Today, the United States Coast Guard reported a Dolphin had beached itself near Plummet Point. Efforts to save the Dolphin were hampered by the tide and its being mired in the sand.

Air accident investigators are centering their investigation on suspicions that a giant basketball-player was somehow involved in the accident.
