    I hate “people” as a group, but people as a person are usualy great. This is a great example of the latter and a reminder that despite all the news about “people”, there are still individual persons out there doing good things.

    I think it’s admirable we find heart even for ‘predators of the deep’. Though, I feel like that was still super dangerous… like if it was hurt and accidentally hurt it trying to move it and it thrashes a tail or that massive head full of teeth… humans aren’t exactly agile in standing water like that.

    Ofc, the desire to help internally is still there. I feel like I would have made a call to the coast guard to pull it out to sea more.

    I don’t live there though, just working through the mental checklist of “what would I do”

      Sounds like they used rakes to create a deeper channel for the shark to swim in. That should be possible to do while not getting too close to the shark in general.
