Seaplane almost lands on whale

Wise men say to look before you leap. In Alaska, it's advisable to look before you land.

That's because, in Alaska, where seaplanes are common, you just might land on a whale.

Last week in tiny, remote Angoon, Thomas Hamm was shooting video of a seaplane coming in for a landing.
It was a mundane scene in the island community that's only accessible by boat or seaplane.

The video starts out normal. But as the plane lowers, it's clear something is different about this approach.
