Witnesses told the news outlet they saw a 14-foot great white shark attacking the unidentified swimmer. A fisherman on the beach told ABC Australia the swimmer was yanked underwater, and the attack lasted several seconds.

“Unfortunately this person had suffered catastrophic injuries and there wasn’t a lot paramedics could do when we arrived,” a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman told News.com.au.

  1. *I don’t know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money. Invest some of it if you want financial freedom.*

    1. Take it from one who has it and buy a house in Missouri and dream Wrangler with forex trade profits. I started with Mr Barry Silbert of financial education and he has been my handler and guider for the past years

    2. Wow! Nicely said indeed no doubt Mr Barry Silbert is the best step to take following the current situation of the world economy, I have never believed in Bitcoin or crypto currencyin all, but this has been a life changing encounter today!!

    1. That’s the dumbest cliche I’ve ever heard. Have you ever had an original thought if your own?
      The only reason this tragedy happened is because these killers aren’t hunted due to government intervention.

  2. Oh great. Now JAWS fan boys are gonna use this as an excuse to genocide sharks.

    My sincere condolences to the victim, sending love to their family too 😔💔

  3. I hope no one says we should kill more sharks before of this. It even felt stupid writing this as a comment lol

    1. Agreed. Without sharks, the entire ocean would die. Herbivores would eat all the plants and then die off because no more plants would grow.

    2. @Daniel Blumberg yeah but remember, humans are now the apex predators of the sea. They are doing a good job at killing everything, even the ecosystem. ☹️

    3. @Splint Meow I am saying that sharks make sure the ecosystem is kept in check. Without sharks, there will be a lot more problems

    4. @Splint Meow damn it man it’s not Humans‼️ didn’t you pay attention in history class The Europeans labeled the Humans primitive because they used Spears and bows thought they were ungodly because they had respect for Nature and the earth and people. They didn’t need guns , big trawlers and definitely didn’t “utilize” the resources like the More advanced anti Human colonialist

  4. Remember God loves you!!♥️
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please turn your life around and repent.
    the clock is ticking…
