This happens more often than you might think. I know someone with a sailboat who was below deck for a few minutes out on the open ocean when they felt a thud. They went up and saw a dying whale that they had just struck. They felt horrible, but there was nothing they could do at that point.
A ship this big certainly couldn't have avoided the whale.
I have a feeling that whales are hit all the time, but nobody talks about it. When it's impaled like this, it's hard to hide it.
