The video is short but terrifying. One moment, Fanning is paddling, the next he’s vanished beneath the waves. What follows has viewers gasping – a shark thrashes where Fanning was seconds ago. But this story has a miraculous twist. He emerges, fights the shark off, and escapes unharmed.
The comments are flooded with shock and awe. “I would have died of a heart attack,” writes one viewer. “He’s got the right to never compete again,” says another. Many joke that only an Aussie could survive this.
