Killer Whales Chase Boat Off San Diego Coast (VIDEO)

A fishermen's boat was chased by a pod of about 30 killer whales in the San Diego Bay last Thursday. The fishermen posted a video of the incident on YouTube showing the orcas surrounding the boat in pursuit as the fishermen tried to flee to the shore, according to The Huffington Post.

The men's encounter with the wild killer whales took place approximately "file miles off Point Loma," in San Diego, reads the video's description, adding that the whales ranged from young to old.

At the 1:20 mark of the video, which has garnered more than 400,000 views on YouTube, you can see an orca leaping out of the water and coming dangerously close to the boat, KTLA reported.

"You better go. He's right under us still! He's right there! Go go go," one of them can be heard shouting.

The two fishermen on board the vessel also managed to get several shots of the killer whales as they swam under water alongside the boat.
