Isn't this horrific? A new video showed the moment a great white shark attacked Australian surfer Kai McKenzie, ripping his leg off. In the video, the shark lunges for McKenzie dragging him under water.

"Clinging to life, [McKenzie] was able to catch a wave back to the beach," the GoFundMe page read. A retired police officer used a dog leash to stop the bleeding. He survived the encounter, but it's unknown if doctors managed to reattach his leg.
