Over 80 Injured as High-Speed Hydrofoil Ferry Hits Whale in Japan

More than 80 passengers were reported injured, several seriously, after a hydrofoil ferry apparently struck a whale while underway in the Sea of Japan on Saturday.

The high-speed hydrofoil, named Ginga, was underway from Niigata, Japan to Sado Island when the vessel struck what the ferry operator said appears to be “marine life”.

The impact was strong enough to send passengers flying into seats in front of them....

Those wacky Japanese, is there no length they will go to to hide their whale hunting?

Yes, I notice there is no information as to how the whale fared.
