In 1997 oil rig maintenance diver Don Murphy from Cork in Ireland was welding a cracked steel beam under water on a rig in the North Sea when he saw a baby shark that couldn't see or move because of a work glove covering its head.
Out of concern for the little shark and bravely not considering that there might be other sharks nearby, he dived further down and removed the glove from the baby shark's head enabling it to happily swim away.
An hour later the baby shark came back to Don and swam around him three times as if to say thank you but his welder accidentally burned a hole on the top of its fin so it swam away again.
Seven years later when on holiday, Don was sea swimming off the coast of Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria and suddenly a large dangerous looking shark swam up beside him and circled him.
Don was scared at first but then he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the same hole on the fin that was on the baby shark from his welder in 1997.
The shark then opened its mouth and devoured Don in ten seconds flat.
Don't always expect a happy ending on this page 😂
