sarah_444 Posted January 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A number of killer whales are trapped in the ice near a northern Quebec fishing village, using only a small patch of open water to breathe, say locals in the isolated community.In a video posted to Facebook, a number of the whales can be seen taking turns breaching in the small patch of open water: some torpedo straight up, several feet out of the water, while others surface porpoise-style to catch a breath. Simeonie Nalukturuk, public safety officer for the nearby village of Inukjuak, Que., confirmed no less than 11 whales are trapped. Full Story (and video footage) Pretty sad, I hope they can get them safely freed somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted January 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I suppose an ice-breaker ship is economically out-of-the-question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted January 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) OMG NOT AGAIN!!!! Did anyone ever see the movie based on the true story of 3 whales trapped in ice in Alaska? I don't even remember the name of it...even though I just watched it about two weeks ago...Drew Barrymore played the chick who was all into GreenPeace. Yeah, the Russians brought in an ice-breaker and saved the whales... Operation Breakthrough...the true story Edited January 9, 2013 by joc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRIPTIC CHAMELEON Posted January 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I do hope they save them like they did with those whales years ago. Edited January 9, 2013 by CRIPTIC CHAMELEON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousGreek Posted January 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why don't they create a Titanic 2, just to break the ice and set those whales free? (Cheap joke, i know!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah_444 Posted January 10, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I guess they've managed to move on, thankfully. I just read an article stating that they were no longer there when someone went out there to check on them this morning. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...bay-rescue.html Edited January 10, 2013 by sarah_444 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
