Whale lands on boat off New Hampshire coast, throwing people into ocean
Video recorded by another boat nearby
Two people were thrown into the ocean after a whale landed on their fishing boat off the New Hampshire coast on Tuesday morning, and the entire incident was caught on video. Wyatt Yager, 19, of Maine, said he and his brother Colin, 16, were fishing about one mile off the New Hampshire coast because they were looking for pogies. Colin spotted the whale and began recording, with his video showing Wyatt in the foreground. The video shows the whale breaching, propelling fish out of the water. As the massive animal’s mouth closes, it flops over onto the rear of the nearby fishing boat with two men aboard. One of the men jumped and the other was thrown overboard as their boat rolled, and the Yager brothers said they helped pull them out of the water. The brothers say no one appeared to be seriously injured.
