Shocking footage has emerged of the terrifying moment two people stood in a tiny dinghy while a six metre great white shark charged them. A film crew shooting the documentary Lair of the Megashark were just off New Zealand's Steward Island when they attempted to put a camera on the dorsal fin of the massive ocean predator who decided to nudge the boat and bite at the thin rope that tethered the dinghy to the main boat. The two men that can be seen on the boat are shark experts Jeff Kurr and Andy Casagrande. They can be seen panicking as the great white uses it's strong jaws and tail to shake the boat, causing it to sway dangerously.

There’s an old joke about a doctor, a priest, a teacher and a lawyer, on a fishing trip...their boat hits a reef, and their life raft drifts away, and they have to swim towards it before the boat sinks. Doctor goes first..swims out, and a huge shark comes up and grabs him. Shaken, but having no choice..the teacher goes next. Same thing..Shark bites him, pulls him under. Lawyer decides to try...swims towards the raft...the shark circles him several times, but doesn’t attack. He reaches the life raft, and yells to the priest to go next. Priest yells back...”how come the shark didn’t grab you?” Lawyer responds “Professional courtesy.”
You play with sharks. You get eaten by sharks. That badnoy would give the Jaws shark a run for hos money. And that boat? It looked like an oversize jet ski. What were they thinking? They almost became shark bait...
They’re gonna need a bigger boat.

“It’s”? ~~sigh~~
hahahahahahahahaha LOL
and they say mankind is smart.
Hence why I stay out of the ocean. Once you are in it you are part of the food chain, just like these morons that go into African Bush or Alaskan wilderness on their extreme camping trips without the appropriate weapon.
“They’re not malicious.”
Hahahahahahaha!
No, but you are delicious.....to them.
From the article, “... one man can be heard saying, “I don’t think this is such a brilliant f###ing idea”.
LOL! Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Yeah, the morning story on this related that the dumbasses were trying to attach a camera to the shark or some similar dumb thing.
Agreed. God gave us brains so we could develop superior firepower for an unfair advantage. The best tactical minds in military history would all agree to never get into a fair fight!!
Why is C19 not accessable ?
They got lucky. If that shark had gotten a real hold on that line, those boys were going on a Nantucket Sleigh Ride.
shark experts. SNORT!
