A humpback whale threw a fishing boat into the air off the coast of Australia on Saturday, Aug. 5, knocking two men unconscious and injuring others.
The 28-foot boat was carrying five tourists and three crew members when the whale slammed into the vessel, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported Monday.
The vessel was returning from a fishing trip near the Whitsunday Islands on Australia’s northeastern coast when the giant collision happened.
One of the toursists was sent to a hospital with severe facial injuries, two people suffered broked ribs, and another had a broken nose.
Captain Oliver Galea was knocked over and cut his forehead. The deep cut required eight stitches.
