Photographer Captures Scary Moment Colleague Grabbed By Whale 02:12
Divers were about 25 nautical miles off the shore of South Africa checking out a naturally occurring phenomenon, when 51-year-old Rainer Schimpf suddenly found himself trapped inside the mouth of a Bryde's Whale. And like a good photographer, colleague Heinz Toperczer was on the boat getting the perfect shot of Rainer hanging out of the whale's mouth. But it didn't take away from the fear everyone felt in that instant. The Bryde's Whale is not aggressive toward humans and is generally good at sensing when people are around. This was merely an accident; however, it was unclear how deep into the ocean the whale would drag Rainer. Luckily, he lived to tell the tale.
