I hate the fear mongering that pervades when the media talk about sharks.

Well, they are apex predators, anything in the water is potential food, plenty of deaths and severely mauled beach goers to support this.
No matter how the media play it, he is a very lucky man to have had such a close encounter and come away completely unscathed.
Watching the video a few times, I don't think the shark was as big as they are tyring to make out with the screen shot. That is the rear fin (caudal fin) and not the dorsal fin.
