VIDEO: Five killed after Canada whale-watch boat sinks

A massive search for survivors has ended off Canada’s Vancouver Island after a whale-watching boat with 27 people on board sank, killing five people.

The 20-metre Leviathan II, operated by Jamie’s Whaling Station, made a mayday call late on Sunday afternoon, local time, on a clear and sunny day in the tourist community that is a popular destination for whale watchers on the country’s west coast.
