Massachusetts lobster diver survives being swallowed by whale

Massachusetts lobster diver survives being swallowed by whale

https://www.foxnews.com/us/massachus...wallowed-whale

A commercial lobster diver says he was swallowed whole by a whale off the Massachusetts coast Friday but made it out alive with only minor injuries following the life and death encounter.

Michael Packard, 56, of Wellfleet, was released hours later from a Cape Cod hospital following his scary encounter with a humpback whale. He told WBZ-TV he was 45 feet deep in the waters off Provincetown when the attack occurred.

He initially thought the whale was a shark but realized he was wrong when he didn't feel any teeth or pain.

"All of a sudden, I felt this huge shove and the next thing I knew it was completely black," Packard recalled Friday afternoon, according to the Cape Cod Times. "I could sense I was moving, and I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth."

"I was completely inside (the whale); it was completely black," he added. "I thought to myself, ‘there’s no way I’m getting out of here. I’m done, I’m dead. All I could think of was my boys, they’re 12 and 15 years old."

Packard said he thinks he was in the whale's mouth for about 30 seconds. He was able to breathe because he still had his breathing apparatus.

In an effort to save himself, Packard said he began shaking the whale's head before the animal surfaced and ejected him. In a Facebook post, he said the whale "spit me out" and that he escaped with bruises and no broken bones.

Packard's mate, Josiah Mayo, plucked him out of the water and headed back to shore. Fox News has reached to Packard but has not heard back.

"Based on what was described this would have to be a mistake and an accident on the part of the humpback," said Jooke Robbins, director of Humpback Whale Studies at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown.

Humpbacks are strictly plankton/krill feeders, with a maximum throat diameter of about 8 inches. It never had any intention of actually eating the diver. Basically an extreme case of mistaken identity.

Great story though. Glad he survived with no injuries

The whale probably spit him out once he tasted that the guy was a patriots fan.

It's not hard to believe. Sea life is pussy shit compared to land creatures. Minus the teeth they're mostly just soft tissue and cartilage. If you ever find yourself swallowed whole by something like that you beat the **** out of it's insides until it "rejects" you.
