Kaikōura Mayor Craig Mackle said that the water was dead calm at the time of the accident and the assumption was that a whale had surfaced from beneath the boat.
Five people died Saturday in New Zealand after the small charter boat they were aboard capsized, authorities say, in what may have been a collision with a whale. Another six people aboard the boat were rescued.
Kaikōura Mayor Craig Mackle told The Associated Press that the water was dead calm at the time of the accident and the assumption was that a whale had surfaced from beneath the boat.He said locals had helped with the rescue efforts throughout the day but the mood in the town was"somber" because the water was so cold and they feared for the outcome of anybody who had fallen overboard.
Vanessa Chapman told Stuff she and a group of friends had watched the rescue efforts unfold from Goose Bay, near Kaikōura. She said that when she arrived at a lookout spot, she could see a person sitting atop an overturned boat waving their arms.
