An unknown number of orcas have sunk a sailing yacht after ramming it in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain’s maritime rescue service said on Monday, a new attack in what has become a trend in the past four years.

Orcas are normally docile towards humans. They felt like they had a reason to sink that ship.
The world could do with fewer yachts anyways.
Scuba divers in the West Coast of BC are trained to be aware of sharks in the water but if an orca is spotted you get the fuck out of the water.
Why? I haven’t even heard of attacks on humans other than from orcas in captivity
nature is fighting back
Go whales!
Can’t Elon or some other millionaire/billionaire be onboard for the next ones?? Too much to ask?
There's a similar account from the 6th century CE Roman Empire: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyrios_(whale)
Could be a whale, or a large orca. The story goes that it was a single creature, but I think a series of Orca attacks that got attributed to a single creature fits the evidence as easily.

Orcas are one step closer to eating the rich as we all wish
