our "instant index" begins with a heart-pounding encounter. Look at the photos. A school of sharks, a dive tour operator off the coast of south africa. He lowered a bucket of sardines into the shark-infested waters, and watch. First, one shark, then quickly a feeding frenzy. Dozens of others, as big as 16 feet long and 2,000 pounds. One shark, a real glutton, putting the whole bucket in its mouth. The diver says the secret to staying calm is never touch a shark's nose. It's the number one thing that gets them mad. And a remarkable display of heart and strength, caught on tape. Watch the right side of your screen. It's an overturned suv on a highway in albuquerque. An 8-year-old girl pinned underneath. Five good samaritans on the far side of the vehicle struggle to free her. And officer steve nunez runs back to his police car to radio for help, explaining the daddy mode as the sudden surge of strength. It's always harold to see anybody in that situation, but especially children. And daddy mode kicked in. That little girl is expected to make a full recovery. And another daughter and another reason to smile today, in florida. 9-year-old elena adams was asked to throw out the first pitch at the tampa bay rays game. Look, there she is. The catcher, crouched, waiting for the ball. She throws -- and then starts towards the stands. But then -- the catcher takes off his mask to reveal his identity. Her dad, who has been in afghanistan for the past year. Elena sprinted into his arms. She said it seemed like a dream. By the way, her mom agreed, and loved the surprise, with one reservation. She said, the house was so messy. We want her to know, she does not have to worry.
