Title: Video Captures Moment Great White Shark Breaks Open Cage With Diver Inside
Post by: SZonian on October 14, 2016, 04:42:07 pm: A California man has captured on video the terrifying moment a great white shark breaks open and enters a shark cage with a diver inside.

The man shot the video last week off the coast of Mexico's Guadalupe Island.

"On a recent great white shark cage diving trip we experienced a very rare event, a shark breaching the side of the cage," the man, who asked that his name not be used, wrote on YouTube, where he posted the video. "What might appear to be an aggressive great white shark trying to attack the cage, this is not the case."

Well, in his defense he didn't get in the cage WITH the shark. The shark decided to get in the cage WITH him.

You know some days you hug the bear and some days the bear hugs you:

Treadwell was just trying to demonstrate to the general public just how gentle bears really are.

He succeed.
