Two Australian TV hosts have been stunned into silence live on air after a segment revealed an enormous great white shark being captured on camera erupting out of the ocean.
"I am never going back in the water," Karl Stefanovic - the host of the Today show - said moments after the footage was aired.
The colossal 4.5m shark also shocked co-host Lisa Wilkninson who joined in the vow to never to go back into the sea again.

"That's it... that's the biggest thing I've ever seen" Stefanovic continued.
"Like that little cage is going to help you", he laughed.
Stefanovic was introducing a segment looking at new technology that allows cameramen to get closer than ever whilst filming the creatures.
Their new underwater vessels will include a mobile cage called the W.A.S.P (Water Armour Shark Protection), and will enable divers to walk along the ocean floor while filming.

Some specimens have been recorded to exceed 20 feet (6 meters) and weighing up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms).
