First of all the boaters are just fine, and I'm sure the 40-ton humpback whale is, too. Now, let's head to the beach town of Rye, just an hour north of Boston.

According to the Boston Globe Media website, a whale breaching our Atlantic Ocean waters along the New Hampshire seacoast literally landed on a 23-foot fishing boat, tossing the people into the water. The attached video was captured by a teen in a nearby boat named Wyatt Yager, and wow what a capture it was.

The two teens in a very nearby fishing boat, including Wyatt, who witnessed the whale leaping out of the water and landing on the stern of the 23-footer are being called good samaritans for immediately rescuing Greg Paquette and Ryland Kenney.

19-year-old Wyatt was with his 16-year-old brother, Colin who was driving.

It was very chaotic, it all happened so fast. It was a very unique experience, and I hope it never happens again. Just complete shock, so I just dropped everything and just started driving over to them. They swam around to the back and climbed up the ladder.
Meanwhile, Greg and Ryland are doing fine as I mentioned. According to WHDH Boston Greg ended up under the boat, luckily with a life jacket that had just inflated when he swam out from under his boat.

I’ll tell you, we were lucky, we were really lucky. I was probably about 3 feet from the whale’s head, and I saw him come up and open his mouth, I think that’s when I was like ‘whoa’ and his mouth closed and it crunched the engine.

Here's the video captured by Wyatt.
