CBS offered a pair of reports from the beach resorts of the Atlantic coastline, one grisly, one cute. Mark Strassmann showed us homevideo of the fire at a fraternity beach house on Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina. Students from Tri Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon had been partying until 4:30am, neighbors said. They were trapped in a pre-dawn blaze that started on the back deck just two hours later: seven of the 13 died as their structure was consumed by a fireball. Meanwhile on Daytona Beach in Florida, Kelly Cobiella showed us so-called "wash backs." Baby sea turtles live in clumps of seaweed in the open ocean. When the wind turns easterly, the seaweed gets washed back onto the shore and the three-inch-long creatures get stranded "by the bucketful." Cobiella showed us the Volusia County Marine Science Center "where every last one gets a checkup and fluids." The center's Michelle Bauer implored us: "Look in their little eyes and they have that cuteness to them…They have been on Earth longer than we have. So they are just ancient. They have got that history to them."
