You ever wonder what it’s like to go for a ride on the back of a shark? Cape Cod shark researchers recently shared some “incredible” video footage from the view of a nearly 3,000-pound great white shark.

United Airlines, DIA’s No. 1 carrier, is using the 30-second spot to highlight its performance in a way that takes a subtle dig at its No. 2 rival in Denver, without naming Southwest Airlines.
