Part 3/9:
One particularly harrowing event occurred on October 31, 2023, involving a Polish yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar, where the orcas engaged in a relentless 45-minute attack, specifically ramming the vessel's rudder until it sank. Other vessels reported similar episodes, with orcas displaying a focus on destroying rudders rather than simply targeting the hulls. This behavior raised urgent safety concerns given the risk to human life.
