When was the last time you were at a museum? You can find them in almost every town or city, although some are more elaborate than others. If you really want to see some of the best museums, you need to go to the Nation’s capital, Washington DC. The Smithsonian is the best example of a museum but there are also many other, smaller museums that are worth seeing as well. Obviously, the man in this video was interested in expanding his horizons.
As he was standing, looking into a large aquarium, he was no doubt mesmerized by what he saw in front of him. There were some extremely large fish that were swimming by, including some sharks! The sign above the aquarium window reads “Touch at Your Own Risk,” but that is like telling somebody not to touch the shiny, red button. It isn’t long before the man reaches out to touch the glass and when he finds out that he gets away with it, he does it a second time. It is his reaction at the end, however, that really has this video going viral.
Humans seem to have a natural fear of sharks. When you really stop to think about it, however, the numbers don’t line up. In recent years, there have been very few shark attacks and typically, there is only one person killed every other year in the United States. That being said, it’s always a good idea to be cautious when you are swimming in water that is shared by sharks.
You also need to think about how intelligent sharks are because they can often tell the difference between humans and their natural prey. That being said, the fear still does exist for most people.
Although most people would say they are afraid of sharks, they are actually afraid of those razor-sharp teeth. This display, at the International Spy Museum in Washington DC, is known for frightening people but this man got more than he bargained for.
Even though the exhibit warned him not to do it, he kept touching it over and over again. Isn’t long before you know something bad is going to happen.
At first, it is a careful tap on the screen and then in a little while, you see a shark swimming nearby. He is fascinated by what he sees but so far, there is nothing to fear.
When he touches the screen again, The shark swims directly at him. When it does so, it hits the screen in front of him and sends him backward.
Who could blame him for being frightened? Push play to watch the video:
