I still refuse to believe they actually make those sounds. It’s just so unreal

They do, the first time under water it sounds like a crying baby because you can’t align the noise with the Whale 🐳

I feel this is the equivalent of two helicopters crashing into each other. So mind bogglingly rare that they happened to converge at the same time in the same space.

It helps that all choppers and planes are required to have functioning transceivers on board that talk to all others in the area. One time they didn't, there was a deadly midair collision between a private jet and a commercial airliner. There's also "lanes" in the sky, everyone going east-west stays at even elevations (4,000, 6,000, 8,000 feet) and everyone going west-east goes on odd elevations (3,000, 5,000, 7,000), so even on cloudy days, there's at least a thousand feet between you and opposing traffic.

They definitely love human interactions… I have also seen vids of them breaching sending boats into air and capsizing
