"but what are wildlife officials saying about this" really kills the mood, why does the mainstream so fear people living outside the box?
Now that's a MAN!
Your gonna need to swap out life vest for a parachute when that tail sends you.
Yay… Way to ruin the video. Tell us about the total exhilaration.
"A rescue some people are calling a 'whale' of a tale."
"Well that's because there's an actual whale!"
Studio: laughs
Me: Craves the sweet release of death
Whatta man
He didn't leap on the back, he jumped over it, then crawled on the back.
humans: "we are Heroes ! "
whales: uuummm … wasn't that Your net ? ! ?
humans: "ooohhh, yeah, right, right … our bad. :-/ "
love these stories, but hate to think of all the "un~rescued" :-s
I love whales, one of my favorite animals. But I could never swim next to one.
Good job Sammy
I seriously want to punch that guy yelling in the face. Truly obnoxious piece of shite and his friend could easily have been killed. While it takes skill to maneuver a craft alongside a major marine animal the hero is Sam who took an incredible life threatening risk. That is not how you inspire courage. I'm sure if Sam had been crushed to death between the whale and the boat his screaming and haranguing wouldn't have been too comfortable to watch. In moments like those it must only be solely the person's decision. Luckily for that beautiful creature Sam had courage and survived. I saw them on Ellen.
I'm in love with you Sam and yes I'm a dude.
I'm surprised they weren't fined. But so proud of them for doing something. Excellent job boys!
What a cazy man
I am confused. It seems to me that I just saw a bit on whales. It was either Global 3000 or Focus Europe.
I think it was the head of Finland that okayed the slaughter of 351 whales a year to his relative's company.
You do not hear about it in U.S. mainstream media though.
He just wants to eat it
Whales are very intelligent. I'm sure it's very grateful and will remember this helpful human.
The sea was angry that day, my friends. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.
Mammal. Whatever..
Nada más y nada menos que acuaman!
Now that's what I call heroism.
Jump on a Humpback Whale? That was a pretty gutsy move. Amazing that he was able to actually get on the whales back & cut the net free in like 5-10 seconds.
Lets use this analogy to jump and save our country from madness, hate, lies. Lets keep the Russia updates alive and expose the liar. Encourage to Vote Blue!!
FREE WILLY!
I love this guy!!!
He is a MAN !
