A Humpback whale crushes a boat while at sea : theCHIVE

: American tourists captured a rare and unusual sighting in the Gulf of California. A fishing boat became the victim of a male humpback whale who mistook it for a female and playfully attacked it. However, with the weight of 40 tons, the humpback whale nearly sunk the boat, which became flooded with water. Luckily, the boat and crew emerged shaken, but safe.

Same boat, just turned around. The pictures aren't exactly a slideshow.

It's not the same boat. #3 is a center console and is blue. The others show a white boat with some type of mast sticking up. Look at the side of the hull and you can see the shape is completely wrong. The center console gets smaller as you head to the stern, the other boat actually goes upward.

Everyone calm down, scotsman is right, there are two different boats. #3 is just a boat that happens to be in the shot when the whale was breaching. The boat that got hit is completely different.

If you put "hump" in an animal's name, you can hardly blame it for doing this.

The boat in picture #3 is not the same boat as in the other pictures. Something is "fishy" here.

They're lucky they were in that boat! That boat is so heavy on the bottom it will self right itself. Virtually a boat that can't sink unless the hull is compromised

Nothing like being sexually assaulted by a giant whale. I bet that would leave your glasses askew.

You think someone walked on water taking that picture, or that there might be 2 boats involved. And therefor can be 2 different boats (as it is!)

Your pun sucks because whales are mammals, and because you're wrong.

Good thing it wasn't a sperm whale.

How do they know what the whale was thinking?

Hump!?! What hump!?!

The first boat was never hit. The boat that is in the pictures toward the end of the post is actually a Mexican speed boat which was speeding by people watching a whale. The whale did not hit their boat they ran over the whale. You can see how the boat is deflected sideways after hitting the whale. The whale did not seem to be harmed and the boat never stopped.
