In a dangerous move that could have gone bad in a matter of seconds, a group of people in Florida saved a massive beached shark last week when they pulled it back into coastal waters.
The act of kindness, captured on video, took place Thursday in Pensacola along the Sunshine State's Gulf Coast.
Watch the video below to see the good Samaritans pull the beached shark back into the ocean.
The start of the video shows a large mako shark − which appears to be at least 12 feet long with jagged, razor-sharp teeth −on its side thrashing in shallow water along the beach with several people standing behind it.
A school of 12-inch sharks were able to sink an inflatable 29-foot catamaran in the Coral Sea
Together, the group all knee deep in water, grab the shark's tail and attempt to drag it back into the sea as the fish faces land.
"Babe, it's too dangerous, don't be doing that," a woman is heard saying in the video.
The shark is then seen thrashing about and the men back off for a period.

At some point, the group gets the shark's snout pointed back toward the ocean and it eventually begins to swim away.
A crowd of people on the beach are then heard cheering as the large fish heads out to sea.
