He was is the right place at the right time. No mistaken identity. Shark saw a slow moving human and decided for salad (human) instead of Cheesecake (seals). I got that analogy from another person on one of these threads. Canceling the charity event in wake of his death would go against all Simon stood for. He would have been heartbroken to know they set up Drum Lines and killed two tiger sharks in the process (of course that's all we were told was collateral damage). Rest in peace Simon Nellist.

You can look down the beach on a 40c degree day and see thousands of people only waist deep in the water. There is the odd person here or there that swims up and down the coast 50m out, but I always think they're testing fate. We also have a shark Patrol in summer.

Waistdeep water is still easily deep enough to get a shark bite. I've actually known 2 people that got bit at New Smyrna, both while standing on sandbars in water up to their thighs. 1 guy was playing with his 6 year old son at the time, the Spinner Shark took a quick chomp right above the back of his knee just after he put his kid up on his shoulders, it let go almost immediately though & only left a partial bite mark. The other guy got a quick grab at his calf with what was believed to also be a Spinner, he lost a piece of his calf muscle though, about the size of a dime. Funny thing is the dad who got a partial bite said it hurt immediately & when he looked back & could see the shark at the surface of the water, his gut reaction was to simply get pissed & he remembers saying "what's your problem" out loud. The guy who got a tiny piece taken out of his calf didn't feel any immediate sharp pain, he said it was more like a really horrible Charley Horse while you're sleeping, which then turned into feeling like his leg got electrocuted, but it didn't fully hurt until the next day.

The shark left no remains.

Ive heard a lot of people ride attacks like this one off to mistaken identity but thats complete BS to me. When a Shark is hungry and your out there all on your own moving slower then a injured seal theyre gonna take full advantage of what they prercieve as a easy meal. After the initial attack the shark had to have known he tasted nothing like seals or any other oceanic animals they predate on normally and yet it still came back to finish em off. Now maybe some are legit mistaken identity incidents but not as many as we are made to believe. This mistaken identity BS in a way gives off a false sense of security. Its like saying "the Shark didnt mean to kill you, It thought you were a seal ect." When In reality the majority of attacks are opportunistic predation or territorial. And knowing that should affect your behavior when in the Ocean. Knowing that if you give them the opportunity they can and will attack/eat you opposed to appearing less "seal-like".

I grew up in the area and fished of the exact spot numerous times 30 years ago. The spot in Little Bay was known as Juiian. No f ing way would I swim there. Splashing around on the surface is never good in the ocean in deep water.

In 1978, at age 5, the first movie I saw on videodisc was JAWS. I lived off of Lake Michigan, in Muskegon, and was terrified to go into the water after that. My dad would laugh and say something about the lake not being saltwater, which didn’t ease my 5-year-old fears, not one bit. My mother lives in Myrtle Beach, and I catch all kinds of hell because I still won’t set so much as a toe in the water. People always rattle off some unpersuasive statistic - probably the same stats this poor guy rattled off to people like me - to which I reply “You know what my odds of getting eaten by a shark are if I DON’T go into the water? NADA, zero, ZILCH. I like those odds.” As Bill Burr said, swimming in the ocean is like running naked, barefoot and blindfold through the jungle. I’ll take my chances on good ol’ fashion soil and pavement, thank you very much.

God bless this man, his family and friend's. They're all in my prayers . So heartbreaking. However, i don't think sharks are to blame. It's there natural feeding home, as with all fish. They do not know what a human is, until that 1st bite. Sharks have different personalities, don't know what a human is until they taste it, and then 80% are probably turned off. With all due respect, it's there feeding environment. I've loved the ocean, since I was a kid, from a far, or on a larger vessel. I have my 12ft sit on top fishing kayak, which I fish very large lakes, and resevoirs miles long. My kayak is equipped with anything I need to call for help, Charge devices, paddles, pedals, 3hp electric motor, basically everything I would ever need to survive, if trapped or a failure on my boat.

That is insanely disturbing to watch.

Someone has already said it, but in my opinion this video does destroy the ‘mistaken identity’ narrative that has been widely accepted surrounding shark attacks. I think it’s a matter of size, a smaller shark won’t attack a human because an adult human is larger than they’re willing to risk, but once a shark reaches a certain size, we become fair game. Shark scientists say sharks will bite a human then release because they don’t like the taste, well this video disproves that. The shark attacked, then cam back to fully gobble the person up. Sharks hunt by detecting electrical pulses emitted by a preys heartbeat, meaning anything with a heart is a target, including us. Also, while this might be the first ever video of a full human consumption by a shark, there are records of it happening before.

God DAMN son, this is way more difficult to watch than I assumed it would be. As an avid shark enthusiast for my entire life (at 33 yrs old), this is far and away the most brutal, shark-relates video I've ever seen. As some others have commented, this may very well be the first and only video of a shark ACTUALLY consuming someone. Not just the initial attack, and then we know from reports that the victim was later partially or fully consumed, but the actual predation is IN the video. Fuck me this is horrifying. It was on another video where I saw the comment that led me here, and that comment said the white was a 17-footer. Now (and this is just my opinion), that shark doesn't look to me to be 17ft long. Judging from the dorsal and the tail, even though the shark is clearly turning when we see the fins, it still doesn't look THAT monstrous. But hell, if there's a report and it verifies that length, then wow. This will probably remain one of the rarest videos ever to be taken. Not just an attack, but a great white. Not just a white, but a massive one. Not just an attack, but someone being fully consumed. It just... there's no words. This is nightmarish.

It’s because we can all buy tuna right now…. And they can’t …

Not to mention if someone is fishing and he reels in a fish… marine predators that react to those ripples in the water. A fish struggling for example. Many fisherman get their catch eaten for that reason. We fished the oceans clean. We can all eat tuna each and every one of us can go out right now and buy tuna. Yet orkas are attacking sailboats because they can’t find tuna and tuna is endangered. You think they don’t see industrial fishing boats scooping up all the fish? They can’t attack steel boats so they attack sailboats as a act of rebellion. Now mind you I don’t think this shark is out to get humans like orcas they are not that intelligent … but a big hungry shark will easily eat any of us … if it’s for survival and I suspect with their source of food being taken we might start seeing this more and more.. as for this case.. as horrible as it is.. I think the biggest mistake he made was swimming where the fisherman was.. that fisherman is a good fisherman if he’s fishing in the same spot as a MASSIVE GREAT WHITE! I would say if he concluded the fishing is good here and so did the shark… I conclude that man is probably an excellent fisherman …

Imagine having to be worried about dying in public cause some dude WILL give 2 craps about you and record the worst moment in your life. I know he can’t help him but really? I’m here watching and nothings going to change that. That being said I think I’m not capable of filming or even thinking about pulling my phone out and recording. Who does that? Must be the generation born with these things and are consumed by them.

Imagine you just looked down and saw your body being devoured by a huge great white .. hundred razor sharp teeth shredding you dark eyes of the predator with nothing but instinct and survival motivating it. No compassion no laws no empathy no mercy. That “oh my God” was from the terror he saw in that moment.. I don’t wish on my worst enemies .. who knows maybe in that moment he was able to look to shore and pray and hope for some help and you see from the distance that tell tale silhouette of a human holding a camera phone recording you literally dying .. imagine how messed up that must be for him.

Even without the shark, this does not look like a safe place for casual swimming. Deep water, rough seas, and a rocky coastline. Was the deceased a triathlete? That type tends to consider themselves bulletproof. But I guess they’re not shark proof.

@@kamirupl No, not at all. He mentioned a lot of circumstantial factors that in his mind must mean that the attack was an accident. I just point out that he did not have a black wet suit on, which could make him look like a seal, judging on the video and that the shark came back several times to attack him, which does not point to the attack being an accident. Humans are not sharks preferred food, but it is not always a mistake when they attack humans. If you watch the KZread Channel Shark happens you will also see that some of the attacks are attempts of predation. The USS Indianapolis is also proof that sharks occasionally do attack humans on purpose.
