What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA fisherman swam about a mile to shore near Cambria, California, after something struck his kayak from below.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, so it's a suspected shark. A shark lab director looked at photos of the damage and said it's reasonable to assume that.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFire officials say a shark has not been definitively confirmed. He climbed back aboard, but the hull was punctured and filling with water.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRoll it. File footage, not his video. Look at this fin by the metal frame, and nobody on that boat is leaving.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWatch the white water churn there. A shadow moves under the surface.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRun it back. The shark passes right by the metal frame, and the frame holds up better than the kayak did.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorViral Score, nine. One point for every hundred yards he swam, and the last two hundred went to his dignity.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFirefighters then launched a rescue boat, for the kayak. The man had already finished the trip himself.
