Not "swallowed".

My stock response that I use whenever I imagine myself confronting a terrorizing situation applies here, too: I would have had the Big One inside the whale.
Within a few seconds of my realizing where I was, I know my ticker would have snapped off and the whale would have had to spew a plump but motionless elderly lady from its mouth.

I hope whales don't get a bad rap from this. This is not typical whale behavior and this incident was a fluke (no pun intended.) I don't want to see people fearing whales and harming them.

I'm think the whale just wanted to play, especially since it was a youngster. It may have been curious too. I don't think it had malice on its mind.

Everyone has got to eat! @Imaoldhippie I'll keep you company in time out 😃
I, too, am glad that the outcome wasn't worse.

I'm sorry, this story is a little hard to swallow

You should be ashamed of yourself, @Ladybug724 :-)

I grew up in Massachusetts and when I go back, I always take a Whale Watch tour out of Gloucester, MA. The trip in wonderful and we see the Humpbacks, among other animals. The Humpbacks are very curious and check-out the boat by coming up close. I can imagine this happening but also confident it was a mistake on the Whales part. I doubt the Whale wanted to eat a human.

I know. If you're gonna report news, make sure you have the facts correct.
