American flight 3235 DI land safely in Tulsa and 63 passengers and crew were transported to the terminal.
Alexis Higgins, a spokeswoman for Tulsa International Airport stated that passengers were then allowed to exit, where responders made sure all passengers were OK and then provided transportation.
The airplane was eventually was examined by mechanics and the airline made all efforts in making sure all the passengers reach their original destination.
Sausalito-based Marine Mammal Center (MMC), a nonprofit organization has responded to nearly 120 calls concerning stranded sea lion pups off the California coast, from San Francisco to San Diego. The pups are abandoned by their mothers and are undernourished. The event is no longer a surprise to many experts as such event happened in previous years, although the number of stranded pups recently is becoming alarming. Any disease had been ruled out.
