guy that it was
got on everybody’s nerves they owned
that guy number five the US diplomatic
cables leak wiki leaks org a
whistleblower web site has published
what it says are nearly ninety two
thousand official US documents of raw
data on the debts and casualties
collected over the past six years
WikiLeaks and founder Julian Assange
steadily grew in Fame and infamy
throughout 2010 the organization made
headlines in April of that year by
releasing a 2007 video showing a u.s.
Apache helicopter killing journalists
and civilians this video put WikiLeaks
on the map and showed the real face of
war apathetic teens unaware that they’re
shooting at real people July was noted
with a release of 92 thousand classified
American military files from the Afghan
Stan War October saw the first of four
hundred thousand Iraqi war logs being
released but it was the November
incident that really put WikiLeaks on
the wanted list it is my role to be the
lightning rod to attract to attract the
attacks against the organization for our
work on November 28th the site released
over 250,000 embassy cables sent to the
US State Department known as Cablegate
it was the single largest leak of
confidential documents ever sent to the
public domain every American school
child is taught that George Washington
could not tell a lie if citizens in a
democracy want their governments to
reflect their wishes they should ask to
see what’s going on behind the scenes
number four the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell
repeal Act of 2010 it is the best way to
proceed because it provides a sensible
balance between the rights of the
individual and the needs of our military
to remain the world’s number one
fighting force implemented in 1993 the
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy was never
exactly popular in the LGBT community
I’m here because Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is
wrong it’s unjust while it did allow for
gays and lesbians to serve in the
military in a way it also booted them
straight out if they were open about
their sexual orientation efficiency
matters much more than a sexual
preference we are in the middle of war I
mean the whole you know Don’t Ask Don’t
Tell policy is the least lowest priority
in my mind right now
hotly debated in both the house and the
US Senate throughout 2010 the Don’t Ask
Don’t Tell repeal Act was signed by
President Barack Obama in December of
2010 I am just overwhelmed this is a
very good day the Act would formally
become law the following September and
allowed gays and lesbians to openly
serve and allowed formally discharged
lesbians and gays to reenlist today
Copas told us he might reenlist just
because I’ve been burnt by this policy
and doesn’t mean that’s been taken out
of out of who I am still a patriot I’m
still a soldier at heart number three
the
of a yah-yah-yah-yah quick volcanic ash
has caused the worst disruption in air
travel since 9/11 although fairly
insignificant as far as volcanoes go a
yah-yah-yah-yah quick nonetheless found
a way to wreak havoc in 2010 despite
being tucked away in Iceland and only of
concern to sheep and horses the volcano
managed to disrupt air travel across
much of Europe for six days in April as
a result of its multiple eruptions this
came down to the sneaky bugger being
parked right under the jet stream and
pumping glass like ash straight into it
yeah fly yeah her ball I apply a year
caval on the less jerk side of things on
March 25th the volcano allowed
scientists to witness the formation of a
pseudo crater for the first time ever
yes yes number two the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill it started as a fiery accident
that led to the evacuation of a hundred
fifteen workers in the search for 11
others who were never found
bp’s drilling of an exploratory well off
the coast of louisiana resulted in the
worst oil spill in US history in 2010 on
april 20th a leak of oil and gas from an
underwater BP pipeline in the well
resulted in a fire and explosion that
caused the Deepwater Horizon oil rig to
sink two days later on what was
ironically Earth Day which only
underlined the oil spills environmental
impact we will make BP pay for the
damage their company has cost me leaking
for 87 days the spill saw the release of
almost 5 million barrels of oil into the
Gulf of Mexico the spill ultimately
killed about 8,000 animals and cost 40
billion dollars in clean up efforts to
all those affected I want to say we are
deeply sorry
we’re sorry before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
[Music]
Chilean struggled to get out of
buildings so in just their pajamas at a
price of nineteen point six billion
dollars and now the Cadbury board’s
blessing craft now becomes the largest
confectioner in the world and fifty
eight million dollars to stop us at
fifty eight million dollars now at fifty
eight million dollars at fifty eight
million fifty nine million number one
the Haiti earthquake help is on its way
but for now Haiti is battling the
aftermath of a devastating natural
disaster in mid January 2010 after the
strongest earthquake to hit the
Caribbean country in over two centuries
nearly three million people or one-third
of Haiti’s population were left in need
of aid more than 1 million of those were
left homeless while as many as three
hundred and sixteen thousand people were
killed by the quake and it’s more than
50 aftershocks yes no no hospital
no electricity nothing no food no fun no
food no water nothing power and
communications were down while roads
were blocked and hospitals were
destroyed damage was especially brutal
due to the country’s non-existent
building codes and unrepaired damage
from cyclones in 2008 the hospital ship
is a must for us now because some of our
hospitals have been affected collapsed
also so we need that kind of support due
to Hades crippling poverty g7 nations
forgave debts while an American telethon
fronted by Wyclef Jean and George
Clooney raised close to 60 million
dollars in donations
[Music]
