Teen kayaker says shark attack was like everything in ‘Jaws’
ADELAIDE, Australia — A massive great white shark was thrashing in the water on top of an upended kayak. But an Australian dad couldn’t see his daughter.
In a matter of seconds, 15-year-old Sarah Williams surfaced and was rescued by her father and brother from the shark attack she says was “everything you picture in the ‘Jaws’ movie.”
The 4.5-meter (15-foot) shark struck from beneath the kayak, tossing Sarah into the water Sunday off the coast near Normanville in South Australia state.
“I saw it when I was in the water with it. I saw what it was and I saw its fin,” she told Nine Network television on Monday.
