Commercial Lobster Diver Survives Terrifying Moments Inside Whale's Mouth

It happened off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts

A commercial lobster diver cheated death after nearly being swallowed by a humpback whale off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Friday morning.

Michael Packard survived a harrowing half-minute inside the whale's mouth before the mighty ocean mammal "spit me out," he wrote on a Provincetown community Facebook page.

"A humpback whale tried to eat me," Packard, 56, wrote. "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."
