I'd be jumping up and down with sheer delight if I got to see something like that, and she's busy breaking out in assholes and shitting herself to death.

And with the exception of a dad and his daughter in a kayak (much more scary than this larger boat), this is the first time I saw someone react so... out of touch? Indifferent? Self-centered? The whale was obviously saying 'hi' as they're known to do. There are hundreds of videos of this happening out there. Since cameras are now ubiquitous we now know it's fairly common. Before smartphones people just talked about whales and schools of dolphins saying 'hi' and it was thought of as mythical; but no, they're intelligent, they're saying 'hi' and seeing what's up.

Video of the dad and girl where the girl freaked out:



There's another similar video with a dad and daughter and they are in heaven:

I would put down the phone and calmly fasten my life preserver while standing in the emergency inflatable dingy and check for paddles. One of those whalie dudes can be 120 tons and that is ONE HELL OF ALOT OF SUSHI.... She should have called GhostBusters...

You don't start spinning your propellers with a whale under the boat. Those morons should not be allowed out on the water again.
