A swimmer was killed by a shark in a vicious attack filmed by horrified beachgoers Wednesday near Sydney, video shows.

Police said they recovered human remains in the water after emergency crews responded to reports of a great white shark attack at Buchan Point in Malabar about 4:30 p.m. local time.

In the terrifying scene captured by a beachgoer, the shark could be seen thrashing around as the waves turned bright red from the victim’s blood.

“Someone just got eaten by a shark!” a man yelled in the video, adding that the shark was a “big great white.”

“That’s insane.”

A police officer said on the radio: “Footage clearly shows a body, half a body, being taken by a shark,” adding that first responders “found some remains.”

Yeah, until they actually revealed how they did it, it had me scratching my head. Now they could probably do it with CGI.

Fun fact: the main reason Australia became a prison colony is because something happened to stop England from dumping prisoners at their old prison dump.

The American Revolution. LOL

The best way to avoid shark attacks? Stay out of the water.

Here in Hollywood, I got to know the producers and researchers on Discovery’s SHARK WEEK series.

2 of them have been researching sharks the past combined 30 years. What kills them is these idiot animal lovers who think they see human swimmers as seals, which makes them eat them. That’s a big fat no. We are LUNCH. Period.

Jesus would not approve of what you said. It was callous and wrong.

In my SCUBA training I was taught the best way to avoid sharks and Orcas is to not look like a seal and stay on the bottom.

Everything in Oz can kill you or eat you.

It’s just like Texas except for the unarmed and cowed population, bending to the will of the Matriarchy

You go into the shark’s territory, you take your chances. RIP.

**Jaws**

Directed by a guy who has gotten rich off of ignorant people.

His first big hit: A tv movie, where a nimble car can’t seem to out run a loaded semi on mountainous highways.

Still using the term “filmed” and “footage” in a digital video world.
