VIDEO: Boat nearly capsizes in Mission Bay as massive waves roar

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:27:22 GMT

SAN DIEGO — A whale watching boat appeared to nearly capsize near Mission Bay on Thursday as it dodged abnormally large waves rocking the vessel.A video of the boat, which was captured by an onlooker on the other side of the Mission Bay Jetty sign, was obtained by FOX 5 and can be viewed in the player below. It appeared to be coming into the channel as the choppy waters tipped the vessel from side to side. Similar videos of the boat nearly turning over while it dodged waves pulling into the channel were posted to Instagram on Friday. No injuries were reported to anyone on board.This incident came at an interesting time for boaters: rare orca sightings in Southern California have had people flocking to whale watching tours for a chance to spot one of the creatures while large waves — anywhere from eight to 12 feet — have pounded the region's coast.San Diego was put under a high surf warning and coastal flood advisory earlier this week.

So how do we do that? GUEST: Jim Stanford, Economist and Director of the Centre for Future WorkYou can subscribe to The Big Story podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google and Spotify.You can also find it at thebigstorypodcast.ca.
