A British dad uses a drone to spot a 20-foot shark, saving his family and hundreds of swimmers.
David Alphonoso was photographing wildlife and spotting shark fins, while wife Kirsty, 28, and their two-year-old son, Sonny, were playing near the water.
He made a video call to his wife, Kirsty, to ensure safety, while Kirsty alerted visitors on the beach to evacuate.
David then used his drone to guide lifeguards on jet skiing to the shark.
Lifeguards confirmed it was a great white shark and called a helicopter.
Then the shark alarm sounded and lifeguards shut down Meelup Beach in Western Australia for four hours. "I saw these sharks — probably great white sharks — just about 10 feet from swimmers and only 6 feet from shore. It looks very threatening. David said: "Apparently this shark appears very large in the shallows and it is looking for prey.
