Breaching whale capsizes boat and sends two people overboard
A breaching whale has capsized a boat and sent two people flying into the water.
Two people fell into the ocean as the huge mammal turned their boat upside down.
The footage was filmed by Colin Yanger, who says he was on a nearby boat whose occupants pulled the individuals to safety.
Rescuers confirmed they had received a mayday call stating that a 23ft boat had turned over because of a whale breach.
"The occupants were ejected from the vessel as the boat capsized," the Coastguard posted on X.
"A good Samaritan recovered both individuals from the water. No injuries were reported."
The boat crew from Station Portsmouth reported the whale appeared not to be injured.
The incident has been reported to the Center of Coastal Studies Marine Animal Hotline and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
