In a terrifying moment captured on camera, the crew of a luxury yacht feared for their lives after a pod of 30 killer whales attacked their boat.
Martin Evans, 45, and Nathan Jones, 27, were part of a three-man crew delivering the British vessel from Ramsgate, Kent, to Greece.
Footage of the terrifying moment shows several 25 feet whales swimming alongside the yacht before appearing to dive underneath it as the entire episode continued for two hours and ended after one munched on the rudder, and swam off with a chunk in its mouth.
