LIVE NEWS FEED of Manatee rescue in progress

[chiamarie]

I know it's not planning related; but it is SeaWorld related.

There are/were 17 manatees that got trapped swimming up a storm drain/calvert. Rescuers have been there since about 4pm EST. 6 manatees have been rescued and retruned to the canal they came from. 10 are still trapped. The link below is a live feed to the rescue; looks like it will be going well into the night tonight for anyone interested in watching.

19 of them in total, now safe and sound thanks in large part to the efforts of Seaworld staff . I love happy endings!
