Emergency rescue effort is launched for teen sailor Abby Sunderland

They found her!  A plane spotted her and made radio contact.  She's upright, but the rigging is down.   A ship has been diverted to pick her up.

I cannot believe how much relief I am feeling for a stranger I knew nothing about until yesterday.  SO glad it's a good result!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
