Message in a bottle travels from Rhode Island to Portugal, connecting two teenagers

High-tech devices are used for instant communication. But one message is fascinating for the slowness of its remarkable ocean voyage. Jamie Yuccas speaks to two teens who have connected through a message in a bottle.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

I tell you what... Why don't we all throw bottles in the ocean.... Wait? All of us already do it. What a stupid story. And the other two bottles got swallowed by a tortoise that died on the ocean floor.

Interesting that what is essentially pollution, is twisted to a feel good story 😐

Don't pollute the ocean please. We don't care about the letter in the bottle or friendship. Thank you.

So cool! Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe in the same broadcast, CBS covered an environmental disaster with chuckles and jokes, too!
