Oil worker films Hundreds of sharks in feeding frenzy off Louisiana coast.
The sharks are basically following other fish that they eat as the fish move into warmer waters, according to shark expert Greg Marshall.
The video was shot from an oil platform about 30 miles off the coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana last week.

Marine biologist and film maker Ellen Husain told MailOnline that the sharks are likely to have been spinners, found in the Gulf of Mexico, and known for migrating north in large numbers up the Florida coast at this time of year.
She added: ‘You can also get a few other sharks mixed in with them, like hammerheads and blacktips.’
