An Australian teenager is in critical condition after a whale breached and landed on the boat he was aboard on Sunday, CNN reports.
Nick Myhill, 18, was on a recreational fishing vessel off the south coast of New South Wales at the time of the incident, about 200 miles south of Sydney. Local law enforcement received a MAYDAY call shortly after the animal made contact with the boat.
Myhill, and his step-father Matt, were both transported to a local hospital, where the older man was treated for facial lacerations and a concussion. Myhill was later airlifted to another hospital, where he remains in a coma.

Whale. Not a porker. The Great White would have eat the boat. “Farewell and adieu my fair Spanish ladies”.

No one can say that they did not have a whale of time.

When I lived in Alaska I spent a lot of time in small boats on Cook Inlet. There were always reports of boats going missing or found abandoned on perfectly calm bluebird days. I think boat-whale collisions could account for some of these. I was cruising along the south shore of Kachemak Bay one fine summer day when I had to take evasive action to avoid colliding with two Minke whales that suddenly surfaced to my port side. I didn’t start shaking until afterwards.
