Beachgoers help great white

A great white shark that got stranded on a beach on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod peninsula is swimming free thanks to beachgoers who kept it wet until rescuers arrived. Witnesses say the 2-meter male shark got stuck on Monday near South Beach as the tide went out. Beachgoers kept the shark wet by splashing it with buckets of water until officials attached a line to its rear caudal fin and Harbormaster Stuart Smith pulled it back into open waters. Officials say it took about an hour. Smith said 40 people were crowded around the shark when he arrived.
