Yeah.... The orcas have been striking the rudders, for some reason and it's led to a few boats sinking. At first it was thought that this might have been behavior that started as revenge over a female orca getting hurt by a rudder, but I guess they eventually ruled that out as a reason.


Breaching whales have landed on boats before, too. I don't know why this incident is getting the publicity it has. And this happened just a couple of years ago here in New England, so it's not even as if it's been a long time between incidents:

Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were just 22 hours into their 10-day trip from Vilamoura, Portugal, to Greece when the pod set its sights on the £100,000 — or $128,680 — sailing boat.


“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” Powell, who was meant to be celebrating his birthday aboard the boat, told SWNS.

The five orcas circled the 39-foot sailing boat and took turns smashing it to bits around 8 p.m. in a coordinated assault Powell compared to the carnage of wolves...
