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.

I didn’t post it because of her skin color. This was in a thread from yesterday about her being a yoga instructor.

But I will ask the moderator to remove it at you request.

Mr. Moderator please remove my previous post #23. Thank you

Sad. Boaters ripping along rivers are often hit by huge Asian carp I think it is, many getting pretty serious I juries, likely even broken bones. Wouldn’t b surprised if some have died from the high speed collisions. This fish jump very high when spooked, and they are everywhere in certain rivers, 1000’s of them
