WEBVTT 00:11.519 --> 00:13.679 Hello and welcome to CNN 10. I'm Corey 00:13.679 --> 00:15.360 Wire here with your daily 10 minutes of 00:15.360 --> 00:17.440 news for you this Tuesday, March 24th. 00:17.440 --> 00:19.199 We will start with a motivational 00:19.199 --> 00:21.279 reminder. You never truly appreciate 00:21.279 --> 00:23.439 what you have until it's gone. A good 00:23.439 --> 00:25.600 example is toilet paper. Thank you for 00:25.600 --> 00:27.279 making me and my team a part of your 00:27.279 --> 00:29.760 day. Now, let's get you your news. On 00:29.760 --> 00:32.399 this day in 1989, an oil super tanker 00:32.399 --> 00:35.360 called the Exxon Vald crashed into Bllye 00:35.360 --> 00:37.440 Reef off Alaska's southern coast, 00:37.440 --> 00:39.040 spurring one of the worst environmental 00:39.040 --> 00:41.680 disasters in US history. More than 11 00:41.680 --> 00:43.760 million gallons of crude oil eventually 00:43.760 --> 00:45.520 spilled into the surrounding waters of 00:45.520 --> 00:47.920 the Prince William Sound, wreaking havoc 00:47.920 --> 00:50.480 on the ecosystem. The spill quickly 00:50.480 --> 00:52.239 spread into the Gulf of Alaska, 00:52.239 --> 00:54.399 polluting thousands of square miles of 00:54.399 --> 00:57.280 ocean, damaging more than 1300 miles of 00:57.280 --> 00:59.120 coastline. Local communities that 00:59.120 --> 01:01.199 depended on fishing and tourism to 01:01.199 --> 01:03.280 survive were heavily devastated. 01:03.280 --> 01:05.119 >> My husband's a fisherman and has been 01:05.119 --> 01:06.640 since he got out of high school and our 01:06.640 --> 01:08.560 livelihood has just gone down the tube. 01:08.560 --> 01:11.600 >> If we don't produce, if we can't fish, 01:11.600 --> 01:13.920 if we can't deal with our livelihood, 01:13.920 --> 01:15.680 then uh this town will die. I think it 01:15.680 --> 01:18.000 brings most of us to tears of because of 01:18.000 --> 01:20.720 what happened to such an incredible 01:20.720 --> 01:21.520 environment. 01:21.520 --> 01:23.920 >> But the spill's biggest impact, damage 01:23.920 --> 01:25.920 to the pristine region's abundant 01:25.920 --> 01:28.159 wildlife was catastrophic. 01:28.159 --> 01:30.000 >> What we have in Prince William Sound is 01:30.000 --> 01:34.159 obviously uh very severe damage. Very 01:34.159 --> 01:37.040 severe environmental damage both to the 01:37.040 --> 01:42.320 beach areas uh and to the the wildlife. 01:42.320 --> 01:44.560 The barnacles are dead. The muscles are 01:44.560 --> 01:46.799 dead. The the kelp is dead. The beach is 01:46.799 --> 01:48.560 covered with with tar. 01:48.560 --> 01:50.880 >> Studies estimate the spill killed around 01:50.880 --> 01:54.799 250,000 seabirds, 4,000 sea otterters, 01:54.799 --> 01:57.600 22 orcas, and billions of fish eggs. 01:57.600 --> 01:59.520 Some species in the area have yet to 01:59.520 --> 02:01.360 recover. Initial cleanup efforts 02:01.360 --> 02:03.920 involved thousands of workers and lasted 02:03.920 --> 02:06.159 for years. To this day, though, oil 02:06.159 --> 02:08.399 still remains in parts of the region. 02:08.399 --> 02:10.239 Investigators determined the crash was 02:10.239 --> 02:12.319 caused by a combination of crew error 02:12.319 --> 02:14.560 and equipment failure. The incident led 02:14.560 --> 02:16.959 to a number of reforms. Congress passed 02:16.959 --> 02:19.360 the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 02:19.360 --> 02:20.959 protecting the sound from certain 02:20.959 --> 02:23.280 tankers and standardizing requirements 02:23.280 --> 02:25.760 like reinforced hulls to help prevent 02:25.760 --> 02:28.800 future spills. NASA is one step closer 02:28.800 --> 02:31.200 to sending humans back around the moon. 02:31.200 --> 02:33.040 The Aremis 2 rocket has officially 02:33.040 --> 02:35.280 rolled out to the launchpad in Florida. 02:35.280 --> 02:37.680 The move began this past Friday at Cape 02:37.680 --> 02:40.080 Canaveral as the rocket slowly made its 02:40.080 --> 02:41.840 way out of the vehicle assembly 02:41.840 --> 02:43.760 building. According to NASA, the 02:43.760 --> 02:45.760 rocket's fourmile journey to the 02:45.760 --> 02:48.480 launchpad took more than 10 hours on a 02:48.480 --> 02:51.519 crawler transporter. One slow step for a 02:51.519 --> 02:53.519 rocket, one giant leap towards deep 02:53.519 --> 02:55.920 space exploration. If all goes as 02:55.920 --> 02:58.000 planned, liftoff could come as soon as 02:58.000 --> 03:00.879 April 1st. No April fools here, just a 03:00.879 --> 03:04.159 mission decades in the making. Now to an 03:04.159 --> 03:05.920 incredible advancement in the world of 03:05.920 --> 03:08.239 emergency medicine. A futuristic foam 03:08.239 --> 03:10.000 that gets injected into the body, 03:10.000 --> 03:12.319 potentially saving the life of someone 03:12.319 --> 03:14.800 bleeding internally. It's known as 03:14.800 --> 03:17.599 rescue foam and it expands inside the 03:17.599 --> 03:20.080 body to help stop potentially fatal 03:20.080 --> 03:22.480 internal bleeding while surgeons go to 03:22.480 --> 03:24.080 work. Our Jacqueline Howard got the 03:24.080 --> 03:26.080 chance to see how the innovation works 03:26.080 --> 03:28.640 and talked to the first person ever to 03:28.640 --> 03:30.239 receive the treatment. 03:30.239 --> 03:31.920 >> All right, Dr. Hugley, let's take a 03:31.920 --> 03:34.000 look. This is how it would look in the 03:34.000 --> 03:36.560 human body. You might think this is just 03:36.560 --> 03:38.959 a cool science project, but it may 03:38.959 --> 03:42.720 actually be able to save your life. Wow. 03:42.720 --> 03:44.159 Oh my goodness. 03:44.159 --> 03:46.080 >> It could be a game changer. 03:46.080 --> 03:48.080 >> It's called rescue foam, and the 03:48.080 --> 03:50.080 material works a lot like a human 03:50.080 --> 03:52.720 version of fixlat. Doctors inject it 03:52.720 --> 03:55.760 into the abdomen. It quickly expands and 03:55.760 --> 03:58.000 it creates pressure from inside the body 03:58.000 --> 04:00.159 to slow life-threatening bleeding. 04:00.159 --> 04:02.239 >> It saved my life. It really did. 04:02.239 --> 04:04.319 >> We've been given an exclusive interview 04:04.319 --> 04:06.959 with Ronald Farms. He's the very first 04:06.959 --> 04:08.959 person in the world to be treated with 04:08.959 --> 04:10.879 this futuristic material. 04:10.879 --> 04:13.360 >> By all science, I shouldn't be here. By 04:13.360 --> 04:15.120 all medical personnel, I should not be 04:15.120 --> 04:17.359 here. That's what every one of them have 04:17.359 --> 04:19.519 told me. It was a miracle. 04:19.519 --> 04:22.320 >> How does it feel to be back here now 04:22.320 --> 04:24.479 walking, recovering? 04:24.479 --> 04:27.199 >> Very sobering. Dr. Hugley and them had 04:27.199 --> 04:29.919 told my family even if I made it through 04:29.919 --> 04:33.440 the surgeries, I would never walk again. 04:33.440 --> 04:35.199 Lo and behold, here I am walking thanks 04:35.199 --> 04:36.400 to the good Lord. 04:36.400 --> 04:38.320 >> It was last year when Farms was 04:38.320 --> 04:40.479 seriously injured in a car crash in 04:40.479 --> 04:43.600 Alabama. He was 34 years old and he had 04:43.600 --> 04:45.120 just moments to live. 04:45.120 --> 04:46.880 >> I said, "Lord, forgive me for failing 04:46.880 --> 04:49.680 you." Cuz I knew I had a destiny here on 04:49.680 --> 04:51.759 this earth and I thought this was it. 04:51.759 --> 04:53.759 When Farms arrived at the University of 04:53.759 --> 04:56.160 Alabama Birmingham Hospital, doctors 04:56.160 --> 04:58.479 immediately knew he could be a candidate 04:58.479 --> 04:59.600 for rescue foam. 04:59.600 --> 05:02.160 >> The foam has to be extracted through the 05:02.160 --> 05:04.639 same type of surgery we would use to 05:04.639 --> 05:06.800 treat intraabdominal bleeding. So, we 05:06.800 --> 05:08.720 only want to use it in someone we know 05:08.720 --> 05:10.160 is going to go to surgery. 05:10.160 --> 05:12.479 >> The foam gives doctors just enough time 05:12.479 --> 05:14.639 to prep for surgery. And it's during 05:14.639 --> 05:16.800 that surgery when the foam is then taken 05:16.800 --> 05:19.039 out after it's already done its job. 05:19.039 --> 05:20.800 There's always adrenaline and trauma, 05:20.800 --> 05:22.240 but it's rare that we encounter 05:22.240 --> 05:24.240 something that has never been done 05:24.240 --> 05:26.240 before or that we've never done before. 05:26.240 --> 05:28.400 >> Rescue foam was developed by Arsenal 05:28.400 --> 05:31.120 Medical, and some experts do worry about 05:31.120 --> 05:33.120 potential side effects. Some experts 05:33.120 --> 05:35.520 worry self-expanding foam could risk 05:35.520 --> 05:38.080 causing bowel injury or unintended 05:38.080 --> 05:40.960 pressure on the chest. But Dr. Hugley, 05:40.960 --> 05:44.000 he says he is confident the benefits 05:44.000 --> 05:45.919 outweigh the risks. The side effects 05:45.919 --> 05:49.600 that we see from rescue foam usage are 05:49.600 --> 05:52.000 manageable compared to intraabdominal 05:52.000 --> 05:54.800 hemorrhage which is often times fatal. 05:54.800 --> 05:56.560 >> I just thank the Lord that he gave the 05:56.560 --> 05:58.880 knowledge, the gifts, the talents to 05:58.880 --> 05:59.759 these people. 05:59.759 --> 06:00.479 >> How you doing? 06:00.479 --> 06:01.759 >> Helped save my life. 06:01.759 --> 06:02.639 >> Good to see you, too. 06:02.639 --> 06:05.759 >> You look great, man. 06:05.759 --> 06:08.400 >> 10sec trivia. What part of the flower 06:08.400 --> 06:11.680 produces pollen, petal, stem, anther, or 06:11.680 --> 06:14.680 root? 06:19.520 --> 06:21.919 If you said anther, you are in full 06:21.919 --> 06:24.319 bloom. Like a tiny pollen factory, an 06:24.319 --> 06:26.800 anther can release thousands, sometimes 06:26.800 --> 06:28.960 millions of pollen grains from a single 06:28.960 --> 06:30.560 flower. 06:30.560 --> 06:32.479 One of the most iconic indicators that 06:32.479 --> 06:34.639 spring has sprung in the United States, 06:34.639 --> 06:37.039 the cherry blossoms in Washington DC. 06:37.039 --> 06:39.199 And as the trees begin to show early 06:39.199 --> 06:41.440 signs of blooming, the symbolism behind 06:41.440 --> 06:43.840 the natural landmark is also on full 06:43.840 --> 06:46.080 display. The original blossoms were a 06:46.080 --> 06:50.560 gift from Japan. In 1912, 3,020 cherry 06:50.560 --> 06:52.400 trees were planted around the tidal 06:52.400 --> 06:55.680 basin, East Ptoac Park, and the Ptoac 06:55.680 --> 06:57.680 River waterfront. They were a gift from 06:57.680 --> 07:00.000 Tokyo's mayor at the time and were 07:00.000 --> 07:01.840 welcomed in an elaborate friendship 07:01.840 --> 07:04.160 ceremony with President William Taft and 07:04.160 --> 07:06.560 First Lady Helen. Ever since, the blooms 07:06.560 --> 07:08.880 have become an iconic backdrop for US 07:08.880 --> 07:10.960 presidents and diplomatic visits. An 07:10.960 --> 07:13.919 estimated 1.6 million people visit the 07:13.919 --> 07:16.400 nation's capital each spring just to see 07:16.400 --> 07:19.039 them up close. Last week, Japanese Prime 07:19.039 --> 07:21.840 Minister Say Takayichi announced that 07:21.840 --> 07:23.840 Japan will present the US with an 07:23.840 --> 07:26.720 additional 250 cherry trees soon to 07:26.720 --> 07:29.520 coincide with the 250th anniversary of 07:29.520 --> 07:31.520 the founding of the United States this 07:31.520 --> 07:34.400 summer. At the Whipnade Zoo in England, 07:34.400 --> 07:36.720 some tiny feet are already making big 07:36.720 --> 07:39.759 moves. At the UK's largest zoo, 07:39.759 --> 07:41.520 three-month-old southern white rhino 07:41.520 --> 07:44.479 calf Mick is taking his very first steps 07:44.479 --> 07:46.960 outdoors before quickly picking up the 07:46.960 --> 07:49.680 pace. And once he gets going, there is 07:49.680 --> 07:52.160 no slowing down. Not far behind, 07:52.160 --> 07:54.479 reticulated giraffe siblings Leone and 07:54.479 --> 07:56.720 Duke are also stretching their legs, 07:56.720 --> 07:58.879 wobbling at the start, then finding 07:58.879 --> 08:00.960 their footing as they explore their 08:00.960 --> 08:03.360 outdoor home. With only about 10,000 08:03.360 --> 08:05.599 southern white rhinos and 11,000 08:05.599 --> 08:07.840 reticulated drafts left in the wild, 08:07.840 --> 08:09.680 these little steps are part of a much 08:09.680 --> 08:11.759 bigger journey, helping protect the 08:11.759 --> 08:14.400 future of their species. Now to the 08:14.400 --> 08:16.879 Great Lakes for a frigid rescue you will 08:16.879 --> 08:18.879 have to see to believe. A snowmoiler 08:18.879 --> 08:21.039 near Michigan's Machino Island found 08:21.039 --> 08:23.599 himself stuck on a shrinking patch of 08:23.599 --> 08:26.240 floating ice in the middle of Lake Hiron 08:26.240 --> 08:28.800 during a blizzard. Nonetheless, windy, 08:28.800 --> 08:31.120 white out conditions prevented an aerial 08:31.120 --> 08:33.440 rescue. So, the Coast Guard diverted a 08:33.440 --> 08:35.839 nearby cutter crew to make the save. The 08:35.839 --> 08:38.240 ship was able to reach the man just in 08:38.240 --> 08:40.560 time and safely brought him aboard where 08:40.560 --> 08:43.200 he was treated for hypothermia symptoms 08:43.200 --> 08:45.200 and stabilized. The crew was even able 08:45.200 --> 08:47.200 to hoist his snowmobile aboard just as 08:47.200 --> 08:49.279 the patch of ice reduced to nearly 08:49.279 --> 08:54.120 nothing. Talk about a great save. 08:57.120 --> 08:58.959 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A 08:58.959 --> 09:00.880 small business owner with a zest for 09:00.880 --> 09:02.959 doing good in his community. What 09:02.959 --> 09:04.560 started as a gift for his high school 09:04.560 --> 09:06.880 teachers has become big business for 09:06.880 --> 09:09.920 24year-old Max Crawford. His signature 09:09.920 --> 09:12.800 spice blend, the Max Mix, is now sold in 09:12.800 --> 09:15.680 more than 150 stores across the Midwest. 09:15.680 --> 09:18.399 And he's got a following. Max has Down 09:18.399 --> 09:20.800 syndrome. He was autographing bottles at 09:20.800 --> 09:22.880 a Kansas City groceryer this weekend to 09:22.880 --> 09:24.880 mark World Down Syndrome Day. 09:24.880 --> 09:27.040 >> He just wants what everyone else wants 09:27.040 --> 09:28.320 and he wanted to have his own company 09:28.320 --> 09:30.640 and he wanted to be taken seriously. 09:30.640 --> 09:33.279 >> $1 from every sale goes to a Kansas City 09:33.279 --> 09:35.279 organization that helps adults with 09:35.279 --> 09:36.959 intellectual or developmental 09:36.959 --> 09:39.440 disabilities live independently. If 09:39.440 --> 09:40.880 you're not in the Midwest but love a 09:40.880 --> 09:43.040 good spice blend and a great cause, yes, 09:43.040 --> 09:46.160 you can get the Max Mix online.
