Honestly, have you ever seen this before?

This footage was taken off the coast of North Carolina last fall — Cape Lookout National Seashore, to be exact — and according to its source (Donnie Griggs) the almost-incalculable numbers of sharks seen were attracted by the promise of tasty blue fish that just so happened to be congregated there at the right time (or the wrong time for the blue fish).

As you’ll see in the video, the mad dash for the prize leaves some of the sharks beached on the wet sand, struggling to get back into the deep blue beyond. At many points, it looks in no way safe even for the beachgoers taking it all in just yards away from the hungry, hungry sharks.
