I watched the original video of the attack. I have to admit it did shake me a little bit. I am a veteran, and I have seen a lot of really bad things, and I worked as a coroner and a mortician for years. When he was yelling for his father, while he was being torn apart, it bothered me. I cannot imagine being him or his father. I am good with never swimming in the ocean again. I love the beauty, but I want to see it from a dry place. My fear of the ocean is that you do not see what’s coming …coming until it’s too late. There are a lot of cases of tiger sharks, bull and great whites eating people completely, or returning again and again to feed off of a victim. I do not believe the whole…We are not on the menu lie. People trying to protect tourism dollars, are getting people hurt and ended. Y’all be safe. I would not recommend watching the video.
If Tiger sharks are found with porcupines, a Senegal drum, licence plates, tyres, and other really strange objects in their stomachs, we don't really stand a better chance.
His crying for his father got to me because you can't blame him for calling out to his Dad. But damn, if he had just yelled "help" or "AAAHH!" It wouldn't have put the burden of failure on his Dad like that. Dad is the ultimate protector. (For many, I understand not everyone feels this way) Poor Father, absolutely nothing he could do and now he will feel partly responsible no matter what anyone says. His child called for him and he'll never forgive himself for 'failing'
One of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. When he's crying "papa", and the dorsal rises behind him, it's horror movie time. Absolutely terrifying and sad. Sharks, along with land predators like lions, bears, large constrictor snakes, etc- do what they want. They cant read the biologists paper that says we aren't their normal prey. Regardless, they all deserve respect and protection.
In my opinion, if there were a competition for Best RUclips Video, I'd give it to this channel for the two-part U.S.S. Indianapolis story. I've never heard anyone recount the event even half as well as Hal did. It was a moving tribute.
When it takes him by the right shoulder really bugs me he could not fight at all due to being armless and from what things I've seen near faceless that shark brutalized him beyond the ability to do anything but scream and wait
I've watched it several times. It's one of the most fascinating and disturbing things I've ever seen. The Tiger was relentless. The first time I viewed the full uncensored video, I found it odd that Vladimir never used his arms to swim or wave for help. Upon viewing again, and watching some in-depth analysis of the attack, I realized his arms were already gone. Grizzly stuff.
Hal, a swimmer was killed by a great white off of Wild Cat beach in Point Reyes, CA on October 5th. Not a lot of details, but apparently he was swimming 50 yards off shore with a group of friends when the shark grabbed him and then vanished leaving only blood in the water. His remains have never been recovered. During the fall months the large adult white sharks return to the coast to hunt seals. Probably not a good time to swim even though the water was inviting. Quite a few surfers to the south, with a small swell, sunny and calm ocean conditions.
A similar attack last November in Southern California, a woman swimming off the coast of Del Mar. Luckily she survived but swimming offshore at a major JGW aggregation site during shark season? Umm, no thank you. There’s gotta be a local pool open somewhere.
I agree 100% with u about the public being aware!! Thanks for the updates. Every time I learn of a shark attack, if I’m interested in learning more, I come here to see if you’ve covered it yet. 👍🏽
Lots of Russians go to that Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt and other Egyptian peninsula towns. I was already aware of previous attacks that occurred there a few years back on other Russian people, a Mako shark that killed a Russian man and a rogue Oceanic Whitetip shark that killed a few people and attacked other Russians, a women I believe, if I remember correctly? So when I had an opportunity to go Holliday to Egypt with a few friends, I declined, I decided to go Croatia instead. I'm glad I made the right decision that time.
Finally hal thank god u are safe i get annoyed with a lot of the shark channels they are all about sensationaliism with u we get the real story glad you are back
They seem to be at either the extreme end in sensationalizing or the opposite end in having the view of a somewhat friendly fish. Not many in between that i see snd that is why Baldridge is my favorite all time investigator/analyst

@marinacarroll6142 I'm sorry people, they saw, heard that the Red sea is full of sharks... Where did they go??? Egyptians dont say the truth. They always say, no sharks in this area and in that full of sharks. If they say yes we have sharks, they will destroy the tourism. On opposite Popov went to far away, passed the protective nets. In those areas are predators. A normal person is afraid to swimm in Hurgarda, red Sea. You hear about shark attacks and you swim... there? 98% something will eat you.
@@Nicole2023 Why always everyone says, poor soul, poor guy, r.i.p etc... Who's fault this is, who went to far away from the beach, who went surfing in those dangerous waters in the open ocean, who was snorkeling, kayaking when everyone knows the dangers of sharks. I live in Greece, all people said that we don't have sharks, the waters are clear. Do you know Why people thought that we don't have predators??? Because of the money the islands need tourism. Check about the areas we have sharks and the fatal deaths. We have the great white, all the species come through the Suez canal, from Australia, the Gibraltar. When i swim i don't go very far from the beach. Ionian sea is very dangerous.
Great to see you Hal and great content as usual. People need to be aware of the dangers out there....... PERIOD!!! It is ridiculous that the cities hide information about attacks. We need to be aware and then we can make our own decisions. You need to keep at this and keep speaking up about this. You are very much appreciated and we all love you and what you are doing my friend.
What a GREAT show. Thanks for touching on Cameron and Popov's attack. Hard to get those videos outta your head. That's harrowing to know his girlfriend was in the water in close proximity to him. You're back in your element and dang, does that make us happy!
Wow you’re back , I hunt for youre videos in my notifications, I don’t know what’s happening , but we in our house we missed youre videos , youre such a nice guy , and pleasant to watch , I mean you know how to come across to the viewer , not loud and hectic , it’s like sitting in a room with a best friend just chatting away . I love youre videos welcome back Hal
You are awesome, Hal! I got scared because I haven't gotten a notification of any new videos in a while. I'm glad to see you still posting videos. Please, for the love of God, keep pumping them out. I look forward to all your videos.
I can't get over watching Vladamir 's attack. It was so brutal, so awful I had nightmares. Calling for his dad was so sad, but I'm sorry I would have run on water to get to him if it was my son. The shark can have me instead. I couldn't have just watched. This attack has made my mind up i will never go in the sea ever again, I only went up to my knees, but won't be doing that again. I agree Hal, These attacks are not mistaken identity. Poor Cameron, the boy eaten alive after jumping off a boat for a dare, was attacked by numerous sharks. A big shark, a bull or tiger, which they said wasn't there nor was he attacked. The cover up is astonishing, he was eaten alive. Glad to see you again Hal. Love your show! 🐋🐋🐬🐬
I honestly think that people, even adolescent children, NEED to watch this video and be educated. People are far too blissfully ignorant about the ocean. It’s true that it’s very unlikely to be killed by a shark, but people must be aware of the risk.
Ich sehe und spüre das auch so. Vladimir hat bei mir viel verändert...das hat mich traumatisiert und tut es noch. Ich habe große Probleme, seit ich das aus Versehen gesehen habe habe. Weiß auch noch nicht, wie ich in Zukunft damit klarkommen soll.. Liebe Grüße an alle, die mich verstehen ❤
I was talking to my son about it. I said “the perfect example of parental love, is that I’d go in after you, if you were calling for me….. you wouldn’t get in for me” and he said “Mum…. I think that’s exactly right” 😂
@@india1422 If one of mine was in trouble, even if it was a shark, I know I’d get in. I’d rather die than live without them. If I can save them and die, I’d be happier than the alternative.
I live (and grew up for 18 years) in a beach city. I spent many years riding my bike to Redondo Beach, Rat beach, burnout, etc. I spent years in the waters bodyboarding, surfing, and just all around fun in the sun as a kid. The only bite we had was when some douc*ebags hooked a shark and dragged it into some swimmers and a man was badly bitten in Hermosa/Manhattan beach area. I watched Jaws several times, and even had the utterly remorseful experience of seeing Jaws 3-D in theaters (although I would gladly relive that night today) and I can remember getting the heebeejeebies in my swimming pool if I was alone in the deep end thinking about Jaws coming and biting my legs off. I've seen horrific accidents in my days as a tow truck operator in Seattle, and watched them hose blood into the gutters, pick scalp bone and gray matter out of seats so I could turn the steering wheel (what was left of it) to load a F150 that was in 3 major pieces. To actually stand on a beach and witness a human being fighting for their life, without the use of their arms (Mr. Popov lost his arms quite early in the attack as that is what Tiger sharks like to take first) as you can see him trying desperately to use his legs to get away and failing, while crying for his Dad....would probably haunt my sleep for many years. I saw the aftermath; the attack was gruesome, yes...but his headless corpse with bites of thigh removed, arms removed...puts into perspective just where we really are on the menu while we swim in the oceans. I doubt I will ever return to the water, even if my little area of Redondo Beach is "safe".
Love having you back Hal! Horrible attack… I saw the full unedited video… was haunting and horrifying and just flat out…. Tragic for everyone that witnessed, but particularly the father and his girlfriend.
Wonderful to see you back! Hope things are going better for you. I really missed you and all the great videos. It appears you had some very lucky people escape the jaws of death. Welcome back!!!! 🥰🦈
Hi Hal. I've been checking your channel regularly. I even did it this morning before your upload. Anyway I'm so glad that you are getting back into it. You are the best shark channel. I love your laid-back style and I even get a few giggles. Try and keep positive. You have got a lot of great subscribers. We love your channel.🦈
Glad there will be more Shark Happen! RUclips is getting very boring with everyone cutting back. I get it. They want to have a real life, not just a RUclips life. And the restructuring has actually started to hurt RUclips. I've been getting bored and thinking I might just skip it and go back to boring FB. Just a few channels pop in enough to keep me here, channels like yours. I love most things shark. Politics is why I'm here. I don't need my blood pressure boiling. I come here to relax. Yes, sharks make me relax as do other odd channels. Your voice is a natural storytellers voice. It's relaxing. Thank You for all you do!
I don’t think Popov had his arms anymore by the end of the video. It makes sense if his hand(s) had already been taken. Tigers take human limbs first all the time. At the end, the shark comes up and actually bites his shoulder and drives him underwater for the last time. Popov is still treading water but does NOTHING to strike back at the shark.. Looks like he was just kicking to stay afloat. Right before the shoulder bite the shark bumps him sideways and he does nothing with his arms. No attempt to separate or strike the water (like Cameron Robbins did in the first part of the video). Probably also why he didn’t call out anymore. It’s hard to yell or say anything when you are just kicking with your legs to keep your head above water.
Looks like the shark attacked his extremities first. I saw a photo of Valimir's remains on Reddit before they took it down. He was decapitated at the shoulders (no arms). A bite to the chest and stomach area. He had a massive bite taken out of his left thigh. The photo didn't show his legs below his knees.
Spot on analysis of the attack. I said the same thing on another thread. After it flipped and bumped him, as he is trying to get away there is no flailing of arms or frantic splashing. Poor dudes arms were already gone. I saw another angle of the initial attack and the initial massive splash of blood-filled water could have only happened from a limbing being torn off and massive exsanguanation. I’m a veteran and a former trauma nurse and this attack (and photos of the aftermath) was by far the most gruesome thing I have ever seen. RIP Vladimir.
Oh you can literally see at some point he makes the movement you would to like lung away from something in the water but doesn't have the arms to Also that motion you see before the tiger shark takes him by the shoulder isn't a bump its the sheer mass of the shark displacing the water as it moves past him along with the tail pushing water around him
Great to see you back with a new vid Hal! Glad you covered The juvenile GW attack on 64 yr old Pam Cook. Imo the trademark GW initial test bite/tug or even rub since sometimes they will just bump someone has gotta be the creepiest tactic. Glad it was just a juvenile but man, obviously they are checking to see if this is prey/food before going into attack mode but it really is horrifying. Like Psss hey down here or tag your it. Only to be scrambling in fear trying to process what is happening while an apex predator lines up a kill shot. Creepy as hell, I’d rather have zero knowledge of anything being near me than turn around or look down & see a submarine with teeth just casually pondering if I’m worth the energy.
Hal, you are not an idiot! Utube is! Keep on keeping on. I know I’ll be looking every single day for a new episode from you, and when a new one comes out it’s gonna be like winning the lottery.
Hi Hal !! So good to see you again . I've checked your Channel several times in the past couple of Months to make sure I am still Subscribed and not missing your new weekly Videos . Whatever was going on I hope you made it thru on the good end of it . And it's really great to know you're doing well enough to make a new Video . And now I'm going to watch your new Video . 🎸
Hal, I agree with you💯 about the public having a right to know just what they're getting into when entering the water, the facts, not opinions. Allow the people to decide for themselves whether they'll chance swimming and possibly being added to a shark's menu, or its _mistaken identity category._ _Edited for typo_
Thank you for speaking the truth about sharks. People deserve to know. The Egypt shark attack was deeply disturbing. I felt so awful for him and his father. Bless him, RIP. 🙏🏻 🕊️
Hal you know we love you and your show. And "yes" we always stay until the end! And "yes" we will all see at least 600 more shows! I never really realized how dangerous it is going into the ocean and how easily you can become a shark attack victim. Thanks to you for your knowledge and expertise in trying to keep us all safe. My son (22 years old) and his friends ALL watch your show and now are going to Mexico in 8 days. I feel so much better knowing that because of YOU those boys learned how to be safer in the ocean. Can't wait for the next show!
Hal. Youre doing great man. We love the videos and happy to see you back at it. Earlier this year with the attack on Cameron and Vladimir, I immediately couldn't wait to hear your take. Glad you're focusing on this and not youtube's algorithms.
Welcome back Hal! Miss you and your shows, video's etc! Keep up with the great work man! 👍👏 You're are the best King 👑 Hal!!!! So glad to see you back!!! 💙💙🩵🩵 Love your shows and stories! ❤
We miss you so much Hal!! There isn’t anybody else who tells the TRUTH on these attacks! They all try to make these sharks out to be cuddly little harmless creatures. It’s so infuriating! So THANK YOU for all you do with this channel!!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
@@kheventplanner yeah, but not “all” as claimed. The best channel is Shark Bytes, who did a collab with Hal, he calls it what it is and has the degree to back up his studies. His video calling out Ocean Ramsey was brilliant.
Great to see you back again Hal as I have missed your accurate accounting of shark attacks. 🦈 It's an important deterrint for the public and I agree with you. I no longer swim in the ocean, I'd rather admire it from dry land. The mystery that lies under the sea remains in braver hands than mine. So..thank you Hal for coming back and fighting to put these facts together for us all. You are providing a great service by educationing the public on the dangers swimming in the sea. I 💛 appreciate what you are doing, and hope you never stop. Ty again Sir.
I was Lobster grabbing in the keys back in the seventies. Tide was going out and visibility was about 4 ft. When I surfaced all these Cubans fishing on the bridge work yelling at me get out of the water I had a 17-footer circling me and I never seen it until I got out of the water and back on the bridge it was a monster .
Thank you Hal for a number one video. Once again! I'm so glad you're getting it together and I have been missing your shows greatly. I am one of your biggest fans. Keep it going. Keep pushing, and keep well!
I have friends who were in the water surfing at the same time as Tadashi... he could well have been as close as 10m from shore at Shelly Beach, because the waves at Ballina Headland come in quite close. There is a memorial to him near where it happened.
I read a report that he was attacked by a 3-4 meter white shark. Both legs were severed and that's not the work of a Bronze Whaler (aka Copper or Narrow Tooth shark).
Hi Hal, C from Wichita falls Tx. Thanks for another great video! I look forward to your new video's. It's 3:22 A.M. I had a serious fall on cement and suffered a concussion and can't sleep more than 5 hours so I'm so glad that I can watch your videos. Great job, please keep up the excellent work your doing in making your videos.
When it's said that there hasn't been a shark attack in this location for decades then one day someone gets totally consumed there..those decades of no attacks statement is beyond ludicrous to put to others in the first place.
Bingo 🎯 I couldn’t agree more. That’s just a mind game tactic to save face on the fact that most ppl are only worried about their own asses so it’s like they are saying “Hey! This person was eaten by a shark but the odds of it happening to you are low (cough cough unless ur the guy that was just eaten… not so good of chances for them.. but hey fuck them buy something please) so come on down to white shark cafe on the beach I don’t mean to joke but that’s basically what I get from it.
@jm484 Exactly..even urinating when swimming in the ocean will trigger off those same shark sensors that pick up blood in the water and draw the curious monsters in.
It's as pointless as saying the shark was mistaken. That it misidentified the person, thought they were a seal. Well that's not much comfort to the dead person. Or family. The main point is that if you go in the water, you might die a horrible death. This thing might chew you up and drown you etc. It might be a "lovable family shark that just made a mistake"! Say whatever excuse you like. It doesn't change the fact that it can and does happen. On purpose or mistake, I don't want biting in half! When that's a possibility, people should be able to see the results of those "mistakes", as Hal said in the video. To see what they are REALLY up against. Lying, misinforming and hiding video evidence isn't really fair
Great show Hal, from start to finish. I don't know what the viewers like me are going to do once youtube kills all the channels we love. Thanks Hal for providing content for those of us that is considered unvaluable to youtube. I have actual paper receipts from things I purchased by clicking on an ad that was on a channel I was watching. No Fake receipts here, all paper with packing slips too. 😂Thanks again Hal, see ya on the next one.
So glad u went over the Cameron Robbins story. I've watched those videos hundreds of times in all different speed and filters. 💯 a shark attack. U can actually pause it and see the shark clearly biting his legs.
Hey Hal, video appeared at top of my RUclips main page pretty much as soon as you'd posted it, was just a bit late here in the UK (3AM-ish) to start watching it. Just so you know. Another great episode, cheers!
I’ve missed you lately but glad to see you’re rolling out a few videos. Thanks for the content. I’m glad I never made the what were you thinking portion of your show. I done something stupid when I was young and drunk. I jumped in the ocean at night during a storm and got caught in a rip current. Thank God I got slammed into the last pole on the pier and was able to jump with the waves from pole to pole to get back in. Very scary and very stupid.
Anyone else have the original Jaws toy game? I remember a skull, camera, wagon wheel (or ship wheel), fish bones, a lantern, a radio. You had a long hook to get the pieces out of Jaw's mouth. The shark's mouth could snap shut making us jump. What a fun game. Missed you, Hal!
I had that game as a kid. Have always been obsessed with sharks from a young age. I threw a tantrum when I was little as dad wouldn't take me to see jaws with my brother and sister. Lol.
I watched the original video of the attack. I have to admit it did shake me a little bit. I am a veteran, and I have seen a lot of really bad things, and I worked as a coroner and a mortician for years. When he was yelling for his father, while he was being torn apart, it bothered me.

There are a lot of cases of tiger sharks, bull and great whites eating people completely, or returning again and again to feed off of a victim. I do not believe the whole…We are not on the menu lie. People trying to protect tourism dollars, are getting people hurt and ended. Y’all be safe. I would not recommend watching the video.
These beaches will be open on the Fourth of July!

@@scottbubb2946 what I was going to compliment as well. Was a deeply harrowing and moving experience that really was worthy of a major documentary.
@@scottbubb2946 absolutely nailed it
The attack in Egypt was truly eye opening... The part that bothered me the most was when the shark turned him upside down.. legs out of the water
When it takes him by the right shoulder really bugs me he could not fight at all due to being armless and from what things I've seen near faceless that shark brutalized him beyond the ability to do anything but scream and wait
Correct, I live in Hawaii,after seeing the Vladimir Popov shark attack, I will NEVER SWIM In ocean again,RIP Tamayo
I don’t think it was predatory, I think it was just over seeing people in it’s water

Who's fault this is, who went to far away from the beach, who went surfing in those dangerous waters in the open ocean, who was snorkeling, kayaking when everyone knows the dangers of sharks. I live in Greece, all people said that we don't have sharks, the waters are clear. Do you know Why people thought that we don't have predators??? Because of the money the islands need tourism. Check about the areas we have sharks and the fatal deaths. We have the great white, all the species come through the Suez canal, from Australia, the Gibraltar. When i swim i don't go very far from the beach. Ionian sea is very dangerous.
You saw*
Quit watching RUclips while at work and be productive.
Great to see you Hal and great content as usual. People need to be aware of the dangers out there....... PERIOD!!! It is ridiculous that the cities hide information about attacks. We need to be aware and then we can make our own decisions. You need to keep at this and keep speaking up about this. You are very much appreciated and we all love you and what you are doing my friend.
How in THE HELL do we know that we're not on the menu...crazy talk. Shark's hungry...someone's snorkeling...bubye.
Great show Hal, fantastic to have you back!
Great show, so glad to see a new video. Long time fan and missed you!
Missed you all as well
Oh cool a new one! Excited to watch! Glad you’re still uploading. I know you were upset there for a while. Hope everything is going good Hal!
Love your content Hal! Your the best!
What a GREAT show. Thanks for touching on Cameron and Popov's attack. Hard to get those videos outta your head. That's harrowing to know his girlfriend was in the water in close proximity to him. You're back in your element and dang, does that make us happy!
Agree
Hal!!!!! I've missed you!!! Thanks for bringing the sharks back!
Wow you’re back , I hunt for youre videos in my notifications, I don’t know what’s happening , but we in our house we missed youre videos , youre such a nice guy , and pleasant to watch , I mean you know how to come across to the viewer , not loud and hectic , it’s like sitting in a room with a best friend just chatting away . I love youre videos welcome back Hal
Hal! Been missing you. You have a genuine gift as a great storyteller. Please keep it up.
Do you have a genuine gift of generosity? I could use some dough ,donate 25$- Hal
Great to see u again, Hal! Greetings from Hong Kong~the scene of a series of fatal attacks in the mid 90s, as I'm sure u know!
Wow! Hong Kong! That is awesome!
I think i covered 2 of them so far
Hal! Nice to see you man. I have been on a re-watch of all your old videos. Glad to see you posting hope all is well with you
Another fantastic show, Hal! Sharks Happen is my favorite! Glad to hear 600 episodes to come! Looking forward to seeing them! 😊
You are awesome, Hal! I got scared because I haven't gotten a notification of any new videos in a while. I'm glad to see you still posting videos. Please, for the love of God, keep pumping them out. I look forward to all your videos.
That clock with the shark teeth is awesome.
Meg teeth…
Heeey!!! You are still in my feed!! It’s been forever!! Glad to see ur still kickin’, Hal!! ❤ much love
Hi Hal, thank you for the video ❤. You been missed.
I can't get over watching Vladamir 's attack. It was so brutal, so awful I had nightmares. Calling for his dad was so sad, but I'm sorry I would have run on water to get to him if it was my son. The shark can have me instead. I couldn't have just watched. This attack has made my mind up i will never go in the sea ever again, I only went up to my knees, but won't be doing that again. I agree Hal, These attacks are not mistaken identity. Poor Cameron, the boy eaten alive after jumping off a boat for a dare, was attacked by numerous sharks. A big shark, a bull or tiger, which they said wasn't there nor was he attacked. The cover up is astonishing, he was eaten alive. Glad to see you again Hal. Love your show! 🐋🐋🐬🐬
I honestly think that people, even adolescent children, NEED to watch this video and be educated. People are far too blissfully ignorant about the ocean. It’s true that it’s very unlikely to be killed by a shark, but people must be aware of the risk.
I don’t know what I would do. We can say we would swap ourselves. Could I swap myself in for lunch??
Ich sehe und spüre das auch so. Vladimir hat bei mir viel verändert...das hat mich traumatisiert und tut es noch.
Ich habe große Probleme, seit ich das aus Versehen gesehen habe habe.
Weiß auch noch nicht, wie ich in Zukunft damit klarkommen soll..
Liebe Grüße an alle, die mich verstehen ❤
I was talking to my son about it. I said “the perfect example of parental love, is that I’d go in after you, if you were calling for me….. you wouldn’t get in for me” and he said “Mum…. I think that’s exactly right” 😂
@@india1422 If one of mine was in trouble, even if it was a shark, I know I’d get in. I’d rather die than live without them. If I can save them and die, I’d be happier than the alternative.
I live (and grew up for 18 years) in a beach city. I spent many years riding my bike to Redondo Beach, Rat beach, burnout, etc. I spent years in the waters bodyboarding, surfing, and just all around fun in the sun as a kid. The only bite we had was when some douc*ebags hooked a shark and dragged it into some swimmers and a man was badly bitten in Hermosa/Manhattan beach area. I watched Jaws several times, and even had the utterly remorseful experience of seeing Jaws 3-D in theaters (although I would gladly relive that night today) and I can remember getting the heebeejeebies in my swimming pool if I was alone in the deep end thinking about Jaws coming and biting my legs off.
I've seen horrific accidents in my days as a tow truck operator in Seattle, and watched them hose blood into the gutters, pick scalp bone and gray matter out of seats so I could turn the steering wheel (what was left of it) to load a F150 that was in 3 major pieces.
To actually stand on a beach and witness a human being fighting for their life, without the use of their arms (Mr. Popov lost his arms quite early in the attack as that is what Tiger sharks like to take first) as you can see him trying desperately to use his legs to get away and failing, while crying for his Dad....would probably haunt my sleep for many years. I saw the aftermath; the attack was gruesome, yes...but his headless corpse with bites of thigh removed, arms removed...puts into perspective just where we really are on the menu while we swim in the oceans.
I doubt I will ever return to the water, even if my little area of Redondo Beach is "safe".
Hi Hal,
Nice to see u again...
I was wondering how you felt about the attack in Egypt...
Much love 😍 from Taylor, Michigan
Greenville, Michigan here!
Glad to see you again Hal❤
Haven’t seen you for a while. Glad to see you back, Hal.
Love having you back Hal! Horrible attack… I saw the full unedited video… was haunting and horrifying and just flat out…. Tragic for everyone that witnessed, but particularly the father and his girlfriend.
Wonderful to see you back! Hope things are going better for you. I really missed you and all the great videos. It appears you had some very lucky people escape the jaws of death. Welcome back!!!! 🥰🦈
It's great to see you back. My favorite u-tube show.
Hey Hal great to see back and I definitely appreciate your time on these videos 😊
More videos!! That is music to my ears! You are one of the only reasons I even watch youtube. Your work is awesome! Thanks for all your work!!
Hi Hal. I've been checking your channel regularly. I even did it this morning before your upload. Anyway I'm so glad that you are getting back into it. You are the best shark channel. I love your laid-back style and I even get a few giggles. Try and keep positive. You have got a lot of great subscribers. We love your channel.🦈
Glad there will be more Shark Happen! RUclips is getting very boring with everyone cutting back. I get it. They want to have a real life, not just a RUclips life. And the restructuring has actually started to hurt RUclips. I've been getting bored and thinking I might just skip it and go back to boring FB. Just a few channels pop in enough to keep me here, channels like yours. I love most things shark. Politics is why I'm here. I don't need my blood pressure boiling. I come here to relax. Yes, sharks make me relax as do other odd channels. Your voice is a natural storytellers voice. It's relaxing. Thank You for all you do!
I don’t think Popov had his arms anymore by the end of the video. It makes sense if his hand(s) had already been taken. Tigers take human limbs first all the time. At the end, the shark comes up and actually bites his shoulder and drives him underwater for the last time. Popov is still treading water but does NOTHING to strike back at the shark.. Looks like he was just kicking to stay afloat. Right before the shoulder bite the shark bumps him sideways and he does nothing with his arms. No attempt to separate or strike the water (like Cameron Robbins did in the first part of the video). Probably also why he didn’t call out anymore. It’s hard to yell or say anything when you are just kicking with your legs to keep your head above water.
Looks like the shark attacked his extremities first. I saw a photo of Valimir's remains on Reddit before they took it down. He was decapitated at the shoulders (no arms). A bite to the chest and stomach area. He had a massive bite taken out of his left thigh. The photo didn't show his legs below his knees.
I thought the same. You can see he's trying to swim away but not using his arms, so I assumed they had already been taken.
Spot on analysis of the attack. I said the same thing on another thread. After it flipped and bumped him, as he is trying to get away there is no flailing of arms or frantic splashing. Poor dudes arms were already gone. I saw another angle of the initial attack and the initial massive splash of blood-filled water could have only happened from a limbing being torn off and massive exsanguanation. I’m a veteran and a former trauma nurse and this attack (and photos of the aftermath) was by far the most gruesome thing I have ever seen. RIP Vladimir.
@@markmailander3880the photos I saw showed his full body and below the knees was all intact
Oh you can literally see at some point he makes the movement you would to like lung away from something in the water but doesn't have the arms to
Also that motion you see before the tiger shark takes him by the shoulder isn't a bump its the sheer mass of the shark displacing the water as it moves past him along with the tail pushing water around him
Great to see you back with a new vid Hal! Glad you covered The juvenile GW attack on 64 yr old Pam Cook. Imo the trademark GW initial test bite/tug or even rub since sometimes they will just bump someone has gotta be the creepiest tactic. Glad it was just a juvenile but man, obviously they are checking to see if this is prey/food before going into attack mode but it really is horrifying. Like Psss hey down here or tag your it. Only to be scrambling in fear trying to process what is happening while an apex predator lines up a kill shot. Creepy as hell, I’d rather have zero knowledge of anything being near me than turn around or look down & see a submarine with teeth just casually pondering if I’m worth the energy.
Hal, you are not an idiot! Utube is! Keep on keeping on. I know I’ll be looking every single day for a new episode from you, and when a new one comes out it’s gonna be like winning the lottery.
Hi Hal !! So good to see you again . I've checked your Channel several times in the past couple of Months to make sure I am still Subscribed and not missing your new weekly Videos . Whatever was going on I hope you made it thru on the good end of it . And it's really great to know you're doing well enough to make a new Video . And now I'm going to watch your new Video . 🎸
Hal, I agree with you💯 about the public having a right to know just what they're getting into when entering the water, the facts, not opinions. Allow the people to decide for themselves whether they'll chance swimming and possibly being added to a shark's menu, or its _mistaken identity category._
_Edited for typo_
Thank you for speaking the truth about sharks. People deserve to know. The Egypt shark attack was deeply disturbing. I felt so awful for him and his father. Bless him, RIP. 🙏🏻 🕊️
Great to see you, and another great show. 😊
The “dinosaur-sized” shark attack you were thinking of was Lloyd Skinner. That one has always stayed with me bc of how shallow it was.
How shallow was it?
@@rockyevans1584from what ive read, just about wasit deep. Maybe chest deep. Lloyd was apparently tall, so maybe metre and half or so deep?
Great to have you back hal brilliant show best one on u tube all best from uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hal you know we love you and your show. And "yes" we always stay until the end! And "yes" we will all see at least 600 more shows! I never really realized how dangerous it is going into the ocean and how easily you can become a shark attack victim. Thanks to you for your knowledge and expertise in trying to keep us all safe. My son (22 years old) and his friends ALL watch your show and now are going to Mexico in 8 days. I feel so much better knowing that because of YOU those boys learned how to be safer in the ocean. Can't wait for the next show!
Missed ya. Glad you’re back
Hal. Youre doing great man. We love the videos and happy to see you back at it. Earlier this year with the attack on Cameron and Vladimir, I immediately couldn't wait to hear your take. Glad you're focusing on this and not youtube's algorithms.
Welcome back Hal! Miss you and your shows, video's etc! Keep up with the great work man! 👍👏 You're are the best King 👑 Hal!!!! So glad to see you back!!! 💙💙🩵🩵 Love your shows and stories! ❤
Hey Hal glad to see you are posting your videos! I have missed seeing your show. Welcome back
Yay!! Glad you are back. Thanks for the great content!
My man Hal back at it again with the quality content!
Immediately came looking for this comment!
Howdo mate.
You are the best Hal. So glad you back again💗💗💗
We miss you so much Hal!! There isn’t anybody else who tells the TRUTH on these attacks! They all try to make these sharks out to be cuddly little harmless creatures. It’s so infuriating! So THANK YOU for all you do with this channel!!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Who is they? Sure, some downplay it (negative encounters, etc) but only absolute idiots buy that argument these days.
@nqgamer there's quite a few channels that try to paint sharks in a harmless light
@@nqgameridk if you've been under a rock or something else, but there's a lot of idiots out there these days.
@@johnneal7169 nah, but that’s on them for being either stupid or ignorant.
@@kheventplanner yeah, but not “all” as claimed. The best channel is Shark Bytes, who did a collab with Hal, he calls it what it is and has the degree to back up his studies. His video calling out Ocean Ramsey was brilliant.
Great to see you back again Hal as I have missed your accurate accounting of shark attacks. 🦈 It's an important deterrint for the public and I agree with you. I no longer swim in the ocean, I'd rather admire it from dry land. The mystery that lies under the sea remains in braver hands than mine. So..thank you Hal for coming back and fighting to put these facts together for us all. You are providing a great service by educationing the public on the dangers swimming in the sea. I 💛 appreciate what you are doing, and hope you never stop. Ty again Sir.
I was Lobster grabbing in the keys back in the seventies. Tide was going out and visibility was about 4 ft. When I surfaced all these Cubans fishing on the bridge work yelling at me get out of the water I had a 17-footer circling me and I never seen it until I got out of the water and back on the bridge it was a monster .
Thanks for the upload, Hal!
Yaah! Hal, I'm looking forward to more videos! Thanks for the great stories!
Thank you Hal for a number one video. Once again! I'm so glad you're getting it together and I have been missing your shows greatly. I am one of your biggest fans. Keep it going. Keep pushing, and keep well!
Hal PLEASE keep posting!! Good to see you back!!
Hi and thank you for the informative, terrifying and educational video! Always love your content ❤
I have friends who were in the water surfing at the same time as Tadashi... he could well have been as close as 10m from shore at Shelly Beach, because the waves at Ballina Headland come in quite close. There is a memorial to him near where it happened.
I read a report that he was attacked by a 3-4 meter white shark. Both legs were severed and that's not the work of a Bronze Whaler (aka Copper or Narrow Tooth shark).
Missed you Hal right to the point 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Hal, really enjoyed the video.
Your show is fun, and delivered in an engaging way. The tagline you made is the best.
Good to see you back. I really enjoy your vids!! 👍
So glad to see you back. One of my top 5 channels!
Hey Hal Good timing. 👍❤
Hi Hal, C from Wichita falls Tx. Thanks for another great video! I look forward to your new video's. It's 3:22 A.M. I had a serious fall on cement and suffered a concussion and can't sleep more than 5 hours so I'm so glad that I can watch your videos. Great job, please keep up the excellent work your doing in making your videos.
When it's said that there hasn't been a shark attack in this location for decades then one day someone gets totally consumed there..those decades of no attacks statement is beyond ludicrous to put to others in the first place.
Yes, same with an attack being rare. Fails to matter if your the one attacked
Bingo 🎯 I couldn’t agree more. That’s just a mind game tactic to save face on the fact that most ppl are only worried about their own asses so it’s like they are saying “Hey! This person was eaten by a shark but the odds of it happening to you are low (cough cough unless ur the guy that was just eaten… not so good of chances for them.. but hey fuck them buy something please) so come on down to white shark cafe on the beach I don’t mean to joke but that’s basically what I get from it.
That is a lie. Some women were attacked an so believe killed? Same location. People must fish off the pier.
@jm484 Exactly..even urinating when swimming in the ocean will trigger off those same shark sensors that pick up blood in the water and draw the curious monsters in.
It's as pointless as saying the shark was mistaken. That it misidentified the person, thought they were a seal. Well that's not much comfort to the dead person. Or family. The main point is that if you go in the water, you might die a horrible death. This thing might chew you up and drown you etc. It might be a "lovable family shark that just made a mistake"! Say whatever excuse you like. It doesn't change the fact that it can and does happen. On purpose or mistake, I don't want biting in half! When that's a possibility, people should be able to see the results of those "mistakes", as Hal said in the video. To see what they are REALLY up against. Lying, misinforming and hiding video evidence isn't really fair
THANK YOU HAL!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 We love your videos so much. Thank you for wishing Jared a happy birthday!!! Glad you’re back!
Great show Hal, from start to finish. I don't know what the viewers like me are going to do once youtube kills all the channels we love. Thanks Hal for providing content for those of us that is considered unvaluable to youtube. I have actual paper receipts from things I purchased by clicking on an ad that was on a channel I was watching. No Fake receipts here, all paper with packing slips too. 😂Thanks again Hal, see ya on the next one.
Back with a bang Hal! Great video.
So glad u went over the Cameron Robbins story. I've watched those videos hundreds of times in all different speed and filters. 💯 a shark attack. U can actually pause it and see the shark clearly biting his legs.
Enjoyed your show as always and glad to hear that there will be a lot of them coming! I'll be checking my notifications. Thx Hal Patty❤
Hi Hal. great one today. Queston, have you crossed reference these attacks with earthquakes in the same or close too the area.
No i havent. I havent paid much attn to quakes other than the Japan reactor situation and Haiti i think it was.
Glad to see your videos popping back up , can’t tell you how much we love listening to you Hal 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
That's a cool shark tooth clock. I really like that.
Janey Hal, talk about building suspense for your return! Glad you’re back. I’ve been listening to Jim Corbett man eater tiger & leopard stories.
I absolutely love this channel. Great work Hal!! Excellent content as usual. ❤
Love this channel. Being a life saver in Aus the more you know about behaviour the better
Finally! We missed you Hal. Please keep them coming🦈
Hail I miss your video's. I don't see them that often, but when I do I love watching them. Thank you for making them.
Hi Hal, hope you're looking into (the curiously unconfirmed) fatal shark attack of Felix Louis N'jai Oct 1 this year, Point Reyes, N Cali.
I will look into it soon!
Hey Hal, video appeared at top of my RUclips main page pretty much as soon as you'd posted it, was just a bit late here in the UK (3AM-ish) to start watching it. Just so you know. Another great episode, cheers!
Glad to see you back Hal love your videos ❤
I’ve missed you lately but glad to see you’re rolling out a few videos. Thanks for the content.
I’m glad I never made the what were you thinking portion of your show. I done something stupid when I was young and drunk. I jumped in the ocean at night during a storm and got caught in a rip current. Thank God I got slammed into the last pole on the pier and was able to jump with the waves from pole to pole to get back in. Very scary and very stupid.
Anyone else have the original Jaws toy game? I remember a skull, camera, wagon wheel (or ship wheel), fish bones, a lantern, a radio. You had a long hook to get the pieces out of Jaw's mouth. The shark's mouth could snap shut making us jump. What a fun game. Missed you, Hal!
Yes I did, I was a huge jaws fan and got it for Christmas or my birthday
I had that game as a kid. Have always been obsessed with sharks from a young age. I threw a tantrum when I was little as dad wouldn't take me to see jaws with my brother and sister. Lol.
