Scott Welsh, a 40-year-old New Zealander, is passionate about fishing. He also passed this passion on to his 12-year-old son Rico. The two, along with Krunar, the boy’s uncle, go fishing whenever they get the chance. They were in various exotic locations, where they caught all kinds of rare fish.
The three planned their next fishing trip. They decided to go on a motorboat in the ocean.
Having prepared everything they needed, they set off in the morning by boat towards the south coast, where they hoped to catch good fish.
After a few hours, all three of them had already caught a lot of fish and Rico, the 12 year old kid, was very excited. The weather was starting to deteriorate and a fairly strong wind was blowing from the west.
Being far from the shore, the men decided to return home.
Scott drove the boat with Krunar, and Rico stayed on deck to admire the scenery. A large wave hit the boat, which shook violently. At that moment, Rico fell overboard into the ocean.
Scott and Krunar did not realize the boy had fallen, so they continued to move the boat away from the boy who fell into the water.
After 5 minutes, Scott realized that Rico was missing and immediately returned the boat. He could see Rico in the water from far away.
When they reached it, the boy could no longer stay afloat because of the waves and sank.
As he was about to jump into the water, Scott and Krunar witnessed an astonishing scene. A family of killer whales swam around Rico.
Where one of the whales sank and pushed the boy with its snout near the boat, so Scott could grab the boy by the hand.
Both men, as well as Rico, were shocked. A killer whale saved the 12-year-old boy.
“When I saw the killer whales, I was very scared and I feared for Rico’s life. I was going to jump into the water to help my son, even if it meant dying myself. I can’t forget the image of that whale that pushed Rico very carefully with its huge snout. It was a unique experience that we will never forget. »
