An Australian family took part in ‘Shark Week’ whether they wanted to or not.
A relaxing day on the ocean turned into a terror-filled hour as a great white shark circled and repeatedly rammed their boat.
David Tuckfield, his wife Kunya, and their son Shelby, 14, were fishing off the coast of Mandurah, Australia when the big, 14-foot great white came up and began thrashing about, striking the boat even chomping on the boat’s engine a few times for good measure.
David said, “We had a big visitor from the deep come up, nice size … white pointer. He tried to take a chunk out of the motor, we were mesmerized.”
So is the rest of the world as the footage of the terrifying incident has since gone viral.
