Man swallowed by whale by Cape Cod; MA lobster diver survives humpback
All of a sudden, I felt this huge shove and the next thing I knew it was completely black, Packard recalled Friday afternoon following his release from Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis. I could sense I was moving, and I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth.
Initially, Packard thought he was inside a great white shark, but he couldn t feel any teeth and he hadn t suffered any obvious wounds. It quickly dawned on him that he had been swallowed by a whale.
I was completely inside; it was completely black, Packard said. I thought to myself, there s no way I m getting out of here. I m done, I m dead.
It could have been a giant squid. Then he would be history.
