The Most Infamous Shark Attack Of All Time | Hurghada Shark Attack Red Sea | Short Documentary

Why did the shark venture?? Silly question..cause that's their habitat..it's not ours.

I agree that poor shark was pregnant and starving to death. She should have fed off more humans so she could deliver a healthy batch of baby tiger sharks

Seeing that frame rip from the video, as the under water view shows bookoo fish. No. Mr Popov was a thrill/play kill. ....( Bang Stikk)

Bottom line: if he hadn't been trespassing in the shark's natural habitat, he would still be alive.
Play with fire, you get burned.

Why did i just watch this the night before scuba diving in egypt

The fact that the shark did not have remains in the digestive tract other than the doctor only tells the shark may have not eaten in 4 days. Sharks can live on 0.5 to 3% of their body weight per day.

These people killed a starving, pregnant shark, because she attacked someone who came into her home. People are so entitled, and some wonder why the world is such a trainwreck.

The only reason shark attacks r rare is because not 1 person on earth lives underwater

Nothing different about this tiger shark .these r apex predators not sheep or goats nor cattle. They r not herd animals they r problem solvers, incredible hunters, they don't think we r seals. They fear 2 things. Larger sharks & orcas. We r neither & we r in their domain

I'm sorry, the shark was pregnant and in his territory, house!!! Why Popov went to far? I've never been in Egypt, but a normal person when he hears Egypt, Red sea and Indian ocean his mind goes creepy people, sharks and that is enough to be afraid. After that I don't want to see the Indian ocean.

Coming from a bio major and vet tech…yes this is very Sad, but I’m sorry you gotta remember going into the ocean there’s always a chance of things you can’t explain…..or a death that came naturally to those living under water

My heart goes out to Vlad's family and the shark as well sad and tragic all way around

Cannot show video due to YT policy?? Ive watched it a few times on YT.

If it was a close relative of mine, I still wouldn't blame the shark. Ocean is THEIR house, not ours.
And thanks to the typical caveman mentality & behavior of the locals, I am feeling more for the shark than the human victim now, though both are innocent.

I think we all need to realise there is no such thing as a 'safe beach', as his father claims Hurghada is. Mandatory law needs to make sure all swimming and surf beaches have shark netted areas.

Scientist will make any excuse to save a tourist hot spot. Sickening

Two women were killed in 2012 at another resort.

I can’t stand when people say shark attacks are rare. If a shark wants to eat you it will eat you.

So they are making money off that shark being on display in a museum? Really? Wow? How disturbingly sick is that profiting over that young boys tragic death. What kind of world we live in?

It's important to note that every time you set foot in the water your now a menu option

The over fishing 😢😢 makes much sense. As always humanity is also the creator of natural disasters.

I'm not going in the water again after seeing a full breakdown into the footage - no way - you say it's one in a million - I ain't taking that risk with them monsters down in the depths.

There is no proof that White Sharks are in the Red Sea. Please don't tell wrong things on such a channel where you want to tell us that this is a honest documentary. If you don't know it for sure, then don't tell it please. Lot of people watched this video and belief this wrong thing because of you.

Just because the shark had nothing in it's stomach doesn't mean it was starving. Sharks that big don't get that way from eating just fish. Sure humans over fish, but stop being dramatic. You people act like children and humanize these animals. That thing was massive and definitely wasn't starving.

its not the most infamous..US Navy ship in ww2...and in 1989 Off Thitu Island which i was present at with 2 navay vessels Royal Australian navy. were far worse

A license plate. It happened once, decades ago and people still site it like it happens all the time.

Don't believe there is any safe beach on the ocean. Sharks are everywhere. Being shallow does not matter. Maybe a little more common sense. That shark should not have been killed. You're swimming in the ocean where they live. Not right at all.

The shark should not have been killed. It was in its own environment. People should accept that they are at risk if they swim in these areas. We do not own the sea

It is a lovely picture of the young couple

I dont buy this whole "we are not prey, they dont like how we taste" argument. You may not like McDonalds but if you are hungry enough you will definitely eat it.

All that needs to happen is for a hungry enough shark to cross your path and you are done for. Does it require you to be extremely unlucky? Sure. But no way in hell am I taking the chance

There are big drop offs in that area, and that’s where sharks love to hunt. Once a shark gets up over 8 feet, they want to eat sea mammals and other large animals not just fish. Humans are the slowest animals in the seas, hence the easiest meal. You can’t really say she was starving just because she hadn’t eaten before grabbing a hold of Popov. But she was certainly very hungry and was willing to eat a bony human when apex predators prefer fatty seals. RIP, Vlad. I pray the adrenaline made it less painful.

Seen the footage raw. The video isn’t clear but you can tell the shark wanted him. You hear him shouting for his father too.
This new info makes sense on why the attack was so brutal.

I feel bad for the sharks and the guy. The guy wasn’t responsible for dumping and over fishing. Shark was starving. Unfortunately it and it’s pups were lost too.

Avoidable. Sustainable fishing needs to happen.

Yeah attacks are mistaken identity

What were those idiot lifeguards in their speedboat doing. Taking an hour coffee break,they should've been out there patrolling just for an. Incident like this to happen.

There's no safe beaches...

I was at snorkeling in the Red sea near Hurgada, I asked staff are they shure it's safe and if there are any sharks sometimes, they laughed at me saying - no, never, there are no sharks around, 😳well, they are🥺

If a shark is hungry it will eat people. Fact. Stop listening to the chorus of Shark Weaklings saying we arent on the menu. Or the ol' we dont taste good to them. We might not be their first choice sure. And the oceans are not fished out. Sometimes the fish arent there or sometimes the predator doesn't get the prey. Its a rough world, nature is.

You forgot the oceanic whitetip, which has attacked people in the red sea.

While stationed in Egypt 91-92, we traveled to Hurghada for a weekend. I snorkeled but swam out to the dark ledge…you could see 75-100ft. Scared the sht out of me. RIP.

If dude said he was mistaking for seal, then ya'll be saying he was mistaking for seal. Sheep

Sharks been attacking and eating man since the beginning of man. Full stop

I would't say 57 shark attacks are rare?

And how dare they embalm the poor animal .. she was doing what a man eater would do .. they embalmed her for money .. for greed .. no respect for the family of Vladimir ..

Heartbreaking for both Vladimir and the pregnant shark

I thought it wasnt pregnant, but it was starving. Vladimir really suffered, he had both arms taken right off the bat I think he had them out to try to protect himself, by the time he calls for help to his dad, he had no chance of surviving even if rescue got to him in time. From what the autopsy report said he had his face severely injured, I think his lower jaw and face were taken, then the shark came around and grabbed his shoulder and head, and took it from his body. It is one of the most awful tragic attacks Ive heard, and so traumatizing to all who saw it especially dad and girlfriend Im so sorry they had to see that.

Why did his girlfriend get out but he didn't??

That shark didn’t look starving to me and attacked and killed two other people the same week why don’t you tell people that had a different beach close by

You are so full of it is that why the thing swam around was half his body and its mouth for two hours and did not eat it they could not get his torso away from that shark for two hours. That’s why they drive it to the beach and beat it stop lying. They’re covering it up.
