Speaking to CBS Boston, Packard said he thought he was done for.
"I realized, 'Oh my god, I'm in a whale's mouth. I'm in a whale's mouth. And he's trying to swallow me," Packard said. "And I thought to myself, 'Okay, this is it. This is finally — I'm gonna die."
After 30 seconds trapped inside, Packard said the whale surfaced, shook its head and spat him back out. He was bruised up, according to CBS, and left the hospital with a limp.
