Newschannel 8 anchor Bob Hite intro’d an interesting and detailed story about Odyssey, MOSI, the exhibit, pirates and lost treasure. I wasn’t able to obtain a direct link to the video clip. WFLA-TV reporter Jeff Patterson goes through file video of Odyssey search and exploration techniques while providing background on the company. Video is also shown of the new displays for the exhibit. OMR Exec. Vice President Mark Gordon is intervied by Patterson. Since I don’t have a direct link to the video clip you can find it by going to www.WFLA.com, it is titled, “New MOSI Display” under the “MORE: Local News Tab. It runs 3:12 and is well done. It does contain a little footage of the possibly $500,000,000.00 recent Atlantic find.
