You have almost survived Shark Week.

The Discovery Channel phenomenon began in 1988, this year's installment in Sunday.

NBA legend, Shaquille O'Neal, hosted this year, in part to overcome his fear of sharks.

Producers had to build a larger than usual cage for him. They included extra large windows

for better visibility. As a result, a small shark squeezed through the bars and into the cage.

This was a first in the show's 30-year history. The team behind the camera was able to get

quickly. One of the show's producers said, Shaq hasn't moved that fast since he was in the NBA.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, but without a cage or television personnel to help,
