Fearless Beachgoers Come Together To Put A Huge Shark Back Into The Water

There was this couple chilling on Pensacola Beach in Florida, right? Tina and Josh Fey were just minding their business when this huge 10-foot Mako shark suddenly headed straight for the shore. They got in touch with the authorities, but Josh, being the brave guy he is, thought the shark might just need a little push back into the water.

Following a couple of unsuccessful attempts on his own, three additional beachgoers opted to lend a hand.

The agitated mako shark struggled and thrashed. At one point, it threw the rescuers aside.

Eventually, they managed to pull it to deeper water.

After a few moments to recuperate, the shark swam away, and the eyewitnesses gave the three men a standing ovation.

"Thank you to the guys that helped us," Josh told WKRG. "You know, if it wasn't for them, I would not be able to move her. She was every bit of 5 to 600 pounds; I would think. I couldn't budge her; it took four of us to enter into the water. I hope everybody else that comes to beaches and sees a distressed animal like that, you know, with sea turtles or anything like that, that they help them out."
