NBC8 filmed crazy footage from the North Shore of Oahu of just how fast a shark gets going when it’s after something. The Blacktip ignored to surfers in the water to go after the fish, which is something shark expert Randy Honebrink says they usually do, according to a story on KHNL.com.
Analyzing the video, Honebrink says the shark is probably a Blacktip. . . “It’s definitely not a tiger shark,” he said. . . Tiger sharks are larger and more dangerous than a Blacktip. . . “I can’t think of a single case where there’s been a confirmed Blacktip bite on a person in Hawaii,” said Honebrink.
Check out the video and you’ll see what raw acceleration looks like. We’re just sitting ducks. . .
