Some experts find the whale from a Michael Packard lobster tale about being chewed and spat out by a humpback whale hard to swallow, through The New York Post.

In case you didn’t know, Packard claimed last week that he was nearly swallowed by a humpback whale while diving for lobsters off the Cape Cod coast, but that he had suffered only knee dislocation and soft tissue damage after being coughed up.

“This is how you’re going to die. In the mouth of a whale ”, Packard recalled. “I was just struggling but I knew it was this massive creature, there was no way I was going to get out of it. Then I was just laying on the floating surface and saw his tail and he came back down, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I made it out, I survived.’ “

If it really happened …

“People who are in the fishing industry and people who know whales find it hard to believe,” a Massachusetts lobster who has been fishing the area for 44 years. Told The post office. “This is a first for this to happen. It doesn’t make sense for a guy to be in the middle of this giant school of fish surrounded by a whale.

An anonymous emergency doctor at the Cape Cod hospital where Packard was treated also found it hard to believe that the 57-year-old was not injured by the sudden change in water pressure that took hold. would be produced if the story was on the sea level. “He would have ascended from a depth of 45 feet in 20 to 40 seconds and had no evidence of barotrauma?” asked the emergency doctor.

The post office isn’t the only outlet that has discovered people who don’t get tricked into believing Packard’s fish story as noon-to-noon callers. Boston radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub threw in cold water on the aquatic account.

Listeners at another Boston radio station are also not buying the Packard story, according to a poll posted on Twitter by morning show host Greg Hill.

While we don’t know what to make of Packard’s story, perhaps we should give him some credit, because another sensational story he told about surviving a plane crash in Costa Rica. who killed three other people checks, according to this Associated press room. “In Costa Rica, they call me Milagro Mike. Now I’m twice here, ” he said.

Until more evidence emerges, we assume we’ll let him get away with it.
