Dr. Wim Rutten, a retired Dutch scientist, told the Guardian he was fishing when an orca suddenly appeared and started ramming itself into his boat. According to the report, the killer whale hit the boat multiple times. "What I felt [was] most frightening was the very loud breathing of the animal," Rutten told the Guardian. "Then he disappeared ... but came back at fast speed, twice or thrice ... and circled a bit."
It raises a series of intriguing questions: Are orca attacks spreading? Will they become more common? And why are they doing this anyway?
