I fell for it blindly ,a shark hiding by keeping dead still ,a shark pulling down a 4800lb flotation device , a shark pushing a man further out to deeper waters as well as letting the time pass as he had not long ate a woman and had to wait 15-20 minutes b4 it could shit her out what was left of her ,a shark that has a super power that other sharks don't possess this being the ability that this facking shark had me hook line and sinker it's super power being the ability to have me red faced in embarrassment for believing that a great White was/is 35ft long. (Yet rarely seen) ,can stop and wait dead still (without drowning like it would) ,that can predict the time knowing it craps out it's dinner every 15-20 minutes ,that it can pull down 4800lb objects under the sea ,my gosh I must be tired to have fell for such a yarn more like a facking yawn

I really hope one day to see some real clear film of this Super Shark called Submarine. Scar and all. If true this shark is a monster in size. possibly the largest White Shark ever. Historical records put the largest white shark at 42 feet caught in a fishing wier in Nova Scotia but that's unconfirmed.

I swear, the more I watch this, the more my heart just sinks... If I may be so bold, Mr. Thurmond, I think what you're on to is absolutely breath-taking, inspiring, actually. If I hadn't seen this footage, or the one of the free-diver, by the boat, I never would have believed it. Hell, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I mean the idea, of a Great White, that's bigger than jaws, twice as mean, and twice as cunning... actually existing... It's almost as unfathomable as the ocean, itself. I personally, don't know, just how lucky that diver, thinks he really was. It's almost as if "Submarine" was waiting for him... like it was just sitting there, trying to make out what was coming towards it. I'm not sure if it really could detect him, or even see him, clearly. I'm aware that most sharks don't have the best eyesight. What with him, wearing a wetsuit, blocking most of his scent, and masking most of his electrical impulses, given off by his heartbeat. One thing was for damn sure, that footage was as legit as it gets, if not this one, as well. Just watching the video... It's almost as if... he was just, barely out of "Submarine's" Range of ambush. I can't help but imagine, if he had gotten any closer, would he have gotten out of there, alive? It's terrifying just to contemplate. If I could get your opinion on all of this, it might just give some much needed disclosure, on what this creature is truly be capable of. As a Shark, and animal Enthusiast, I am just dying to know.
Thank You,
Jacob.

I think this submarine shark have 58 feet in the accident in 1996, in my calculation 17 years old great white is 24 feet long, the old captain before this video said he saw big shadow in the water and he think it juts a whale, and after this shark attack his boat he make some scratch under left eye of the shark with harpoon, if this shark is 30 feet long in 1976 it is 21 years old, so in 1996 in the acident of this legendary shark attack the boy it have 58 feet long and 41 years old, so if this legendary shark still alive in this year 2016 it have 86 feet long and 61 years old, that's my calculation

For everyone who thinks that it isnt real..... there is millions of feet of ocean that hasn't been discovered.... We have found the giant squid plus more ocean creatures that were supposed to have gone extinct. The submarine and megalodon... are two things that can definitely be real.... and all you people out there who think that there is absolutely no way that these sharks can't exist... the people who actually believe in these and have deticated their entire life to researching this should get just a little more credit than all of you guys out there that think that hes wasting his life and should get a real job. Hes a marine biologist!!! Thats what they do is study marine life, they are the reason we have found the giant squid. So go ahead and comment how stupid I am but that is my opinion not yours, and if you think that its ok to make fun of someone for their opinion then you have another thing comin... So go ahead, give me your worst..

I feel your pain. I understand that you have put a lot of time and effort (years) looking for this monster, but wanting to see evidence and actually having it are two different things. According to this young man, his brother was killed by the shark submarine. Has he ever seen it before? If not, how does he know it was that particular fish? Also, look at his body posture, eyes, and hand gestures. He doesn't believe what he is saying. He may not be lying, but he is not telling the whole story. Sorry, but he is not credible.

don't be too surprised there r 2 dif types of great white sharks and 2 everyone do keep in mind that great white sharks r the perfect hunter they never had to adapt or evolve they r smart and also u do know every animal land or sea has a ancestor  from prehistoric time in this case and its been proven great white ancister is megalodon 60 ft great white  now true usually great whites grow a quarter or alil over sometimes more then a quarter but do keep in mind there is a 30 ft shark collasis  they proved  now subaraine is a 30 ft or a lil over but only great white shark that elvolved  when it hunts makin it smarter and the only great white that's goes for human flesh don't knock it out totally keep in open mind

Sharks move so they can breath submarine is a whole different story o.o scientists claim that submarine is a different species of shark but others think he's some sort of alien... but my question is... is submarine more dangerous then megalodon or is it the other way around?... all I know is there both scary and they scared me so much that my mom can't get me to go to the beach anymore :(

Discovery channel and their new leadership say they want to recapture their credibility.  Yet you look on their sites and can't find an outright admission this is fake.  What they say is Submarine is legend, but they never connect the legend and the "documentary" Wrath of Submarine as fiction.   If they truly were serious they would have a clear statement the events in Wrath of Submarine were not real events and just a fictionalized account of what a shark that big and that cunning could do.

Yet all we have is accounts that are not fact.  I just won't give them my time until they admit openly on their own site and start actually doing real documentaries all the time based on scientific fact as best we understand it.  Write them and pressure them and maybe we can educate the unbelievable number of people that believe this is an actual event that took place.

Angel Gd

+Zoe Culpepper Is it possible sure, what we are talking about is "submarine" a fake documentary that was created for shark week, and footage of a shark that is not in any way a megalodon.  I believe great whites could exist much larger than we know, I believe megalodon could still exist, but the problem is when people are so gullible to believe in things simply because they saw it on TV.  Believing is not the crime, but putting forth false evidence as an argument for the existence of something isn't good for science or the people who actually do more than watch the discovery channel, which admitted openly submarine was fake, and are in the field actually doing science.

Angel Gd - 9 years ago
+Tr1plett Hey believer in everything you see on TV.  It is known fact that this is a Mockumentary of a local legend that may or may not exist.  It's done by the discovery channel and created huge controversy at the time because Shark Week used to be about facts not drama that was made up.  It's pretty easy to confirm this, through simple research on your own but you want to just take for fact that this is real.  

Somewhere at the beginning , or in the credits there should be a disclaimer, probably pretty small but it's there.  I watched on national geographic the autopsy of T-REX by real dinosaur experts that showed them, using the advice of those same experts on their best knowledge and comparison to animals and reptiles today that had similar physical and characteristics and through serious bone analysis that has only existed in the last 15 or so years.  

Instead of going down the list and insulting all of us who did our homework and know we're right, how about you do the same, and maybe you won't come off looking so naive while trying to insult all of us.  It just makes you look really uneducated and a sheep believing everything you see on TV that is touted as real, or that just looks real.  Research the names in the documentary, look up the victims names, ask Discovery directly.  They took a lot of heat for this fiction, but it garnered so much attention and was entertaining, but that's all it was entertainment to kick off Shark Week.

hey man lets not get crazy, it could happen its just very unlikely that this was indeed a 30 to 35 foot great white. they usually go up to about 16 to 25 feet so it could be a fluke. though it was an extreme coincidence that when i was watching this a 6 to 9 foot bull shark swam across the coast when my family and i were at the beach

This show is definitely fake. The boat that capsized was real but the shark "submarine" was never there killing anyone. You can find the actual story of what happened. Don't you think if a woman got dragged underwater by a 38ft great white than would be headline news instead of some dumb fake documentary. If i had evidence like they apparently had in this show i wouldn't be making a film about it. You would have to hunt that thing down. Just saying

THE "Surveillance footage" is a COMPLETE FABRICATION (I have proof).  This video was not from 1996 and it was not filmed anywhere near South Africa.  It is from an ROV named "XLS-09" on the vessel Q-4000.  This video was taken in the Gulf of Mexico during the BP oil spill in 2010.  The text in the lower left (MC252) stands for "Mississippi Canyon 252".  This is the block where BP "Macondo" well is located.  On the original video there IS NO SHARK!  The large rectangular object in the video is the cap that was originally placed on the BP well in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the flow.

It's bad enough making a fictional drama dressed up as a factual documentary/dramatisation, but to then expand the myth into social media as if the events in the show were real is just taking advantage of the average viewer.
There is no such thing as the "South African Institute for Marine Research", just as Mel Thurmond is a fictional character played by an actor.
One can only imagine that the real intitues, the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity or the South African Marine Predator Lab, did not want to be involved.

A documentary exploring the legend of Submarine and the possibility of its existance is fine, but making up shark attack incidents and creating fake footage with CGI is just silly if you're going to try and maintain the pretence that this is a 'documentary'.
It'd be better of presented as an actual movie of one man pursing the legend, shot as if the cameras aren't there.

so man ..meaning us, has only discovered 7% of the ocean floor that is out there..We dont know wtf is out there but i do know that there has to be 40 even 50 ft sharks out there..The pigmy whale was supposed to be instinct and they found one not even 4 years ago washed up on shore..That was megladdons primary food source back in its time..So if its favorite food source has not died out yet,how can this bahemoth of an animal not be around? I think its out there.and one day we all will get a good look at one,

Mel Thurmond, where are you? Come out and play! You obviously wanted us talking about this topic. Here's an idea, why not direct Discovery Channel's attention to this comments section and others like it. 
We are the audience to whom their programming is directed. 

They need to at least look at what their audience are saying. 
We are the ones who will determine the future of Discovery by our continued support. 
If we move away en masse to somewhere else, or get too upset as a group, Discovery, could suffer, their, obviously, worst nightmare, a terminal drop in viewers.

We and our families are the ones that keep Discovery Channel alive.
Please use your position to pass this on to the powers that be.

Something to bear in mind with these animals is that the breeding population would, very likely, not be large. There could as few as a couple dozens, and the creatures could possibly take a long time to reach sexual maturity. ( please, note, that i am not a scientist. But i am sure they could give out numbers.) I can see these creatures easily traversing the entire globe to interact with each other. As the animal increases in size, the reproduction usually takes longer.

A dog's gestation period is about 2 months.
A goat's 5 months.
A cow's 9 months.
A horse's 12 months.
A donkey's 12-14 months.
A giraffe's 15 months.
An african elephant's almost 2 years.
A humpbacked whale's 2 years.
So, megalodon's would be possibly more, especially if it gave live birth like some dogfishes.

You're just a worthless human like the rest of the species. And btw, humans have only discovered around 10-15% of the ocean. People have no idea what's out there besides the U.S. government. So please, if you are not a shark, be quiet and do something else besides critisize this video. Critisize Discovery instead.

Lets look at some key factors from this video, of why this appears to look like bullshit. Just mentioning it for the people that 100% believe this is true. Not trying to be a troll if it is entertainment. 

1) What is the boat doing near an oil rig? 
2) How come the operators on the rig didn't see or hear it?
3) If the boat was capsized right next to an oil rig, where there is cameras (Monitored 24/7 for oil leaks) not viewed until now?
4) How come the oil rig wasn't affected by the shark?
5) How come the largest shark ever "captured on video" happened to have "unique" characteristics?
6) How come its not in the media or ever heard of significantly?
6) A shark of this size and mass would need to stay significantly below the waters to avoid humans, however this would also mean the difference is air pressure would of killed it. 
7) Why would a 30+ feet shark be hiding away from a human (As it knew with its complex mind and intelligence) moments after capsizing a boat?
8) A megalodon can be up to 20 meters long with the average human being 1.8 meters. That would fill him and on top of this shark don't typically like the taste of us. So why would this shark eat one human, get full, and use its super intelligence to push another away from a safety to later eat him not even knowing its prey could possible fleet. This is like a great white eating a gold fish from a pond, they just don't do it. 

Can't be arsed to write anymore as I'm probably just wasting my time trying to change intolerant minds.

If you think I'm wrong I'd like to hear you answer all 8 of my statement/questions with justifiable answers like mine. Use legitimate answers with backed up information not just idiotic replies.

The video itself was obviously CGI, megalodon or not they are exactly the same thing as a Great White Shark only large. That meaning that they move and act the same exact way, only preying on different food because of size difference. With that being said if you look at the way it moves in that clip and compare it to the thousands of videos we have of real Great Whites you can see how clearly fake it looks.

Yea while I really wish this documentary was real, as I watched I couldn't help but ask myself if something like this happened really, as Mel says in the video, 3 months ago were when these events occurred, and there is no possible way this wouldn't be international news. Broadcast-ed all over news station and the internet. This is exactly the type of thing that would capture the minds and hearts of the general public and any journalist would kill to be the first to bring it to the attention of the public. The "scientist" were convincing enough for me whose knowledge of marine biology goes as far as my fish tank and the occasional shark week documentary, but when after I've taken the time to research the event its just obviously fake. I'm disappointed Discovery.

Tyler white its real he's the head honcho this is the ocean. A shark that big iuld look CGI pouncing they may have even been reenactments if the actual incident. And the body did not weigh 4800 lbs dumbass they said it required 4800 lbs of force to submerge it given the air in it and keep it submerged. And a 38 ft great white weighing roughly 8 or 9000 lbs could easily do that you fucktard. Also its been sighted by many people and many attacked survivors over decades describing the same shark with the same unique scar from a harpoon incident. Also no shark scar is the same on any shark. Its killed many people and has been sighted since the 70s and 1980s. The one guy or surfer got his leg torn off and described same shark its probably killed hundreds of people over 3 or 4 decades and estimated 27 in the last ten alone. This is the ocean ! And fish have indeterminate growth rates they grow there whole lives. A twenty ft great white caught off prince cape was only 17 years old so you can imagine. Also genes can play a big factor in huge sharks just like man or any species. Get a fuckin clue pal. Lmao

+Adrienne Strena thiss is exactly like saying : space is so big an old , statisticly it has to have devaloped life in it or even advanced inteligens..  but scientific tv chanel making a show about ppl claiming to know this is true based on blury shots made in the dark.. ?? well i took a step back before the tv show and say :yes it might be posible . another most likely is : dinosaurs evolving having space technology and leaving earth when they saw the commet aproaching or better now living in underground citys ,being part of the human politics on earth.. 
or the best one : god , it has 0 rules of existence so just by logic it has to be true..
just because we havent seen it does not mean its not there , or is it? how can you prove mermaids not to exist after the mermaid show on discovery? the evidence is all disputable ,but the posibility and blury images and the fake videos and the disclamer it being for entertainment only ,it could be true .. right?

Ok, so for me, it was after watching "The Abyss" that I really took a step back & said, "well, it's not totally impossible..."
Yes, the ocean is HUGE, & some places, it's VERY, very deep. We have only explored a small fraction of what's under the surface. Personally, I won't discount anything, without substantial proof. Just because we haven't seen it absolutely does not mean it doesn't exist! But that's just MHO.

+Tyler White And, for the sake of the argument, you fool, sharks are incapable of deep thought - that applies to humans only. Animals react to their instincts. Of course it did not think 'this is a unique opportunity'. Sharks are intelligent but to the point that they're capable of thinking in complex and multi-faceted ways like we do. Isolating your prey is a common factor in most predator animals' hunting habits. Dumbass.

It may look like terrible acting but I believe it's just a truly passionate man desperate for some one to credit him for his amazing discovery. Can you imagine spending 25 years on what at first you believed to be a hunch and finally find video footage to proof that you were right and have everyone just laugh at you? Remember we have explored our oceans far less then we have explored space; no one fully knows what's lying in the deep. If sharks continue to grow as they age just like our noses and ears I would truly hate to see what this behemoth of a shark will do to that ecosystem as he gets older and unrivaled. Thank you for your research!!!

ridiculous show with my family.
I expected to learn about shark behavior with actual scenarios,
not a fictitious "documentary".

I was talking about how the tail is positioned on the shark. The belly is facing us and the tail looks like one of a whale not a shark. I was thinking if this was faked it could be a mistake by the creator? I was just throwing out a possibility. I, of course could be wrong.

Mel, the show tonight showed another underwater video and a still above water matching the scar. Where's those photos on this post or anywhere? I take it they were fabricated as in fakes. We were torpedoed with 2 hrs of BS. Did you work on that show about mermaids? The Science Channel started showing shows about ancient aliens. You are all sellouts responsible for the dumbing down of the public. When you and your family are sold out by your doctors thank money hungry people like you with no ethics and no shame.

OK so i am an avid discovery channel watcher, animal lover and veterinarian in training.  SO needless to say i really admire your work and how hard you are working to prove such an amazing creature.....BUT i have been reading some articles online from different blog sources saying that they did their own research and say this is all a fake.  So not to be rude but are you truly a scientist?  Is this truly real?  I know that he sinking of the JoyRide is real and one of the passengers did actually get bitten and or eaten.  I have no quarrel with Discovery if it is fake (seeing as Dragons and Mermaids were on there too) i like seeing some fake footage of things i really do wish were real.  So tell me, please...is it faked or real???

The thing that's seems off about this video is the sharks tail... Why isn't it up and down like most shark tails and on the other footage of submarine and here it's side to side like a whales tail?

macdaddymario
macdaddymario - 10 years ago
Sam, I think he was talking about the way the tail is oriented on the shark, not the way it moves. Like the shark tail is vertical on it's body while the whale tail is horizontal.

 Of course, I could be wrong and he could be talking about the way the tail moves and not the way it's set on the body.
Samantha Smith
Samantha Smith - 10 years ago
You're mistaken. Whale tails move up and down and shark tails move side to side. You had them mixed up, I believe.

No need to worry Ryan you gave a valiant effort, but the thought of possibly being lied to on national television by people who could actually think up an entirely fictional event and make a television show out of it claiming it as factual proved to be too much for our friends Erika, Marsha, and Rebecca. I also must agree that the level of acting in this is truly piss poor and can only be rivaled by that of the pornos I've seen in my day. In fact, I think Brazzers may have them beat! I know you were not the one throwing insults in the first place and normally I would refrain from doing so myself in order to engage in an intelligent debate. However, in this case I'm just gonna keep it short and simple. Erika, Marsha, and Rebecca please kill yourselves. Oh and P.S. Marsha it's they're not "their". Way to contradict your own attempt to insult you idiot ;)

I'm not the one calling someone else self absorbed or a jerk... And you clearly haven't researched this story very well this video is fake and you would know that if you did some actual research on the subject and I'm not opposing anything I am just calling it as it is... a fake ! And the fact you are buying into this fake story shows how little you know... I'm not going anywhere either I stand by my comment on this video if you don't like what I have to say then just move on... As for why other countries hating America I am definitely not the problem its people like you who think they know what they are talking about but actually have no clue... On that note I am not going to continue arguing with you about this I am not going to drop to your level anymore I have made my point accept it or don't its your choice! But I do find it funny that you let my comment get under your skin so much lol good read a book or something...

+ryan tydings maybe you're the one dishing out random insults and are so afraid of what might actually be true. So if you aren't going to support this theory or idea then you need to go away because nobody wants you here. And as a matter of fact, you are the reason people hate America because you can't see reason in shit and want to feel cool for apposing something. you're the one who is blind to hard facts that have been proven over years over research and study.

Grayson Johnson
Grayson Johnson - 10 years ago
This is amazing footage of this shark at first it caught me off guard because most videos that show this type of information or footage would be discredited but what you have is so amazing. I have been doing some of my own research just here and there and I came across a 9 ft great white being eaten by something a lot bigger than itself. When I read this, I automatically thought of a megalodon because really what would eat a 3 meter shark and yet go unseen, The depth the shark went down was a great amount and I believe that a large white shark could have adapted to live in colder climates of the water. I would just like to hear what you have to say about this and any explanation because you seem to have  vast knowledge of the white shark. And do you think there are white sharks larger than 30 ft in the ocean I know a place with so many discoveries yet to be made. Anyways please post more and please answer me if you get a chance
Thanks,
Grayson.
