Update: Whale crashes into sail boat - was it harassed? (story from a different angle).

lauricedeephd writes "The whale that crashed into a sailboat off Cape Town, South Africa this week left more than a giant splash and a floating pile of wreckage in its wake. There are also allegations that the whale was harassed.

The sailors on board the boat told the Today Show they weren't following or otherwise antagonizing the whale. That hasn't stopped South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs from launching an investigation into whether the sailors broke a law by getting too close to the whale.

If you haven't seen the pictures yet, you should check it out. The whale apparently leaped out of the water and crashed into the boat, snapping its mast.
