Orcas Undeterred by Heavy Metal Music, Still Attack Boats

A crew tried to deter orcas from attacking their boat by blasting heavy metal music underwater.

It didn’t work. The orcas pummeled the boat’s rudder, making it impossible to steerhttps://t.co/hafOOrmw8L

• Sailors, being aware of the Orca Assault Coalition sweeping (swimming?) the globe, they decided to try and deter them with metal music.
• And they used a special playlist you can find here.
• The orcas then went for the jugular rudder of the ship making it impossible for the sailors to steer.
• Scientists also went “Hey, not a great idea, as they will eventually realize that the clash of noise is coming from a boat, and will work to shut it down.”
• The sailors were rescued, and White Gladis was unavailable for comment.
