Man vomitted alive by a Whale after surviving a plane crash!

A lobster fisherman survived the worst kind of fluke encounter last Friday, when he was briefly scooped up into the mouth of a humpback whale while diving off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass.

Michael Packard, 56, says he was “very bruised up” after the incident, though he’s quite happy to be the one that got away.

Packard was diving near Provincetown, Mass., on Friday morning when the whale snuck up on him in about 13.7 metres (45 feet) of water.

“I just felt this truck hit me and everything went dark,” he told NBC 10 in Boston.

He initially thought he’d been devoured by a great white shark, but he soon realized that he was still in one piece and that he was not surrounded by teeth.

“I said, ‘Oh my God, I’m in the mouth of a whale,'” he recalled. “‘This is how you’re gonna die.'”

It’s unclear if he actually spoke those words while inside the whale’s watery mouth, but he did drop the regulator on his oxygen tank. Packard says he scrambled around in the darkness and recovered the regulator by chance. He popped the regulator back into his own mouth and used the oxygen tank to avoid drowning inside the belly of the behemoth.

Packard’s crewmate, Josiah Mayo, was sitting in a boat on the surface when he noticed the commotion down below.

“It was just a huge splash and kind of thrashing around,” he said.

Packard says he didn’t think he’d be able to fight his way out of the whale, and he was just beginning to think about death when he saw light.

After 30 to 40 seconds, the whale was spitting him out.

“I was just laying on the surface floating and saw his tail and he went back down, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I got out of that, I survived,'” he said. “I couldn’t believe I got out of that.”

Packard says this isn’t the first time he’s had a near-death experience. He also survived a plane crash in Costa Rica that killed several others 10 years ago.

“In Costa Rica, they call me Milagro Mike,” he told NBC 10. That nickname translates to “Miracle Mike.”

Now he says he has another nickname — one inspired by his Biblical brush with a whale.

“Many people are calling me Jonah,” he said  on Reddit.
