Those silly Brits...

Tourist Mark, 32, was sure he was going to die as the huge Great White shark attacked a metal cage he was dangling in.

The boat was equipped with a cage which was dropped into the water to chest height.

Mark said: “The crew had slung a tuna head over the side to attract sharks.

“I was on the boat with other tourists and two girls were in the cage watching smaller sharks about 6ft long.

“Then out of nowhere came this massive creature, a Great White. It was only a couple of feet smaller than the boat and everyone gasped. I thought, ‘Jesus Christ, look at that!’.”

The girls screamed and were taken out of the cage but, despite the danger, Mark couldn’t resist climbing IN.

Can you imagine the mess in his wetsuit? U:

Sounds like that story a year or so ago where the Aussies were petting Great Whites feeding off of whale carcasses. Some people have no fear of things they should be afraid of.

I remember that. What a bunch of dolts.

Let's see: Captain of boat, responsible for the safety of all. Reports of Great White Shark in the area, which recently dined on a 77-year-old woman. Captain decides to go to the same area to shark-spot, and drops the cage and the bait over the side.

That's the number 2 stupid one in this story. Mark still has it as number 1 stupid, though. "Oh, a Great White! Think I'll hop in and join him!"

And the NEWSPAPER was dumb enough to call it a heroic escape!
