It happened, obviously, but I just can't fathom how.
What kind of vessel would it take to make that kind of damage, and how fast would it have to be going to take the whale unawares, close enough that it couldn't evade?
That makes this story worse, me thinking that it should have been an avoidable accident, at least on the whale's part.
Or that it was deliberate and the whale couldn't avoid it?
Even if a 'perfect storm' accidental collision, it's still sad.
