Killer whales spotted in Vancouver's Coal Harbour a sign of return to balanced ecosystem, expert says
CBC
Robert Johnson's shift was almost over at Vancouver's seaplane terminal in Coal Harbour when he saw something he's never seen before.
"All of a sudden there were these massive black creatures underneath the plane's nose," Johnson told CBC News.
Two orca whales breached the surface right next to the terminal pier on Saturday at around 5:30 p.m. and Johnson took out his phone and caught the whole thing on camera.
"It's surreal to see that kind of amazing majesty. That was the largest creature I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe things like that live. It's crazy," he said.
Johnson has worked at the terminal for three years and said it was the first time he's seen whales while on the job.
