Searching a debris-strewn beach for victims of Indonesia's deadly tsunami, a rescue team happened upon a giant sea turtle trapped in a pile of marine trash. It took four staff to haul the endangered creature back to sea, just the latest in a string of turtle rescues along the country's devastated coast. ''The turtle was really large and it got stuck in a pile of rubbish, lying almost upside down,'' Adi Ayangsyah, a member of a search and rescue team in hard-hit Lampung on Sumatra island, told AFP Friday.
