A beautiful humpback whale breaching, with an oil derrick in the background and a fishing line trailing from its mouth. Keep up the good work, humanity.

Good Deed Of The Day: Diver Cuts Whale Loose
Not exactly clear when this happened (and right whales should be up north now), but a diver off the coast of Virginia manages to cut some fishing gear free as an entangled right whale swims by.
It could have gone very badly wrong if the gear had entangled the diver, too, and the whale had sounded. So kudos to the diver.
