This morning, a terrifying close encounter between a great white shark
and some unsuspecting Children swimming off the coast of southern
California. Watches drone video shows that 10 ft shark waiting extremely
close to multiple young swimmers who seem completely unaware that the
predator is just feet away. One of them even waves at the drone as the shark
draws closer. I don't normally get really excited or really nervous
because I've seen it play over and over. But when it involves young
adults, kids, I do get nervous. And this shark was a lot bigger than those
kids. Carlos Ghana documents shark behavior, and he was controlling that
drone from more than a mile away. This shark has a tendency to get close to
people. But on this day, it really made me nervous. My heart was pounding. And
this is just one of several recent shark sightings along the California
coast. Last month, this chilling video of a shark following behind a surfer
near Santa Cruz in Santa Monica, a shark approaching a pair of paddle
boarders. I saw all of this flash. That was a scary moment. As soon as I saw
the shark, I just started telling Kayla like, I'm not gonna tell you what I saw.
Just go back to shore. It felt like it was two ft away from me, and it felt
like we stared at each other for a second. Earlier this year, Big River
Beach for a male. This northern California surfer was the victim of a
when I just started kind of pushing it and batting it on the nose, trying to
free myself from it. Um, and then eventually let go. Sharks are popping
up in the east to some New York and New Jersey beaches have been closing during
sightings. This hammerhead spotted off Long Island and a massive 14 ft Great
White off the coast of North Carolina. Warming water pushes bait closer to
and that date then bring sharks closer to shore where people are, and it may
be possible that people are counting their sharks more often than they
normally would. That doesn't necessarily mean there's greater risk of being
bitten. Now, the drone operator in this most recent encounter said that shark
had what appeared to be an injury from a boat collision that could be
contributing to its behavior. Why it was swimming defensively. Thankfully,
it did turn away into the water and left the kids alone. But crazy,
especially when they had no idea they were so white and image. Yeah, jaw
dropping video. Okay, Trevor. Good to have you here in studio.
