Michael Packard spent a harrowing 30-40 seconds in the mouth of a whale before being spit out into the ocean.
Michael Packard was working off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts on Friday when he had a harrowing experience that will surely be a whale of a tale for him to tell for years to come., Packard, a commercial lobster diver, was in about 45 feet of water when he was swallowed by a humpback whale.
"I just want to clarify what happened to me today. I was lobster diving and A humpback whale tried to eat me," Packard, 56, wrote in a"I was in his closed mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before he rose to the surface and spit me out. I am very bruised up but have no broken bones." Packard went on to thank the Provincetown rescue squad for helping him.
Amazingly, Packard was released from Cape Cod Hospital with only minor injuries and was able to go home to recuperate, according to"I just felt this truck hit me," Packard told NBC Boston."And everything just went dark ... I just thought, ‘Did I just get eaten by a white shark?’ And then I said, ‘No, I don't feel any teeth.’ And I said, 'Oh my God, I'm in the mouth of a whale. With his mouth shut.
