A Biblical Event
Unsurprisingly, Michael’s shocking encounter with the whale led many people to draw comparisons with a bible story. In the famous story, the biblical character Jonah was also said to have been swallowed by a whale.
Aside from “soft tissue damage,” Michael suffered no broken bones or other severe injuries. Whether his luck was divine or not, his plane crash marked the second time that Michael Packard had been involved in an extraordinary accident and lived to tell the tale.
