My question is, what are the fricking seagulls hoping to get?

TD has become like that old movie Faces Of Death..

First we got to see some dude get his skull crushed by a Tahoe in New York, then some street thugs get creamed by a car, now some dude getting eaten by a shark...

Regarded by locals as one of the best kept secrets in Sydney's east, the beach was packed with dozens of swimmers, paddle boaders and rock fishermen at the time.

posted this here before, long story but I'll give thumbnails, was fishing in the Bahamas years ago with some friends, everyone on the boat except me were childhood friends, we took a break from fishing one day to do some diving/spear fishing, one of the guys(a professional diver who owned a diving company in NYC,) surfaced about 100yds. away from the boat and was calling for help, we couldn't make out what he was saying(shark maybe?) two of his lifelong buddies on the boat just froze and I took the life ring and jumped in and went and brought him back to the boat, he ways pretty grateful and I almost drowned while trying to get him back to the boat

Why not just take the boat to him? What was his emergency?

If this was the US, Liberals would be calling to ban sharks.

Nine fatal shark attacks in Australia in 2021. No Australian beach for me.

The diver wasn’t attached by the shark, just saw it and got scared? Correct?

as it turned out, and I was a bit pissed at this because I definitely put myself in harms way, he had rented some shitty gear in the Bahamas and was having problems with the regulator or something and had to surface but didn't want to shed any gear and have to pay for it(he almost pad for it with his and my lives,) so he was having trouble keeping his head above water with all of the scuba gear, including weights, on, water was very choppy, it was windy, and there was quite a strong current, I just wasn't going to sit on the boat and watch somebody drown without at least trying to help him
