  • I feel so much better, the fishermen said "there are no hard feelings". So big of them.

    ...is the whale ok? Imagine trying to eat and stupid metal objects keep swarming around you...
  • @sirenamares1390
    Yeah, I definitely would have felt that too if I were the whale. Imagine you're about to take a spoonful of breakfast and somehow get smacked on your chin by a toddler's toy truck as you do. That whale will definitely tell this tale to his friends.

    Whale thought it was a loot box

    Title is not accurate. Boat in the way of whale sinks!
  • @jgrant5255
    The whale was probably tired of humans trashing the oceans.
  • @quitequiet5281
    The fish might also be attracted to the shadow of boat... Which is why the event is a possibility.

    Nature is unpredictable, the sheer size of the whale 🐋 dictates that you get out of their way... glad everyone is alright... :-)
