В январе 2014 года врач из Новой Зеландии пережил страшную встречу с акулой, но его спокойная реакция сделала его героем новостных репортажей по всему миру. Однажды в субботу Джеймс Грант рыбачил с друзьями, когда на него напала акула. Он ничего не увидел, но почувствовал внезапную боль в ноге. Сначала он подумал, что друзья разыгрывают его. Он обернулся, но позади никого не было. Тогда он понял, что произошло. К счастью, у Джеймса был с собой нож, и он использовал его, чтобы отбиться от акулы. Затем он выбрался из воды и осмотрел ногу. Укусы были длиной пять сантиметров и сильно кровоточили. Джеймс очистил рану. Затем он и его друзья пошли в ближайшее кафе! Пока они пили напиток, кто-то дал Джеймсу повязку, потому что нога кровоточила. Он отправился в больницу на лечение, но в понедельник уже вернулся к работе.
