Investing.com -- A dramatic incident off the southern coast of Chile was captured on camera last weekend when a humpback whale briefly scooped up a kayaker in its mouth before releasing him unharmed. Adrian Simancas, the kayaker, was out at sea near the town of Punta Arenas with his father when the event occurred.
Simancas described the incident, saying, "I felt like I was being lifted, but it was clearly too strong to be a wave." He further recounted the sensation of something "blue and white passing close to my face, like on one side and above." For a moment, Simancas believed he had been swallowed by the whale.
The entire event was caught on camera by Simancas' father, Dell (NYSE:DELL) Simancas, who was also in a kayak. Dell Simancas explained, "I turned on the camera and heard a wave crash behind me, loudly. When I turned, I didn't see anything." He expressed his fear when he couldn't see his son for about three seconds.
His son then emerged from the water without his packraft, which surfaced a second later, followed by the sight of a fin. Adrian Simancas admitted that he thought he was going to die during the ordeal, describing it as "three strange seconds down there." Despite the terrifying experience, both the father and son were unharmed.
