Shocking footage showed a whale leaping out of the water and landing on a boat in Portsmouth Harbor, New Hampshire, on Tuesday morning, capsizing the vessel.

Video taken from a nearby boat showed at least two people on board.

Collin, 16, and Wyatt Yeager, 19, from Maine, were fishing on another boat in the harbor when the whale jumped, capturing the moment on video before rushing to help the stranded boaters, WMTW-TV reported.

The brothers told police that one of them jumped from the boat, while the other was unable to dive but quickly swam to the surface.

Neither man was injured, according to local reports.

The US Coast Guard confirmed that the two crew members were not injured, and the whale appears to have been unharmed in the incident, according to WBTS-TV.
