Local officials told public broadcaster NHK that the coast guard is unable to rescue the whales because the surrounding ice is too thick
Oh sure, but for a billionaire humanity will comb the oceans to rescue the goo that's left of them from trying to show off.
- Maybe the Orca's should have pulled themselves up by their finstraps. (/s)
Update: They have now escaped.
Mr Beast get out there and fucking save them
Well, that ruined my day.
- They are free now!
Shit! Now Japanese fishermen will kill them all!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A pod of at least 10 orcas are trapped by sea ice off the coast of northern Japan, drone footage from Tuesday morning shows.
The video, released by local wildlife organization Wildlife Pro, showed the killer whales struggling with their heads above the frozen waters off Hokkaido, Japan.
Local officials told public broadcaster NHK that the coast guard is unable to rescue the whales because the surrounding ice is too thick, BBC News reported.
According to local media, nine orcas died in 2005 after getting stuck in drift ice in the same area, BBC reported.

Go watch "The Cove" and you'll see why Japan isn't doing anything.
- You don't need to watch a whole doc to learn that Japan still goes whaling.

  To grasp how fucked up it is maybe people should
Between the Coast Guard and the Self Defense Force, there should be at least one ice breaker that they can plow a channel past where the pod is and lead them back into open water.
Biden, tell Alaska to stop stealing land from the Inuit for five minutes and help out.
- Norway?
  
  Famously close to Japan. Oh basic education. You have failed us.
  
  Sorry, I read to fast, I ment Japan
  
  If they leave now, they can free those orcas in like 2 months. Especially if they have to avoid the Panama (drought) and Suez (Houthis) canals.
