Whale dies after hitting boat at Jersey Shore, knocking woman overboard
A whale that collided with a small boat and knocked a woman overboard at the Jersey Shore has died, officials said. The incident occurred around 3:40 p.m. Saturday in Barnegat Bay near Long Beach Island in Ocean County when the 20-foot minke whale hit the boat, knocking a woman into the water and nearly capsizing the vessel. Boat Captain Charlie Nunn told NBC 10 Philadelphia the whale likely got anxious and went into fight-or-flight mode, leading to 'a close call, a freak accident' in shallow water. 'They're not supposed to be in three feet of water,' Nunn said. 'They keep bumping into something, it's probably fight-or-flight for the poor thing.' He added that the woman who fell into the water was uninjured. Kim Mancini, who took videos of the incident, said the whale was trying to get to deeper water. 'It was really in distress,' she told 6ABC. 'That's when it would go under boats; it was a crazy experience.' Nearly an hour before the crash, the whale was reported to the New Jersey Marine Mammal Standing Center, Coast Guard and state agencies. It may have hit a pontoon boat after the initial crash. It was also spotted resting in a sandbar after swimming into the boat. The MMSC said the whale was dead when they arrived at the sandbar. The organization said it hoped to tow the whale away on Monday and perform a necropsy to determine the animal's cause of death. The MMSC advised boaters to stay at least 150 feet from the whale carcass. _____

"It was really in distress. That's when it would go under boats, it was a crazy experience," she told 6abs. After flailing around in the ocean, the animal found itself under the boat's hull. Terrifying footage shows the boat bobbing on the sea as the whale's fin jerks out just a few metres away.

Last year, A video taken by a pair of brothers on a nearby ship captured the terrifying ordeal, showing the exact moment a whale submerged a fishing boat near the New Hampshire coast. Brothers Colin and Wyatt Yager, both Maine natives, said they were fishing about a half-mile off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire – about 10 miles southwest of Portsmouth Harbor – when the whale first appeared. Incredible moment two giant whales 'protect' diver from bloodthirsty shark Portsmouth Harbor is located about 50 miles northeast of Boston, Massachusetts. Colin quickly took out his phone to film the whale, eager to get the sighting on camera. "I had my fishing rod right here, phone in my hand, and just saw it go up, and was just lucky enough to be facing the right direction," Colin said, as reported by ABC affiliate WMUR. Colin's brother Wyat was shocked at what happened next. "I saw it come up, and I was just like, 'Oh no, it's going to hit the boat!' and then it started to flip," Wyatt Yager said. They watched as the whale emerged from the water, crashing on top of a nearby fishing boat. The brothers jumped into action to help rescue two individuals on board, who had fallen into the water as their boat capsized. At least one of the two fishermen was wearing a lifejacket, according to reports. "When I turned, the whale's head was already landing on the engine," said fisherman Greg Paquette. "So when I saw that, then all of a sudden, I look down, the boat is pitching up, the transom is going down into the water." The other fisherman on board, Ryland Kenney, called the experience "surreal." "Everything seemed like in slow motion. It was really weird," he said. "Everyone was like, 'Oh, it was eight seconds. How'd you move so fast?' But it was almost slow motion, like a movie." 5 The incident went down in Barnegat Bay in New Jersey Credit: Facebook/Kim Mancini

Whale killed off Jersey Shore after bashing boat, throwing passenger into water
A woman was knocked from her boat off the Jersey Shore when a distressed whale bashed the vessel – sending her flying into the waves, shocking footage shows. The incident happened on Sunday off Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, when a small motor boat came across a 20-foot minke whale that was seen thrashing in shallow waters. The whale's fin and back could be seen lurching out of the water in evident desperation. When the boat approached, the whale became even more frantic and wound up under its hull – eventually tipping the vessel during the thrashing and sending a woman into the water. She was quickly pulled to safety, and wasn't injured. The incident was caught on camera by Kim Mancini, who said the whale seemed to be in trouble before boaters arrived. 'It was really in distress. That's when it would go under boats, it was a crazy experience,' she told 6abc. The whale appeared to be struggling to get to get to shallower water, Mancini said. Sadly, the animal eventually died, according to reports.
