I was reading about that. It's incredible that no one was hurt and just as incredible that 99% of the damage was to the mast - that's it.

Where is a Japanese whaling fleet when you need one?

Can you imagine the look on their faces as that whale came flying through the air at their boat?

its always better to have good friends who have boats as opposed to having one yourself.

It's a plane, it's a bird, nope it's a whale.

live on it. Have it moored somewhere and live on it. When you move, you move with it. So cool, how fun would that be.

That blows.

heheh. Those photos are awesome though.
Hopefully, the whale was OK, and the ship was insured.

I guess they didn't speak whale.

Call me skeptical. But the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was a shark & helicopter picture from a few years back:

crazy if true.... what made me wonder, not being a photo edit geek, is that in the "attack" photo the guy's shirt is red but in the harbor photo his shirt is blue... I could certainly understand the need to change his SHORTS after the event, but his shirt? hmmm......

The photos are legit and from a person on a whale watching cruise. They had been trailing these whales and the reason this particular whale was caught on film is it had already breached twice so the person had their camera trained on that spot.

Now, another person on that same boat has released this video of the event:
