2 Australians plucked from ocean as sharks circle
SYDNEY - Two men were plucked from the ocean Friday as sharks circled after being spotted by a television helicopter in a dramatic rescue involving five aircraft and five boats. It came after three men failed to return Thursday after setting out in a fishing boat from Leeman, 270 kilometres (170 miles) north of Perth, sparking a search that covered 320 square kilometres (125 square miles) of ocean. One of the men later died after being taken ashore, while the other man was being treated for unspecified injuries, West Australian police said. The third man remains missing. “We haven’t spoken to the survivor yet and until then we don’t know what happened,” a police spokesman said. A helicopter for Channel Seven television spotted one of the men first, with the reporter on board, Grant Taylor, dramatically relaying the action as it happened. “When we first spotted him, one of the scariest things was there was a massive hammerhead shark not 20 metres (yards) away from him, just slowly circling around him,” he told ABC radio.
