Hawai'i surfer Bethany Hamilton, the Kaua'i teen who lost her arm in a shark attack, talked to Ellen DeGeneres yesterday. Bethany's first talk-show appearance will air at 3 p.m. today on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," broadcast on KITV in Honolulu.
Watching from the audience were her family and Holt Blanchard, her best friend's father, who was there when the attack happened. Blanchard's application of a tourniquet saved the 13-year-old's life.
