Stunning video of two brothers saving a shark’s life

JOE

Two brothers bravely risked their own safety in order to save a shark’s life.

Just days after a Fox News (w)anchor suggested that the ocean should be cleared of all sharks so they’re no longer a threat to humans, these two heroes went to dangerous lengths to rescue one.

The hammerhead shark was in clear distress on the Destin, Florida shoreline and the two brothers quickly noticed something was wrong. One of them braved the waters to approach the creature.

It soon became evident that the 10ft shark had several sea fishing hooks lodged deep in its mouth and was tangled in steel fishing line. Remarkably, the brothers dragged it to shore to save its life.

As you can see, the shark was in deep distress during the rescue but the two brave siblings somehow managed to distangle the line and free it from the fishing hooks.

It goes without saying, but do not try this for yourself.
