Video: Drone films 'clueless' man swimming too close to hammerhead shark, netizens shocked

A man in Miami, Florida, recently came close to danger and the video of the incident has taken the internet by storm. Shared on Instagram, the drone footage revealed how the man was swimming above a full-grown hammerhead shark. The clip was posted by user Jason McIntosh and since shared it has left netizens equally terrified and fascinated. 

The clip opens with a shark swimming in the shallow waters off the coast of Miami, US. The deadly hammerhead shark can be seen turning, swimming and taking a leisurely stroll. As the drone follows that shark’s movement, a man appears in the frame, floating on the water. The man seems completely unaware about the deadly beast swimming nearby and at one point he even is right above the shark. While the man above can be seen smiling, the shark underwater can be seen swimming freely.
