Several swimmers in Pensacola Beach, Florida, rescued a massive shark that washed up on the shore last week.

“After a few seconds of seeing it struggle to get back in the water, my husband took charge to try to help it,” the woman told Storyful.

The video depicted the men grabbing the tail fin of the shark and pulling it toward the water. The shark seemed irritated, as it was thrashing around and even threw the rescuers to the side.

According to the woman, the group of men eventually managed to return the shark to deeper water. After a few moments, it swam away and observers gave the rescuers a standing ovation.
