Not So Nice Bumping Into You...


So apparently there's this aquarium in Beijing called Shanghai Changfeng Park where you can swim with all kinds of sea life, including sharks... I think I'd sit that one out... but not the 26-year-old French-Chinese man who swam onto the tooth of a shark while diving in the aquarium yesterday!

The incident occured when the French-Chinese man was trying to ascend to the water's surface without the permission of the diving coach. Usually the coach will lead divers to ascend only when there is no shark passing by (duh). The bump onto the tooth left the man with two small wounds to the right ear and the head. He was pulled out of the water immediately and sent to the hospital. Fortunately, due to the water pressure, he didn't bleed in the aquarium, which could've caused a feeding frenzy.
