I admire this man em, not only did he protect the children, but he was concerned for the shark and wanted to save it by putting it back in deeper water. A hero all round in my eyes.

some seem to think not, see comments at the bottom of the page. His name was a good match.. Mr Marshalsea..

mamy, same one?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes but the video seems to add some context.

[emmie]

ok,

[chaptazbru]

Hope it wasn't sick, it had two offspring with it.

[emmie]

the shark, didn't see that?

[chaptazbru]

Read it on Mail Online.

[emmie]

it doesn't say that in my DM, nor that i can see in the footage, still hope that all is well with shark and it's offspring if so.

Ah a Brit, that explains it. An Aussie would have dragged it out and slung it on the barbie with is left hand whist holding tight to his tinnie with his left.

[emmie]

so he would have, lol
