WATCH: Man captures plane bouncing on runway while attempting to land at TPA
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)— A pilot prevented a crash at the Tampa International Airport after a small plane started bouncing on the tarmac.
A video from Steven Markovich showed a red Cirrus SR22 propeller aircraft attempting to land on March 27 at TPA.
The airplane is seen bouncing more than once before going back into the air and landing smoothly the second time.
'Immediately upon touching down the aircraft began to bounce several times,' Markovich told Storyful. 'Wisely the pilot aborted the landing and did a go-around. Second time was a perfect landing.'
The aircraft left from North Myrtle Beach and landed at 10:33 a.m., according to flight information.
'This appears to be a small private jet executing what is called a 'go-around' and is not uncommon,' said Emily Nipps, Director of Communications at the Tampa International Airport.
Nipps said no emergency response was activated that day.

Family's dog ‘Zeus' dragged into Florida pond by massive alligator and miraculously comes out alive: ‘I don't know how he survived'
A family dog named Zeus summoned the strength of his namesake and managed to escape the literal jaws of death when an alligator dragged him from his backyard into a nearby pond, the dog's owners said. 'The vet told us the gator had just missed his jugular — it looked like Zeus's entire head had been in the gator's mouth. The fact that he made it out alive is nothing short of a miracle,' the family wrote in a GoFundMe post. Even the vet said, ''I don't know how he survived,'' the family added. 3 Zeus, a German Shepherd who survived a gator attack, wears the cone of shame while he recovers. GoFundMe Zeus, a German Shepherd, heard a noise on the night of June 2 and scooted through his doggie door out of his home in Wesley Chapel, Fla., to investigate, the family said. In an instant, an alligator came crashing through their backyard fence, snatched Zeus and dragged him to a pond, they said. 'My dad came in frantic. I'd never seen him like that. He's a tough guy. He said, 'The alligator just took Zeus,'' Zeus' owner Susan Alkhatib told WFLA. The family watched in horror as Zeus struggled while the alligator thrashed with the German Shepherd's head in its mouth. Finally, Zeus managed to escape the beast and the alligator swam off. 3 The alligator that attacked Zeus has managed to elude trappers on the hunt for him. GoFundMe 'The alligator had just let go of Zeus,' Alkhatib told WFLA. 'We started yelling at him to come toward us. When he got closer, he got tired. So we had to kind of go into the pond a little bit to get him.' Susan's mom waded into the pond and grabbed the battered pet and they rushed him to a veterinarian hospital for an emergency surgery. After the attack, Alkhatib said they don't feel as safe at home anymore. 'We have a doggy door, and Zeus will go in and out of it whenever he wants,' Alkhatib said. 'We have it covered right now because of what happened.' The family had taken a video of the scaly culprit earlier in the day when the gator had been lurking along the banks of the water. The family told WFLA that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has sent out trappers, but so far, the guilty gator has avoided capture. 3 Zeus suffered a broken jaw and underwent surgery after an alligator attacked him and dragged him into a pond near his home in Florida. GoFundMe Meanwhile, Zeus is slowly but surely recovering, according to the family. He sustained a fractured jaw, puncture wounds, and the vet needed to manually realign his jaw and wire it together. He's on a liquid diet fed to him with a syringe until he has another surgery in about 8 weeks. He'll also need to wear a muzzle for at least another month. A picture of the recovering miracle pup shows him post-surgery with his wounds around his neck and face, with much of his fur shaved off from the surgery. 'Despite it all, Zeus continues to be such a trooper,' the family wrote in a recent update on GoFundMe. 'He's getting tons of love, snuggles, and care.'

Watch: 'Cinnamon' the bear spotted in backyard pool for first time since LA fires
Watch: 'Cinnamon' the bear spotted in backyard pool for first time since LA fires Show Caption Hide Caption Cinnamon the bear makes poolside return A neighborhood bear was seen for the first time since the Eaton Fire in January, taking a dip in a homeowners' pool. A local bear beloved in a Los Angeles County neighborhood made a splashy return to the public eye after not being spotted for nearly half a year. Residents in the city of Pasadena had begun to miss "Cinnamon" the bear, who was no where to seen since the Eaton Fire devastated the city in January. However on Wednesday, June 4, resident Ramona Mucciolo found the cherished mammal taking a dip at her home pool. Surveillance footage shared online shows Cinnamon chilling around the pool, cooling down ahead of the summertime. "I was in the kitchen looking out and she walked around to the shallow end and got in," Mucciolo told Storyful. Mucciolo said she lived across the street from the San Gabriel Mountains, which the destructive wildfire wrecked the area, particularly California's Altadena community. The Eaton Fire, along with the Palisades Fire burned over 37,000 acres for nearly a month killing at least 29 people. "Several bears frequented our neighborhood," she said. "Since the fire, none had returned until June 4, when Cinnamon showed up and relaxed in our pool. We rejoice at least one bear has survived the fires." 525-pound bear remerged from fires in February Cinnamon is not the only bear to rise from the ashes. In February, a 525-pound black bear was found hiding under the home of Altadena resident Samy Arbid, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The adult male, well-known to neighborhood residents as Barry, was discovered crouched in a crawl space beneath the home when a utility provider came to restore power. Bear finds refuge under an Altadena home during Eaton Fire A 525-pound bear was found under an Altadena home after the deadly Eaton Fire in Los Angeles, he was lured out to safety with treats. "I think during the fire he pretty much stayed there. I think he was scared," Arbid told local media outlets, according to Storyful, adding he "couldn't believe it." After a nearly 24 hour process, Barry exited the crawlspace and triggered the trap door within minutes from CDFW officials placing a trap. He was then transported to the Angeles National Forest, received a welfare check and a GPS collar before safely returning to the wild. Contributing: Saman Shafiq, USA TODAY

EPA grants permit for fish farm demonstration off Sarasota County coast
SARASOTA COUNTY (WFLA) — For the last seven years, Hawaii-based Ocean Era has been working to bring a fish farm demonstration to Florida's Gulf Coast. Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency approved a permit that allows the company to move forward with its plans. The demonstration project calls for up to 20,000 red drum or red fish in a net pen with multiple mooring anchors. The fish farm would be located in the Gulf about 40 miles off the coast of Sarasota County in water that is about 130 feet deep. New Florida law adds requirement before teens can get behind the wheel 'The pen will be designed so that it can be submerged 30 to 45 feet below the surf surface, so at night or when a storm is coming through, the net pen can be submerged,' said Ocean Era founder Neil Anthony Sims. 'We think as people look at this, they're going to come to understand this is a great opportunity for producing delicious seafood, for creating employment opportunities and it is going to be a spectacular fishing location. Whenever you put structure out in the ocean whether it be a fish farm or an oil rig or a fish aggregating device, fish will gather around that and I think the Florida fishing community is going to really love offshore aquaculture.' Sims says he hopes to show the Gulf Coast community that offshore aquaculture is a safe and sustainable option for growing and harvesting fresh seafood locally. 'At the moment, we are importing red drum from Mauritius on the other side of the planet. They are farming them there and now they are shipping the fish back to us here. That makes no environmental sense in terms of the carbon footprint of those fish, but it is also jobs that we could be creating here in the US,' said Sims. Ocean Era's efforts have not come without pushback. Environmental groups have joined forces to express their opposition to the project. One of those groups is Suncoast Waterkeeper. Executive Director Abbey Tyrna says there are a number of concerns that she and others have about the project, which would be the first of its kind in the Gulf. 'Not only is there a concern for nitrogen pollution, which is something that local governments on the Suncoast have worked really hard to eliminate from our waters, now this is a direct input into our waters of nitrogen that fuels harmful algal blooms. That is a prominent concern, but then also the disease that are known to spread from these farms into the wild population,' said Tyrna. 'We are also worried about harm to endangered species, especially sea turtles that are going to congregate around where food is provided, so what kind of harm is it for them given that the cage is now monofilament line, which can be harmful to all kinds of species regarding entanglement, given that it is really hard to see. Taken together, it is just not a project that we would like to see here on the Suncoast.' Sims said he understands the concerns, but said studies have proven that in deep waters that are far enough offshore, there are no significant environmental impacts. 'Images we have of the offshore fish farm here in Kona, Hawaii show that it really has minimal impact on water quality. This is validated by the fact that cauliflower coral grows profusely on the structures on the fish farm. For the fish farm it actually becomes a problem, but they are taking those cauliflower coral and working with NOAA and other environmental groups to use that for replanting on the reefs here in Hawaii. That is validation that the water quality on the fish farm really is not impacted by the fish themselves,' said Sims. There is still time left for someone to appeal the EPA's ruling this month. However, if not, Sims said we could see the net pen in the Gulf by the end of this year or early next year. 'What we would like to see as marine biologist and environmentalists, we want to see more seafood grown in the ocean. This demonstration project we hope will help the community understand, if we grow this industry there in the Gulf, that it is going to be something they are going to learn to love,' said Sims.
