Tourist boat hits whale, goes air born, sends people waaaay up in the air. Video in blog.

Let’s be honest. When you’re on a beach vacation in Mexico, some of those excursions are run by companies/ people that might not be exactly certified. Case in point. A bunch of tourists were on their way to La Paz on a boat excursion. The guy driving the boat was going too fast and he wasn’t watching where he was going very well. They hit a whale. It sent the boat literally flying. The whole thing went vertical into the air. Some of the tourists were flung out of the boat. One of them was flung up THROUGH the canopy cover of the boat, about 30 feet into the air, and out into the ocean. You can see the whole thing happen on the video I posted on my blog at B1073.com. Several people, including kids were injured. One woman was sent to the hospital. It’s crazy watching the one person get tossed through the roof and out. One minute you’re laughing and enjoying a margarita, the next you are literally shooting up into the air like a cartoon character out of a cannon. I’m going to stick to swimming with dolphins.
