    This is like when people observe bison too close and get trampled when they're spooked. Except they said they were hangin around a school of bait fish so the whale was just catching breakfast and these guys got in the way. Fish were probably trying to use the boat as cover.
  • The Lord protects, and He made all the creatures above and below in the sea. So glad everyone is ok.

    Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of our actions.

    Can you please tell them the truth? This is NH. The whales are going crazy from the continued Humm of the wind turbines and the floating fiberglass that's in the water from the failed turbine and the oil & fuel slicks from the wind turbines themselves. You really need to start telling the truth. Cover how Shell and Chevron are backing out of the Ocean Wind Turbine and selling these to the next highest bidder because of the Wind turbine failure rate. Also, huge amounts of debris and fiberglass were washed ashore and was also found in the fish.

    My guess is that with the talk of the water alive with "baitfish" (anchovies, mullets, menhaden?)...the whale was "fishing" too and may have been so distracted by the appeal of its meal it didn't calculate the jump landing on the boat...fortunate all around...how cold was the water in July off New Hampshire? I'm guessing having been out to the famous island out of Portsmouth, about 60-62 degrees F.
