Have to say the worst shark attack I’ve seen.
_______________________________________________

How many have you seen? What are the chances of people having a camera at the moment someone is being devoured? I know that recently some young adult jumped off a party ship at night on a dare, and the fellow passengers saw a shadowy form approach him and think it was a shark that ate him. There was a photo of that.

I posted a map of the attacks in that area -up thread a little.

It took less than 35 seconds from the start of the attack until he was pulled under the last time. For the viewers on the dock - likely just about 20 seconds once they fully realized what was happening. .....So if a Tiger shark is hunting for food, has his target, you really don't have time to get away nor to be rescued.

I saw that kid who jumped off a cruise ship photo you mentioned. He had been drinking so even with the current it could have pulled him away and under. Last I read they weren't sure regarding a possible shark in the shadows.

I've seen a lot of shark attack videos. Frankly the ocean is their domain so i will always be a risk to swim there IMO. So I would never do that.

Some believe this shows the Cruise jumper trying to get away from a shark others say it's his foot kicking and creating a splash.
