Breaching orca soaks boaters with perfectly timed cannonball
Video footage captured Tuesday off Chile shows a large orca breaching almost clear of the water just yards from boaters and drenching them upon splashdown.
An orca cannonball, masterfully executed.
The footage was captured in the Gulf of Corcovado, which separates Chile’s mainland from Chiloe Island. About midway through the 25-second clip the orca launches its massive body and appears to intentionally splash the crew.

The clip was uploaded to Facebook by Club de Emergencies Decima Region. A spokesman told For The Win Outdoors that the footage was passed along by somebody else and he could not reveal details other than the date and location.
