MOSSEL BAY, S. Africa — In the words of “Jaws” scientist Matt Hooper, “This is not a boat accident!”
According to the Cape Times, six researchers from South Africa are reflecting on what they describe as the fright of their lives after their own close encounter with a great white shark.
The research team from Oceans Research was working off Seal Island, near Mossel Bay, on South Africa’s Cape coast, when the nearly 10-foot-long creature reportedly made its move.
Team leader Dorien Schroder told the newspaper that following more than an hour of shark activity around their boat, the Cheetah, the waters at the stern fell quiet.
“Next thing, I hear a splash and see a great white breach out of the water from one side of the boat hovering, literally, over a crew member chumming on the port side,” she reportedly said.
According to Schroder, the shark landed with half its body in the boat, but in a panic, thrashed its way further onto the vessel, cutting fuel lines and damaging equipment.
As the team scampered toward a safer portion of the boat, the shark reportedly became stuck.
Shark scientist Ryan Johnson and Oceans Research co-director Enrico Gennari raced to the scene to help the stricken boat, but despite their assistance, initial attempts to remove the beast reportedly failed.With more boats now in the fight, the group reportedly tried to yank the shark off the Cheetah by tying a rope from another vessel around the shark’s tail, but the beast didn’t budge.

The video was pictures of a shark in a boat. Not a video of the shark jumping in the boat. If the news agencies that ran this story think it’s real, then I have a recent photo of Elvis, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Hoffa, Bigfoot, Lochness Monster, and the Mothman on a flying saucer with extraterrestrials from a parallel dimension in the future. Anyone can take a photo of a shark in a boat, after it was captured and claim it jumped in the boat. Like P.T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”.
