Sharks killed two female swimmers within hours of each other near a resort in Egypt’s Red Sea, officials said Sunday.

Video showed Friday’s horrific attack on one of the victims, a 68-year-old Austrian — with an onlooker acknowledging bluntly, “She’s going to f–king die,” the Times of Israel reported.

The woman, and a Romanian lady in her 40s, were separately found mutilated less than half a mile away from each other near the popular tourist area of Sahl Hasheesh.

Not original with me, but fits the photo.

The suspected perp: A Mako shark.

Never understood the appeal of swimming in shark infested waters.

Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies.

The trouble around Amity began on the July 4 weekend too, IIRC. Perhaps the movie needs a "holiday" designation, like a summer version of Die Hard.

Has Israel been blamed yet?

Trained laser sharks?

When I was in the service we killed sharks for fun.

The most frightening view of the ocean I have ever had occurred at Ras Muhammad at the tip of Sinai. From a bluff I followed a parade of absolutely huge sharks as they circled an inlet. There is great scuba around Sinai and down the coast of Saudi Arabia, but nothing could tempt me to go swimming there.

That Austrian woman...she’s been wearing anti-covid masks for three years, then she goes out and swims in shark-infested waters!

Go figure.

My dive in the Red Sea off shore of Sharm El Shek was the hottest water I ever dove in.
Also a fair amount of current.
Dive boat had to throw us a rope and they pulled us in.
Didn’t see sharks but we were told they were common.
