10 Shark Attacks You Won’t Believe

[Music] shark attacks are rare don't believe me statistics actually say that you are more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark but still ever since we saw the first Jaws movie getting gobbled up by a shark is always on the back of our minds every time we go to the beach or take a bath even at least that last one is for me behind every shark attack is an amazing story so let's talk about ten shark attacks you will not believe number one is quite a severe shark attack and the ending is nothing less than a miracle so watch out for that and of course spoiler some of these can be kind of violent with all that said and done let's begin shall we number 10 the unbelievable rescue if you ask me I consider that a mother's love her children to be the strongest most amazing force in the universe however a shark is kind of right behind that in my opinion time and time again we've seen mothers risk life and limb just to make sure that their children are safe in this entry we bear witness to motherly love so strong it was able to snatch a life away from the jaws of danger no pun intended it's kind of literal at this point vela lady and her then 15 year old daughter Sydney were at the New Smyrna Beach on March 14 2012 the mother-daughter duo was all set to spend some quality time at the beach the two women were paddling on their surfboards when the shark attack happened Sydney was immediately pulled underwater right in front of her horrified mother Sydney was able to get back on her board though but when she lifted her leg it was a crimson mess however the attack didn't stop there the sea creature pulled the girl again and tried to drag her away this was when valais decided that she wasn't going to let anything harm her daughter she grabbed Sydney shoulders and pulled hard and eventually she was able to get Sydney on her board and the two were fortunately helped by other surfers in the area number nine a different outcome remember how Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed became the best of friends no too young to have watched rocky well anyway they beat the crud out of one another in the first two movies then they became friends I know what you're thinking that wouldn't happen real-live had some Dragon Ball Z stuff don't write there how can you be buddies with a person who previously beat you up the truth is it actually does happen in this case it did although it didn't involve two prizefighters krishna thompson and his wife flew to the bahamas with the intent of celebrating their 10 year anniversary they were enjoying their day at the beach when krishna was suddenly bit by a shark on the lake and started to drag him into the open ocean by sheer will he was able to pry the shark's jaws apart and then he gave his attacker a few punches to the nose sending it scurrying away he survived the attack but his leg was subsequently amputated you would think that this incident would leave him with a bitter taste in his mouth hating the species that gave him his disability for the rest of his life however it was the complete opposite krishna fully accepts the fact that it wasn't the sharks fault that he was attacked humans have been rapidly encroaching into their territory making attacks more frequent he is actually now one of the greatest advocates for shark conservation if that isn't some massive story arc i don't know what is number eight i filmed my own horror story in 1964 amateur underwater photographer and filmmaker henry boris and two other divers were playing with some seals in the ocean off lady julia Percy Island on Australia I'm pretty sure I could have trailed off its seals and you all would have known what happened next suddenly a great white came up from under Boris and took off his legs his diving partners heard Boris scream and then saw his leg floating in the water they managed to give Boris back onto the boat and he was able to tell them his blood type which was radioed ahead to shore Boris later recounted that he tried to get his leg free by jamming his hand down the shark's throat and gouging its eyes Boris is an amateur an underwater photographer and filmmaker and a few years later he took the original film footage from the attack and reconstructed the other parts for a documentary called a savage shadows number 7 dolphins to the rescue brahmam house and three others were swimming a hundred meters off Ocean Beach in New Zealand when they were suddenly encircled by a pod of dolphins they thought they were being boarded off by a group of aggressive males that were protecting their calves the Dolphins were getting closer and closer as close as four centimeters away from the swimmers when house found an opening he started swimming away then one male dolphin saw him and submerged towards him this was when he looked down and he spotted a great white shark about two metres below them when the shark began to make a move towards them the Dolphins went into hyperdrive agitating the water around the swimmers house recounted that all he could see was a mass of fins back splashing water and human heads although it wasn't stated how but a rescue boat soon approached them which apparently drove the shark away preventing the worst case scenario they realized the dolphins were acting so strangely in order to confuse the shark preventing the attack ironically house and the three others were all lifeguards out on a training swim that day number 6 are you ready for your close-up wouldn't face with a dangerous situation like being attacked by a shark you only have your wits and or whatever is available to fend off for yourself and possibly save your life if you are an underwater photographer shooting one of the most aggressive sharks in the world of course you use your camera conservationist Russell Easton was photographing a 12-foot tiger shark in the Bahamas when he got the close-up he was not expecting he was looking through the camera's viewfinder taking photos of the beast when all of a sudden all he could see was a huge mouth and sharp teeth it was only because of the camera that he was not bitten he explains that biting is the only way for sharks to find out what something is and is the reason for many shark attacks he was just fortunate that the tiger shark was more curious about the camera than him giving him precious seconds to swim away this horrifying swim isn't without its rewards though he did manage to take a photo like no one else has the inside of a live 4 Rocha shark's mouth number five you bite my foot I'll punch your face as previously explained in the previous entry sharks take tiny bites on things that they are curious about before deciding if it's edible or not lucky for the guy in this entry he had the presence of mind and fists of stone to defend himself before the shark decided that he was going to be its next meal Joshua Hawley was surfing at his favorite spot off the coast of Oahu Hawaii's north shore when he felt a push on the left side of his body when he looked he spotted the unmistakable dorsal fin of a huge shark then he felt a pumping sensation in his foot he felt no pain and he said it was probably due to the adrenaline when the sharks submerged Holly knew he only had one course of action he had to defend himself or he was going to be the main course the shark came out this time on his right side but he was ready Holly gave the shark too strong right jabs of the nose forcing the shark atern tails went away number four a great comeback one of the most famous surfers on the planet and the subject of a Hollywood film a Bethany Hamilton shark attack is probably one of the most famous in all of history not because it was such a terrible tragedy but because it perfectly displays the strength and fortitude that we're capable of showing the surfer was riding waves at the age of 13 when a shark came up beside her and bit into her board its owner completely opposite the bite was so quick and clean that Hamilton reportedly didn't even realize what had happened until she heard her friends screaming and saw the red and the water around her she quickly rushed to the shore Hamilton was then taken to the hospital where her injuries were quickly seen - you might think that this kind of event could scar a young girl forever but not her Hamilton has gone on not only to continue surfing but also to become one of the most successful female surfers of all time wearing her scars is a symbol of overcoming odds and never letting any disability to stop anyone from doing what they want number three immortalized on canvas John Singleton Copley was the most renowned painter in colonial America although he was best known as a portrait artist one of his more famous paintings was called Watson and the shark this painting depicts a brutal scene of a fair-haired young boy reaching from the water for help as a large shark closes in on mouth open and ready for dinner Cobley bass is painting on an actual shark attack from 1749 the victim was Brooke Larson a 14 year old crew member of a trading ship that was docked in Havana Cuba Watson was swimming in the harbor one day when a shark attacked him not once but twice the good news his shipmates witnessed the attack and pulled him from the water saving his life the bad news they were a little late Watson lost his foot in the attack and later had the leg amputated below the knee Watson did however go on to lead a good full life serving in the house of parliament for nine years as well as becoming the Lord Mayor of London not to mention the notoriety received as being the first known shark attack survivor now it's time for the day's best ping today our photo shows a great light breaching the water in the act of attacking someone on shore now we know that's physically impossible for a shark that size to attack someone close to shore but that doesn't necessarily mean that attacks don't happened that close to shore just not on that level of violence number two what sharks in the shallows shallow water seems like a strange place for a shark attack after all they sometimes get so close to shore that they can barely move nonetheless it does happen well it's hard to say for sure why sharks attack in shallow water some species such as the bull shark like to feed in murky warm shallow waters on July 6 2001 a 7.4 foot 200 pound bull shark tore off the arm of an eight-year-old boy in Pensacola Florida the shark attacked in waist-deep water and took a bite off the boy's arm and thigh during the first pass the shark then clamped onto his arm while people on the beach wrestled with the shark it ripped the boy's arm off one man then pulled the shark ashore and shot at four times in the head cried open the mouth of the baton and reached in and pulled out the boy's arm the boy and his arm were rushed to the hospital the arm which was ripped off four inches from the shoulder was reattached but the loss of blood let the boy near death and caused brain damage the boy remained in a light coma when he was released from the hospital five weeks after the attack I saved the best for last but first I have a quick challenge that take 45 seconds if you can leave a like and subscribe within the next five second you'll get ten years of amazing luck just try it who really work number one then by the skin of his wetsuit Rodney Fonz the most famous shark attack victim in history why is that because of the extent of his injuries and the fact that he survived them on December 8th 1963 Fox was defending his Australian spearfishing title when a great white shark grabbed him around the middle and took him for a ride he was flying through the water upside-down trying to gouge the shark's eyes the shark released him and came back for more Fox jammed his arm down the throat of the Beast and pulled it free ripping the flesh from his arm the shark release him again and came back a third time dragging Fox along the ocean floor after nearly drowning Fox was released and pulled into a nearby boat his bones were visible on his right hand and arm and the hand alone required 94 stitches his rib cage lungs and upper stomach were all exposed his rescuers kept his wetsuit on which kept his internal organs from spilling out and may have saved his life as well he arrived at the hospital within an hour of the attack and somehow never went into shock miraculously his main arteries remained intact and after four hours of surgery and 360 stitches Fox lived to tell his tale stating that right after the attack his body was literally being held together by his wetsuit was having nightmares of being attacked by a shark let us know in the comments section down below wanna watch more amazing stories
