Lifeguard Escapes Great White Grab | Amarillo News

A Maine lifeguard had a heart-pounding encounter with a great white shark while swimming with his rescue torpedo—dragged underwater for five to six feet before escaping unharmed. The device later shot skyward, sending beachgoers into a frenzy. Authorities shut down the beach and are monitoring the area as shark sightings surge, fueled by warming waters and abundant prey like seals. Experts say conservation efforts since the 90s have helped rebound populations, and officials urge swimmers to stay alert and report any sightings.
