Can you insert links to the story, Riley?
The link is probably different now, since it would have been updated multiple times. In big stories like this, media are going to have multiple stories from multiple angles. This is probably a case where the video story you picked didn’t match the print story you picked. The various video stories are lined up below the video window.
There would also be differences based on when the story was done — over Haiti, over Florida, headed out to sea, etc.
