I received this via email the other day....

Reported to have been taken taken on Friday on the Hibernia platform.

One of the Rov's was malfunctioning and the boys didn't know was causing the malfunction so they pulled the ROV up this is what they found.....

That's one way to fish ... but one hell of an expensive shark lure.

Looks like form the picture it jammed its head in and got trapped. Sharks can sense electric currents of their prey so it sensed the electrical field of the ROV and well swam in to it and got stuck.

Yeah it probably drowned :lol: (or suffocated) from getting stuck, if waster isn't passing over the gills it doesn't get any oxygen and that's all she wrote for Mr. Jaws.
