Andy Zofka and his wife had set up their cameras on the seawall at Stanley Park in Vancouver on Monday evening, hoping to admire nature and maybe get a glimpse of a pod of orcas or the grey whale that had been seen feeding nearby. But screams preceded the horrible experience that came next, when a man on a Sea-Doo sped into view and slammed into the grey whale just after it had surfaced, sending the watercraft airborne in a crash that Zofka blamed on irresponsibility and ignorance.
