For most people, their worst nightmare would be lounging in the ocean and then a shark attack happens. Few would actually even live to tell the tale anyway. But for 61-year-old Australian windsurfer Andy McDonald, after a 9-foot great white attacked him and he somehow fought it off, he just shrugged it off and said he’ll be back surfing soon because “lightning doesn’t strike twice at the same place.”
Oddly, attacks by predators in the ocean are not as fatal as Steven Spielberg’s Jaws suggested. In fact, just recently there was a man who was swallowed by a whale while kayaking — only for the whale to spit him out immediately after, and the entire thing was caught on video. And it wasn’t that much different from the particular conundrum McDonald found himself in.
