At first it sounds too fishy to be true, but this story is definitely the real deal.

In an instant his world went black and a frightening, and heroic, struggle for survival began. On 60 MINUTES, Packard gives a gripping account of his miraculous escape from the whale’s mouth. But as Karl Stefanovic finds out, this was not his only brush with death. Michael Packard is no stranger to danger, which means it’s not surprising he is now being called the luckiest man who ever lived.
