So a brother and sister claim he got swallowed by a whale and spit out seconds later and we just obviously believe them? Can someone shed more light on what evidence there is or any eyewitnesses attesting that this actually happened and that it isn't a prank by a couple of siblings reliving father Geppetto?
Well, the article says that EMS transported him to the hospital, so it would seem likely that he had something happen to him, or if he'd been completely uninjured it would have raised red-flags either on scene, or later at the hospital. Beyond that, whether or not the event unfolded exactly as he described or not is something that probably only he (and the whale) will ever really know.
I mean he does mention he didn't feel any teeth while inside and that's how he knew it wasn't a shark. So what wounds or physical signs would anyone expect to see in the hospital from being in a cushy whale mouth?
It seems pretty unlikely to me, given that he said he’s lost multiple friends to great white sharks while he lived on the west coast. There are maybe 2-3 shark attack deaths per decade on the west coast, spread across a huge area. I have a hard time believing he was friends with multiple of them, and was in the described plane crash, and was gobbled by a whale.
