Veteran lifeguard, 71, dragged underwater off the coast of Maine by great white shark

A 71-year-old lifeguard and park manager in Maine had an encounter with a great white shark off the coast over the weekend. He initially thought his rescue can got caught on a boat after he was dragged underwater.

But it wasn’t a boat. Greg Wilfert, who has worked at Scarborough Beach for 55 years and looks like a guy who should have his own reality show, was pulled five to six feet under the water by a great white.

He was swimming around the buoys at the time with a few other lifeguards.
