No One Knows Fear Like These People Who Had A Humpback Whale Belly Flop Onto Their Kayak.

Whoever said whale watching was boring? Pretty much everyone, actually. But that's only true if your life isn't in danger.

This video was taken on an 8 a.m. Sanctuary Cruises whale tour in Monterey Bay, California. A passenger named Larry Plants (lol) was filming some nearby whale breaches when one clumsy cetacean breached right on top of a tandem kayak. There was a terrifying moment when it wasn't clear if the two passengers had been crushed to death, but then it turned out they had escaped unflattened.

Why are they smiling?

That's a relief. It would be terrible if this turned out like the Free Willy director's cut.
