FEATURE - Haifisch vor der britsichen Küste versucht Kamera zu fressen
This incredible video shows sharks swimming off the UK coast - and even nibbling the camera. See story SWSHARK. Aaron Barrett, 31, was on a boat trip with his family when he encountered the school of blue sharks.He was initially afraid but soon grew comfortable with the 7ft sharks, and said they were less scary than his pet Jack Russell.He said swimming with the sharks was a 'dream come true', but things got a little close for comfort when one of the sharks nibbled his camera.Aaron, a window cleaner, found the sharks about 20 miles off Plymouth, Devon, after 'chumming' the water with mackerel.Initially one shark arrived and Aaron quickly jumped into the water, but then lost sight of the shark.He said: “I was cautious - people say you can swim with them and it’s fine but I was quite apprehensive.“I couldn’t figure out where it had gone. That was a bit scary. It’s so deep there. Even though the water is so clear, you can’t see anything.“I wasn’t sure if they were underneath us.”Their patience paid off and after about five minutes two sharks appeared – shortly followed by a several more.Aaron continued: “In the distance they have that distinct shark look and you think ‘what am I doing?’ but then they came in real close and that’s when I started to feel really comfortable.“I moved out from the boat and started to swim alongside them while touching the dorsal fin and also guiding a few inquisitive ones away from me.“To be honest, at the time I was thinking ‘this is so cool I no longer want a dog I want a shark’. / action press *** Local Caption *** 27327260

Title
The Man Who Shot, Burned and Ran A Train Over His Apple Products
If an iPod is on your Christmas list look away now - an artist has shot, burned, hammered and sawed his way through a range of Apple products.
Heartless Michael Tompert even ran over a selection of iPods with a TRAIN.
San Francisco-based Michael spent months purchasing the doomed products, which range from 2008's colourful range of iPods to the sought-after 2010 iPad
He hooked up with photographer friend Paul Fairchild to capture the end results of various kill methods.
Methods of destruction varied by product. A MacBook Air was decorated with nine neat bulletholes courtesy of a 9mm Heckler & Koch handgun, while a Magic Mouse was sliced up with a handsaw.
And Michael even took the drastic action of placing seven iPod Nanos on the tracks in the path of a Caltrain Diesel Locomotive.
But it was the iPad that proved the hardest to kill. Described by Michael as "practically indestructible", it shrugged off blows from an 8lb sledgehammer before finally meeting it's maker (Steve Jobs?) after its insides were heated with a soldering torch until it exploded.
Michael got the idea for the project after he bought his two sons an iPod Touch each for Christmas. The boys started to fight over one of the mp3 players which had a certain game installed.
His patience finally snapping, Michael grabbed one of the iPods and smashed it on the ground, to the amazement of his children.
"I had given my kids an iPod Touch so they would be happy and love me. But when the argument started I just grabbed it and smashed it in front of them because it was just a thing.
"It was still going and the screen was all liquid, it was kind of fascinating...
