< img src ="https://savageventures.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/whale-capsizes-boat.jpeg?w=1008"alt= ""> A huge baleen whale capsized a 23-foot-long fishing boat this morning with two men onboard, and the video is going viral. The incident took place off the coast of New Hampshire, and reports suggest the two guys were not hurt.
Local news outlet Portsmouth Herald provides information on what took place. The fishermen on the capsized vessel were Greg Paquette and Ryland Kenney. The boy recording the video, 16-year-old Colin Yager was aboard the boat that reached the Paquette and Kenney initially.
Yager and his older bro Wyatt, 19, were fishing in the early-morning hours of Tuesday early morning when they spotted a whale. Portsmouth Herald reports that about an hour later on, that whale knocked into Paquette and Kenney’s fishing boat. The effect threw them overboard and sank the vessel.
The good news is, the Yagers were there and happy to assist.
In the viral video drawn from the Yagers’ viewpoint, you can see the whale breech (leap from the water) and arrive on the back of a boat. Wyatt Yager then starts turning his boat around before Colin Yager’s video cuts off.
The Portsmouth Herald reports that the whales’ victims remained in the water for less than two minutes before the Yager brothers pulled them to safety. The Yagers state many other boats had actually happened the help; they just took place to arrive first.
