Whale Crashes Into Boat, Injuries Two Fishermen
Two Fishermen Narrowly Escape Death
Coast Guard Rescues Injured Fishermen
A humpback whale breached near a recreational boat in New Hampshire on Tuesday, causing the boat to capsize and injuring two fishermen. The whale landed on top of the boat, crushing the cabin and throwing the two men overboard.
The fishermen were rescued by the Coast Guard, and both were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The whale was not injured and swam away after the incident.
The Coast Guard is investigating the incident, and it's unclear what caused the whale to breach. Experts say that whales are known to breach for a variety of reasons, including searching for food, communicating with other whales, and playing.
