AND YOU THINK YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY AT WORK !!
Although this looks like a picture taken from a Hollywood movie, it is in fact a real photo, taken near the South African coast during a military exercise by the British Navy.




The truth...... A photograph circulated on the internet in 2001 showing a shark leaping out of the water to attack a helicopter. The image, which claims to be National Geographic’s “Photo of the Year,” was spliced together from a U.S. Air Force photo taken near San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and a photo of a shark from South Africa. The final edited photo was created by combining a photograph of a HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter taken by Lace Cheung for the United States Air Force, and a photo taken by South African photographer Charles Maxwell.
