The orca, named T146D, was reported to be 20 foot long and let out five calls when rescuers sprayed it with seawater.
In total Duncanson, a social media manager, shared six clips of the orca rescue efforts, with her most popular, uploaded on Wednesday, amassing more than 17 million views.
"It was so sad seeing the orca up in the rocks, I think we all shed a tear at some point. NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] gave permission to use a water hose to keep the whale wet and to keep it protected from any animals that may be near, until they could arrive themselves. While helping the mammal, Duncanson slipped on the rocks and sprained her ankle, saying:"The adrenaline was so high, and we were all trying to do our best to make sure the orca was comfortable, so I was moving a bit too quickly on the rocks. I like to consider myself pretty agile on the Alaskan rocks, but these rocks were extra slippery and unfortunately I slipped into a crack while filling a bucket of water and heard a loud 'pop'.

Alaskan tides are 15-20 foot difference and switch every six hours. There was an earthquake that night in a different part of Alaska. But they say that may have made the tides act differently this day.
NOAA followed her out until it dove down. They didn't take any videos, and no one else was allowed there to make sure she wasn't stressed." Photo of the beached whale in Alaska. It was reported the orca managed to make it back to open waters when the tide came in., saying:"My niece Aroon is up here and found this stranded orca several miles from here. In all the years I've lived here I've never heard or seen anything like this. I have to wonder if the 8.2 #Earthquake was to blame. NOAA is on its way to try to save it.
