British Crew Of Yacht Feared For Their Lives As 30 Killer Whales Attacked Them by HolinessForever: 4:21pm On Jun 29, 2021
THE British crew of a luxury yacht feared for their lives as a pod of 30 killer whales attacked them.

The 25ft orcas slammed into the vessel’s hull for two hours — and one swam away with a chunk of the rudder.

The three-strong crew feared they would sink as the five-ton mammals rammed them.

Brit Martin Evans, 45, who lives in Greece, said: “It was an onslaught.”

Nathan Jones, 27, of New Milton, Hants, added: “I began to think: ‘Is this how it all ends?’

“If the boat had sunk we would have been in a life raft surrounded by killer whales. That would have be drastic.”

The crew left Ramsgate, Kent, and were attacked near the Strait of Gibraltar, where the boat is now being fixed.

It is the latest in a string of orca attacks in the area.

Martin said: “It felt like they had a plan and were angry.”

An expert said one of the whales may have been previously hurt by a boat.

Everything on this Earth is reacting.
The ground and Mountains are shaking and quaking,
The sea and its creatures are roaring,
The sun, the moon and stars are reacting,
It's all about the Soon Appearance of the KING of kings.
Look up Folks! Our redemption draws Near.
The Coming of the Lord is so close Folks.

White people and risking their lives

God made the sea for the whales and land for man, still man will leave his territory and go trespassing the animal boundaries.
Why won't they react and attack them?

This is the second failed whale attack. They are lucky this time. They may not be lucky the next time.

The whales are not smiling.
