Stranded Orca freed! - Catherine - 07-24-2015
Sometimes there is a happy ending. A young Orca was stranded on the rocks off the west coast of Canada. When the time went out she was high and potentially dry. A team of rescuers kept her wet for seven hours before the rising waters were able to lift her free.

Watching her swim off is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see.
You have to love the dedication of the people who stayed with her and essentially saved her life so she could swim free. They make me proud to be human.
There is a better background video.

The rescuers talk about the experience.
