00:00There was a couple enjoying the view from their Florida vacation condo, and they captured video of an oblivious swimmer being circled by a shark.
00:14Oh my. The ocean.
00:16Stan Battles said he was on the 28th floor balcony of a vacation condo in Panama City Beach when he noticed a shark.
00:24So there's the guy swimming.
00:25I can't even.
00:26You can't see the guy.
00:28I can see the guy swimming.
00:30I can't see the shark.
00:31The shark hasn't come into the.
00:32Okay.
00:33Where is it?
00:34It's remember, they're 28 floors up filming.
00:37Is that it right there?
00:38Okay.
00:38There's the shark that's coming in.
00:42And then the shark decides to get a little closer to the swimmer.
00:49I guess someone eventually notices the shark.
00:53I think the video is first.
00:54Yeah.
00:55Oh, there we go.
00:55Bolt it and just stop right there and look at each other.
00:58So you can hear, I think, people down on the beach now are trying to scream to the swimmer.
01:03They're hollering short.
01:06They're trying to let him know there's a shark.
01:08I'm laying on my back just swimming.
01:10Yeah, this guy's just floating on his back.
01:11Oh, no one else out there.
01:12His ears are underwater.
01:13And the shark is coming.
01:15Oh, here it comes.
01:15Right for him.
01:16Get him.
01:18Dude.
01:20No, thank you.
01:22No.
01:22Why would you ever swim that deep in the ocean?
01:24Why would you ever go out deep in the ocean?
01:27I'll never go in the ocean again, I don't think.
01:28You're done, huh?
01:30Yeah.
01:31All right.
01:31You're not done?
01:32Well, I've been done.
01:34I know you've been done.
01:35I have done.
01:35Did you hear about the guy who just got in Maui that just died?
01:38No, I didn't.
01:40Dave, did you hear about it?
01:41Yeah, you heard about it.
01:42What bit him into?
01:43I thought about you.
01:43Yeah, what snapped him up?
01:47Big shark?
01:47Big shark.
01:48Oh, got him.
01:49Took a big old bite.
01:50Ate his limb and then he died.
01:51Yeah, yeah.
01:52A guy on vacation.
01:53Was he the leg guy?
01:55Yeah.
01:56Oh.
01:57Sucks.
01:58No, I know that attacks aren't up or anything, but sharks are coming into areas more
02:03and more.
02:05Like something, the temperature's changing.
02:07The temperature's changing.
02:08It's messing.
02:09And just the currents are changing.
02:12Yeah.
02:13The odds are one in 12 million.
02:15You'll be attacked by a shark.
02:17Yeah.
02:17Fatal attacks more so.
02:18Yeah, that guy read that stat before he went into Maui and got in the water.
02:22Yeah, nothing to worry about.
02:23Oh, my leg!
02:25My leg is completely gone!
02:27I want to swim!
02:28I was one in 12 million, apparently!
02:31I win!
02:32My leg is gone below the knee!
02:38Shark looked at me as it swolled my foot.
02:40And I always think like, okay, so you keep being that's one in 12 million, and it's like,
02:44who's telling you that?
02:45Yeah.
02:45The Board of Tourism of Hawaii.
02:48Please.
02:49Director of the Marine Conservation Science Institute.
02:51I don't believe him either.
02:52Yeah.
02:54See, I don't do a ton of swimming in the ocean.
02:56Yeah.
02:56I do a ton of swimming in pools.
02:58I love pools.
02:58Yeah, I like pools.
02:59But I like walking through the water and stuff.
03:01And maybe I'll go on a little, you know, do a little boogie boarding with my kids next
03:05to shore, right?
03:06Yep.
03:07Yeah.
03:09No, I get it.
03:10It's their body of water.
03:12We shouldn't be climbing large mountains either.
03:14You'll never catch me doing that.
03:16I don't know what I saw, if it was like a commercial or whatever it is, and it talks
03:20about that, that humans are the only animals that intentionally do things that can kill
03:28them for the joy of it, for the excitement of it.
03:34Like, no deer runs through like a thing full of wolves.
03:40Right.
03:40You know, just like, this is going to be it.
03:41They might get me, but I'm pretty sick.
