You just never know when this can happen…so tragic
I didn’t think humans were that delicious.. like Selma Hayek 😉
Not the first shark death was a death 5 months ago its common, we need to cull great white sharks they are over populated due to protections! https://youtu.be/P9r3D2b3fPY
It was only a matter of time the next attack isn’t far away either. Protect humans not sharks
If this man love the ocean as much as his family/friends said I am sure he would not want the shark to be killed. Why are they trying to hunt the shark down? The ocean is their world we need to remember that when we swim/kayak/boat ect ect in the ocean/lake/rivers.
Rip
He was an RAF pilot and served two tours in Afghanistan. No doubt he killed plenty of innocent civilians. God punished him.
Why they need to kill the shark I don't understand… it's not like it grew legs, came up on land and murdered someone. We all know the risks when we swim in the ocean.
Sooo Sad to hear such. Rest In Paradise Bro. May Almighty heal his family n’ dear’s loss. …
I'm sorry, normally I would never condone a shark cull, but in this instance I would agree that this particular shark should be hunted and killed. I hope they find it.
They are fish and sometimes very hungry, we are in their home and completely blind to seeing them coming. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often to be honest.
Why in the hell would human beings be swimming in shark infested waters anyway? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes… respectfully! This was preventable ‼️SMH
Rip to the swimmer. I’ve read that some people want to start shark culling which I think is excessive as bad as I feel to the victim. Would the best idea be to encourage orcas and dolphins to swim and habitat near the areas no wild orcas have attacked humans and on some accounts have saved humans from drowning and even shark attacks, it would be a natural deterrent for sharks as even great whites wouldn’t dare swim near orca territory.
Note it says Sydney's first fatal attack in decades. It doesn't say Australia's first fatal attack in decades. Nor does it say NSW first fatal attack in decades … because there have been several in different areas in Australia. They only give stats on one beach in all of Australia and they only count fatal attacks at that one beach. Is it any wonder why people don't trust what others say. smh
great white ??? now with they had more killer whales now smh
What about Hillary and the DNC spying on the White House? Was Pelosi involved in the coup? I'm sure Adam Schiff was!
Let's Go Brandon 🇺🇲😉
WHY do this suprise anyone??? IT is their ocean and not ours. I feel sorry for the guy but I have to tell you.
Everytime you fo swimming you ha e a 50/50 chance of getting nailed. I ve flown helicopters off of Florida beaches. And see LARGE white sharks 10 dr drom people and they have no clue.
Apparently he was from Cornwall in the United Kingdom , rip young man, god bless
God bless his soul let’s just be greatfull shark attacks aren’t as common as people assume
How absolutely awful and very scary. Seems this wasn’t just a bite. A vertical attack where the shark breached the water with the swimmer. So sad.
OK but a navy fiber list a limb to a bill shark a few years ago. Not technically fatal but it needs to be pointed out.
Great White sharks are older than Dinosaurs…..Prayers for his family..with that said everyone wants to save the Oceans until it reminds us. We are not the Apex predator…Read the articles out.. he was a diving instructor who would never do anything "daft" ….I'm sorry you got into the ocean wearing a black wetsuit presenting yourself on surface of ocean like a seal…witness say it was a vertical breach attack, happened in seconds…breach was not on video… Now humans will hunt a specific Great White shark while culling the Entire Great White shark species….His family said he loved and respected the oceans, and he was against shark nets, killing of marine life….let his death not go in vain.. he is one with the ocean now….
Wetsuit would of made him more appealing to the shark from below . But the authorities hunting for the shark is bullshit .
Was it in Bondi beach?
There is a population on 2500 white sharks in Western Australia alone. They are spotted nearly daily 10 – 50 m from shore. Thats pretty scary even if you love the water.
Memo to self take mini gun and drone with air strike capabilities to the beach next vacation got it 👍
The shark ate atleast 70% of the man’s body. Base off the video I saw
See under; Why I don't go outside.
A fool gets beaten even in church
saw the video it was horrible, my condolences
Sadly, way too many British tourists fail to recognise the dangers of swimming in our waters.
Sad way to go … Humans kill sharks for their special magical properties, and the sharks hunt and kill humans as pay back … it’s a revolving door on this planet for ages and sadly , this is not the end … because , we humans are very hateful species
I hope they don't kill the shark, because if you seen the Jaws films, killing it will spawn sequels of its family wanting revenge.
There are a lot of safer beaches than this. Why swim there?? Logic man
The ironic thing is that this man who was eaten…was trying to save all sharks from nets…but yet…the great white ate him. This man was very stupid…you cannot save sharks…lions…bears…crocodiles…snakes..etc…they are not cute little dogs or cats that you can train. This is not the first time this has happened and it will not be the last…why…because many human beings are very STUPID! Keep getting into the water and see what will happen to you eventually. And….this is not the first time that someone has been eaten since 1969…there have been tons of people eaten by sharks and crocodiles in Australia since 1969…the media lies to you all. Once again say what you want about my comment…I won't reply back…but goodbye to another stupid person….I am sure that there are tons of other stupid people that the sharks are waiting for…once they get into the water.
Where is the actual video ????? Dammit
So sorry for this guy's family! God bless them all! Stay out of the ocean it's just that simple! Great white sharks seem to be always hungry and depending on what you are wearing you can look like food to them plus they are optimistic feeders! If I want to go swimming I go in a pool! I live in Louisiana and we have bull sharks and Makos and Tiger sharks and fresh water we have Alligators which is why I swim in a pool period!
Why are they trying to hunt the shark?
So sad my condolences to his family what’s tragedy 😞 but what people need to Remember is when you go in that sea your in there territory
Apparently there were fishermen trying to hook sharks and were using blood and pig meat as chum. It's enfuriating
Im sorry but are your hearts full of malevolence ( I dont want to use a other word) or are you stupid??! All those pathetic comments, rude and heartless? A young man had died tragically. If you dont want to give your condolences, ok but keep your compassion about sharks for yourself, and also your wise lessons. We all can learn from his tragedy but it not the moment and the place for such philosophical opinions. The life a man is more important that the shark's problems. If he was swimming, he was doing that peacefully. He was not a shark predator. How can you see this terrible video and write down your 'brillant' comments of prejudices.
An now the morons are out looking for the “deadly” predator! Wtf… not the sharks fault!
Rip
Stay safe when swimming everyone!
Whether it’s sharks or strong currents
Hunt that f$!?ing shark down and kill that mother$?!&er. Teach all those other sharks a lesson. RIP
It was his fault but not at the same time he was swimming near the rocks where people where people where fishing about 10 meters away
