What idiot goes swimming in the fooking ocean like that - got no sympathy for her at all!

Xenon - 6 years ago

A day prior to getting chomped, she was on the phone to her mother an told her she was planning on swimming in the ocean, but her mother was scared in case she got chomped by a shark. She thought her mother was being stupid, and told her to calm down, and nothing like that would happen.

It's kills me when people say you have a better chance at winning the lotto or getting struck by lightning then a shark attack. All you have to do is going swimming in the San Francisco Bay I bet you will attract a hungry shark. Does anyone else wish to take their chance on those odds

Brian Quinn - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

Lol. Doesn't matter if you disagree. It's true. And you've obviously never been swimming in the Bay. I have. No sharks that I saw.

Mighty Wolf 09 - 8 years ago

Brian Quinn but it is true

Lance Parker - 8 years ago

Along the California, Oregon, and Washington State coastlines, there are NO bull sharks. Just White sharks....and about 35 other sharks, most of which aren't dangerous man-eaters.
You have to travel down to Baja, CA in Mexico to find bull sharks on the Pacific coastline.
Bull shark attacks are much deadlier than White shark attacks, and even a small 3' bull shark can easily take BIG chunks of leg, arm, or torso off and come back again and again aggressively without pausing to savor the flavor or be picky about what kind of warm, bloody flesh they are eating.
Conversely, our local CA surfers and kayak paddlers commonly report seeing 8' - 15' White sharks swim by them without molesting them from Point Reyes north down to Monterey Bay south. Seeing one is common enough now these days that normally no one who spends a lot of time in the water even reports it to the media anymore, mostly to avoid being bitten by the horrific, fatal, Paparazzi Shark.

We think the Whites are always here along our CA coastline, just gliding along outside the Kelp Zone looking for marine mammals, but they usually can only be seen by swimmers, ab divers, and surfers when our normally-murky coastal waters clear up to 20 or 30 foot visibility in the late summer, or from above when you are sitting on your surfboard.
I'm not sure seeing them makes you feel any better since we know they are always around...somewhere, 365 days a year.

EASY rule of thumb: Don't molest White sharks anywhere, or be IN the water, in ANY place where marine mammals are common and White sharks normally feed.......and the White sharks won't molest you.

The odds of being bitten by a Great White shark are roughly the same whether you go into the ocean every day or stay completely out of the ocean every day....but this is one 30 million-to-one winning Lottery Ticket you DON'T want to hit on.

worst camera man of all time...can't see shit...was he being attacked at same ?

nonplayerzealot4 - 6 years ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0IIOMyG6lI Here's a 1994 camcorder. Even the most beautiful, peaceful moment would've had a fair amount of shaking and violent swings by a novice filmer. Look how that monocular eyepiece limits your vision. If you want to search around for content beyond what you see in the eyepiece, the whole camera follows with it. Very hard for most peeps back then to find the important scene and stick to it as much as possible. Even today, peeps who are tech savvier than ever can't figure out how to angle their smartphones while recording. Like I posted above, I remember my first screen based viewfinder handheld camcorder in 99. I still have stuff that I taped from then. I distinctly remember how revolutionary it felt to see such a wide scope on a screen compared to an eyepiece. Made filming a lot easier and less shaky (not to mention sharper given added technology).

mahalodst6 um so your going to stay calm when you friend is getting eaten alive bye a shark

Bijinius Cross - 6 years ago

i know, right? What an ASSHOLE! Why couldn't he hold his 1994-era smartphone steady while he watched his helpless friend have her leg viciously eaten by a 20-foot shark? WHAT A LOSER!!

nonplayerzealot4 - 6 years ago

First, it was fortunate that a camcorder was even filming at all. In the early 90s, people didn't have the resources or even the inclination to film ordinary life scenes like we do now. Second, camcorders back then still had shit single-eye monocular eyepieces that severely limited your field of vision. Lest you were a competent amateur fimer, you are gonna swing that shit all over the place and lose your scope of the scene every single time. That's basically what happened here. He should've kept it tight on the scene. However,...that was his friend or classmate who just got her effin leg amputated in front of him. That was a hectic scene. I would feel too fuckin terrible for her to be at my best on the camcorder, ha. At any rate, the first semi-compact video cams with a screen viewfinder came out in late 90s. I had a nice one in 1999. That shit was light years ahead of the camcorders that still existed only 5 years prior. Glad she survived! YOU GO GURL!

aiolosgr - 8 years ago

Of course the chances of a great white attack to a human are extremely small, even smaller than the chances of a plane crash. That doesn't change the fact that great whites are responsible for the most horrific and freakish attacks to humans in history. The cases are very few, but the terror is unbelievable. Related movies may show many exaggerations, especially in size, but the truth is that there are cases that great white sharks devoured humans from head to waist, nearly sunk small boats, even there was a case of dragging a woman from a depth of only 3 feet of water.

StandardRacing - 8 years ago

Mosquitoes, deer, bees, dogs, ants, cows, horses, spiders, and rattlesnakes kill more humans each year than sharks do. You should be more afraid to go outside than to go into the ocean. 1.3 million people are killed each year in auto accidents but I don't see anybody scared to ride in a vehicle.

Andy RoXx - 8 years ago

@ Cynical Atheist Good explained, you deserve a like.

Despite All My Rage - 8 years ago

+Merrick Cassian
The fear of sharks stems from several things, but mainly because people in general are terrified of the unknown. Especially when you're in the ocean with no idea what's beneath you or even in front of you or behind you for that matter.
Of course more people die from car accidents and mosquito bites. The mosquito is the deadliest insect in the world. And vehicle accidents...well, obviously more people die from that because 90% of people in the world travel in a vehicle multiple times a day. Obviously it's going to be a common occurrence.
Swimming in the ocean is not a common thing for most people, which makes a shark attack even more rare and uncommon. But it does happen. And quite often if you look at it statistically.
Speaking of statistics...wanna hear a creepy one? One out of every 3 people who swim in the ocean have unknowingly come within feet of a shark at one point or another.

Merrick Cassian - 8 years ago

The fear is because a mosquito kills you by nipping you and giving you a fatal disease, while a shark kills you by chomping the everliving fuck out of you until you bleed out or dragging you under the water and drowning you.

Not to say we should be cripplingly afraid of sharks, but I can totally understand why people are more afraid of sharks than mosquitos, cows, ants, etc.

This is what I don't understand. Sharks are sharks if they are hungry they will eat regardless of prey. Scientist say mistaken identity but also claim that sharks are smart and senses are sharper then our own. My opinion is that's nonsense, people, or seal or other fish.. If your in the water and a shark is hungry then your food..

Brian Quinn I agree with you Bri, and by the way, you're cute as fuck bro!!!
I would lick you right in your ass that's how cute you are!

Brian O'Neil - 6 years ago

Damien Landstorm maybe another reason why sharks take only a bite off of a human is because the human they bite will be thrashing around and everything and maybe they feel it's not worth wasting the energy to kill it for a meal that has so little meat

Lord Thornton Eddington - 6 years ago

Bullshit. That’s a myth because people usually get help and get out of the water. People alone who don’t get help get consumed or partially consumed

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

+Brian Quinn That's exactly what I'm saying. Sharks have keen SENSES but they don't have remarkable intelligence. They're fucking fish, dude. They see something in the water that might be tasty and their first instinct is to bite it and find out. Humans are NOT on the menu. We don't taste good and we're not particularly sustaining. Dude, you got to stop getting your shark info from horror movies.

Brian Quinn - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm your telling me a shark will just take a bite and swim away realizing that us humans are generally not on the menu according to "science". This is the same science that speaks about how keen a sharks senses are , yet they bite us by accident. C'mon dude get real. A shark is an eating machine...

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

+Brian Quinn Would I like to take my "chances" in shark infested water? Of course not. What kind of a question is that?

Actually mythbusters did an episode for Shark Week about the blood in the water thing and determined the blood they're attracted to is species dependent, and they don't give a shit about human blood. Even so, there's obviously safety precautions you would take when swimming in the ocean, just like hiking in bear country. Not sure what point you're trying to make.

Brian Quinn - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm if a shark is hungry and there's blood in the water your done... no if/ands/or buts about it. Would you like to take your chances in the open water that is shark infested and your lost at sea?

Brian Quinn - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm believe what you want buddy. Science says one thing, but if a shark is hungry your food. A shark swims, eats and makes little sharks.

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

Well, yeah, no shit. The point is sharks don't like humans as food. They bite things to see what they are and if they're edible. If they don't like it, they leave. It's pretty much universally accepted by biologists that sharks don't like the taste of humans. We have so little meat on us anyway, it's not like we could satisfy a 20 foot great white.

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

Did you seriously just tell me to watch a horror movie to understand the science behind shark attacks?

Andre Deliz - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm a bite is a bite. if a shark bites you, youre gonna lose a limb or half of your torso. its not a dog bite.

Brian Quinn - 7 years ago

Damien Landstorm keep telling yourself that. Watch the movie "the reef"

Damien Landstorm - 7 years ago

Most sharks don't eat you. They take a bite, decide that you taste bad and leave. You ought to watch a documentary or something, cause you sound dumb as shit.

Andre Deliz - 8 years ago

Brian Quinn I agree, they don't care what you are. Sharks just wanna eat to survive another day.

Lenny Romero - 8 years ago

+NaniSore is on point. Not many (if there are any) stories of sharks eating people whole.

iHateDentists - 8 years ago

+Brian Quinn They often dont legit try to kill you. They just...bite you. They don't meet humans that often so its a new alien type of prey for most of them. Of course a bite from a shark may result in a loss of a limb though. Trust me, if the shark was hungry and looking for a kill. She would be dead 100%. Yet almost all accidents result in a bite and swimming away.

BradJC70 - 12 years ago

A GW thath size can absoluely take a leg from a person. Effortlessly in fact. There are many records of people being bitten in half in a GW attack. They have tremendous 'bite power'. Up to 4000 psi. It would take considerably less force than that to tear a fragile human body apart, given the teeth behind it.

jrepnin - 12 years ago

I think this is the same vid I saw years ago on tv but from a different camera angle. I think the shark was able to rip her leg off because she was handed a pole to grab onto which gave the shark leverage to tear it off. GW's are not known to have that bite power. A tiger shark just slices through everything.
