Breaching humpback whale topples boat off New Hampshire coast: video

Whale, they didn’t see that coming.

A pair of fishermen were tossed into the chilly New Hampshire waters Tuesday when a “pissed off” humpback landed squarely on their boat.

The thrilling video shows the magnificent beast soar out from the surface just beyond the stern of the small vessel anchored a half-mile off the coast of Portsmouth.

Those young men remained calm. They helped the 2 men in the boat get out of the water. They deserve praise.

Whale OK, men Ok, teenagers’ quick thinking saved the day, boat towed to shore with minimal damage. What a story!!
Whale just happened to come out of water as whales will do and came back down, scratching the motor casing a bit on the descent. Longer story on your search engine.

The whale wasn't deliberately attacking the boat or men. It just breached the surface of the water. Not unusual behavior.

That might have badly injured the whale

So many people are jealous of somebody owning a boat and living a life not glued to the internet.

At least ppl went right away to help. Hope everyone is ok

This reminds me of those "When Animals Attack" shows that used to air on Spike TV.

The whale was quickly arrested and charged with assault with a deadly flipper.
