Whale capsizes boat off coast of New Hampshire

UN-WHALE-COME SURPRISE: A teenager fishing with his brother captured the moment a whale breached and capsized a boat off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire, on Tuesday (7/23). The teens Colin and Wyatt Yager sprang into action and rescued the two men who were sent flying off their boat. Their boat was later towed away by a company. A coast guard crew said the whale didn't appear to be injured and the incident was reported to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

How many times have you been told, do not throw plastic cups and cigarette butts into the sea. There you go, you got a perfectly executed PIT maneuver by sea patrol.

Even whales are pissed off at hoomans.

This is very strange and unusual for whales to charge a boat like this..

[townsray]

Who was on the boat?
was there anybody on the boat? need some content! did anybody get hurt?

[JesterRace]

Nice move to tow/right the boat at the end there

[jaypee]

Poor blubber monster didn't see the boat. I'm glad those guys are ok. I wonder if that even hurt the whale at all, probably not.

It looked like the kid in the other boat ended up getting out of there instead of helping the people in the boat that capsized😮
