A pair of New England fishermen are lucky to be alive after a 80,000-pound humpback whale smashed into their boat off Rye, New Hampshire.The latest: Video of the collision shows a very big whale leaping onto the back of a boat that's tiny by comparison.The boat quickly begins to capsize and throws its two passengers into the sea like candlepins.💭 Deehan's thought bubble: The video is truly a must-see. Not quite baby wheel-level, but it's up there. Somebody better call Jay.What they're saying: "He went under, he disappeared for a few minutes, and then the next thing we know, he just popped right up on our transom," fisherman Ryland Kenney told WMUR.The intrigue: Marine biologist Alisa Schulman-Janiger told National Geographic the whale wasn't attacking the boat or the humans.She said it was "a collision between a whale 100 percent focused on feeding, and a fishing boat dead in the water," and not making any noise that would let the whale know it was there.Go deeper: Schulman-Janiger said the whale was likely just following a school of fish when it impacted the boat.
