‘I’m in a whale’s mouth, he’s trying to swallow me’
Packard, 56, says he was caught in the mouth of a humpback whale off the coast of Cape Cod before he was spat out.
Michael Packard, 56, said he was about 45 feet (14 metres) deep in the waters off Provincetown when “all of a sudden I felt this huge bump, and everything went dark”.
He thought he had been attacked by a shark, common in area waters, but then realised he could not feel any teeth and he was not in any pain.
“Then I realised I’m in a whale’s mouth … and he’s trying to swallow me,” said Packard.
“And I thought to myself this is it, I’m gonna die.”
Packard estimates he was in the whale’s mouth for about 30 seconds on Friday but continued to breathe because he still had his breathing apparatus in. Then the whale surfaced, shook its head, and spat him out.
