As beach season hits high gear this holiday weekend, some people in North Carolina are calling for beach closures amid a surge in shark attacks over the past month.
There have been 11 shark attacks off the shores of the Carolinas this year, most in just the last three weeks.
On Wednesday, a 68-year-old man was bitten by a shark off the coast of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. The victim, identified by the hospital as Andrew Costello, was bitten on his left side in his lower leg and hip and on both his hands, Hyde County EMS Director Justin Gibbs told ABC News.

That's why I don't go farther than my feet deep in the water lol
Don't kill them! Tag them, then we can learn more about their migratory patterns and more about why they are there, and then we will have a better idea of when it's safer to swim.
Who swims near a fishing spot?! That's an open buffet!
There's surf fishing everywhere along the beaches.
At VA beach there is only crabs u gotta worry about 🤣
This is why I prefer hotel swimming pools. I feel sorry for these poor people.
Totally agree with you I get that weird feeling when I swim in the ocean unless I'm swimming in the Mediteranian sea
Even the Med has a history of Great White Shark attacks but yet it has a much more serene and safe reputation.
I swim in Italy in lazio! I find the water is really clear and so many people swim around you! The also have patrol boats so you don't drown and to also warn you of sharks! In the Atlantic I find it's unclear so you never know what's a near you
I think I will stay in the Hotel Swimming pool even on the MED.
I feel sorry for the sharks , because that's their home.
its like when we go swimming in the ocean its like we are braking in to the sharks homes
I live in North Carolina. I was in sixth grade whenever these attacks took place. I remember begging my mom to go to the beach, and then she told me of the attacks and I'm always staying cautious at the beach.
THIS IS LIKE JAWS!!!! I wonder if Shark Week is going to talk about these attacks? People should stay out of the water but if you go in the water your taking a risk.
J F my bad bro I was 14 at the time😂😂
Sharks have never attacked anybody on LAND!
sharks and brain eating amoebas
North Carolina has it all
and now Hurricane Florence.
Wow you saw sharks in the water? My mind is blown! Who put them there? Just indiscriminately shoot a bunch of sharks ... Bullets are not that effective into water...
Actually they are....ever seen saving private ryan? Or played call of duty when the germans are shooting their mg42s ? Bullets go throughh water
@@ceramikxxx5882 look up shooting into water. The bullet velocity dips drastically when shot into water
I pray for both of them. 🙏🏻
I really love my pool, and my cold Corona.
Also I love Shark week.on 📺.
I used to live there... there are alot of fish in that area and a lot of sharks also. We fish for king mackerel off the pier there and usually end up catching sharks or having your king bitten in half while reeling it in. Just rent a place with a pool 😁
I saw one today at North Carolina Beach I was on a giant floaties 5 ft and I let go of my floatie and just swam but the shark grabbed the floatie
Thank goodness you are ok
sounds believable
Go figure , sharks in the ocean! Who would have known, I'm amazed ! Lol
Glad you could contribute something productive!
They should NOT be allowed to shoot them... You are swimming at your own risk and the sharks are just trying to survive. Leave them alone.
Right on!!! Man is destroying the planet just get a stupid human with the corrupted laws that's all it takes! Just like the guy said in one of the comment's surfers love their sport but they also know the dangers and that's fine...but parents know the the dangers and they let the kids go in by themselves they don't go in that's the ones I can knock out lol...well i lovvvve my life that God gave me and I'm not going to jeopardize it life is to valuable to me! Some people just dont value theirs and that's ok too they are the adrenaline junkies...
Megan Carter People like you I'd like to throw into the middle of a shark feeding frenzy. You can give them all a hug
Megan i understand but sometimes
Its worth it humans will die cuze of them
Even the humens you LOVE
Its hard.
sharks can kill you though
Are you anti fishing also?
Have some sympathy people, she was a 12 year old girl, she probably didn't know any better. Also from the pictures it looks like she was a distance away from the pier that most people would think is safe. What's with all this victim blaming? Praying for all the victims.
a week and a half ago i was in Avon, North Carolna where another shark attack was
What's with all the victim blaming and saying shit like, oh these people deserved it because they're stupid, or look how many sharks we kill a year, or it's not an attack it's just nature, or it's shark land we have no right to be in there.
1) These people are not stupid, they're enjoying beautiful parts of nature that they were lucky enough to have access to. With everything there's a risk; leaving your house, you have a risk of tripping and breaking a bone, driving has a risk of crashing and dying, staying at home and doing nothing has a risk of health issues and mental issues. These people are not stupid for just going to the beach; people are more likely to get attacked by a cow than by a shark.
2) How many sharks that are killed for their parts are not even remotely relevant to people getting attacked :P
Death is death, yeah, but this has nothing to do with anything; it's like saying, well Caren's dog big Jimmy oh no, and then Stacey's like WELL LOOK HOW MANY DOGS ARE IN SHELTERS, KILLED, ABANDONED, ETC. And Jimmy and Caren would be like, Stacey where'd you come from and why are you here.
3) It is an attack. Yes, they are creatures of nature, as we are, but they attack their food as they attack anything they want to. It's not an attack of malice, hate, or anything other than just curiosity and hunger, but it is an attack nonetheless.
4) Sharks are living creatures that exist in the water. But we as humans are also living creatures that happen to live everywhere and are able to adapt to different environments, just like many many other types of animals. Birds fly, but the sky is not exactly their home, nor is it all theirs and no other creature has a right to be in it. My point is that, as humans, we are creatures too, therefore we have the same kind of entitlement to enjoying, exploring, and adapting to any other parts of nature we find suitable and enjoyable. We're not destroying the ocean by swimming in it, we're being a part of nature.
***** For point number 1, no one is arguing with you. You can take every precaution ever and still have a shark encounter. It'd be like entering the jungle and not expecting a lion encounter. The ocean is NOT our home. We don't understand its rules (why some sharks attack and others don't.)
Number 2: Um....I don't understand it. Seems to me you're rambling.
Number 3: Is it an attack? Sharks can't identify us by human means (they aren't human), the best way they have to identify anything is by biting. Unfortunately for us, that exploratory bite leads to death.
Number 4: We absolutely have a reason to enjoy the ocean. We can't forget the ocean isn't our natural habitat. We don't understand the ocean's ecosystem at all (a fundamental understanding doesn't count) so when we cross boundaries we can't blame ourselves and we can't blame the animals.
For #2, what I was addressing was the number of comments that bring up shark death statistics and compare them to how many sharks kill humans. My point there was that bringing those facts in are completely irrelevant.
And for #3, I understand that sharks do tend to identify things by biting them, but when they rip off limbs and thrash in the water, it does seem more of an attack, it might not have been to kill, but to severely injure a creature with the intent to do so is definitely an attack.
***** exactly its all just an accident a terrible accident but no one is stupid
xXWARCLASSGAMERXx Gaming/Reviews what type of sharks are the attacks by?
xXWARCLASSGAMERXx Gaming/Reviews Bull sharks are up and down the west coast and east coast, south america, africa, australia. Yes there are some in NC but its not anything special about it.
Shark: You eat too much fish, you become our fish.
Sharks r one of my biggest fears other than snakes and spiders
the best thing people can do is stay out of the ocean that's where the sharks live that's why I don't go in there I won't even go in up to my knees
@somethingsomethingDarkSide bro,,,,this was dumb on your behalf
@somethingsomethingDarkSide not going there with you
@somethingsomethingDarkSide Alot , just don't wish to debate right now,,,specially with someone with no common sense.
sharks live in ocean,,,natural born killers,,,man is not born robbers, they chose this,,cant compare the 2,,,,at all,,ppl made a choice to enter ocean, we gotta live among'st these ppl daily no choice,you have a choice to go in ocean
That sounds like a pretty big shark.
Looks like a Jaws movie
I live in I'm going to the outer banks in a few days.
Why would anyone swim by a fishing pier ?
1sweetsue yes its pretty much like walking into a pool with sharks they are going to be there no matter what hunting
1sweetsue thats where it seems like most of the bites happen
The surf is always better due to the contour of the bottom. During Summer 2015, while people were letting their kids swim freely, anyone that understood the current conditions were staying out of the water, especially with the population of Bull and Tiger sharks local to this area.
IKR! At my beach if you even go foot deep near the pier all you hear is “WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEWWWWW” from the lifeguards whistle over and over again until you get out
i go here for a week every single year, i’m probably around 3 miles away from the pier, i can always see the pier, i’ve caught a small 2 foot shark before, my mom has also seen a 5-6 foot what looked to be like a bull shark in the water, other than that, great beach!
so we can go out and shoot fish now because there too close to people? STAY OUT OF THE WATER AT DUSK AND DAWN! FEEDING TIME PEOPLE.
Kim W they are bullsharks most aggressive sharks they literally attack and eat anything. Rather have those type of sharks killed tbh
I used to live there, actually 20 mins from Oak Island. Ocean Isle beach.
I was there the day before like 40 miles up from where it happend, and I saw a fin in the wave I was about to dive in. And I hope those people are alright.
MrBacon417 haha good thing you didn't ;)
Ya good thing and be careful if you ever go to the Outer Banks AE Friends4Lyfe112
MrBacon417 I am actually going in july. not going in the water though after all of this.
Alright be very careful when you do. I was like 2 feet from the shark. They are being more attacks then there has been in a long time. AE Friends4Lyfe112
I was their while that was going on
SADLY I LIVE HERE
I was in the same state
Just got back home from vacationing there. We go to OBX all the time and never encountered sharks or heard of attacks. It was scary hearing about all of those in just 2 weeks, clearly something is wrong! We did NOT go in the water!
***** no denying it's those. Just earlier my mom showed me a pic of someone on Facebook who caught a huge bull just from night fishing down there! Had to be at least 5 feet, and it was right menacing in the face. Bulls are nasty.
His name is Hunter, my brothers friend. I feel bad for him. I never thought this could happen until my mom came home, took my brother aside and told him. People are saying that they deserved it 😢 stay strong hunter!
Sydney O'Bier im going in a week and im not even thinking about going into the water I go always and never hear anything about sharks now its sooo bad I cant enjoy the water anymore without thinking im about to get attacked
AE Friends4Lyfe112 exactly, better safe than sorry I'm afraid to say. And being a huge galeophobic, I still go and jump waves. But I didn't get to this year, it really sucked cuz the water was so clear and pretty and I didn't get to enjoy it.
Bull sharks are one of the most, if not THE most dangerous sharks to humans.
You’re in their restraunt. Me I swam out past the getty’s with a friend but got called back in by the lifeguard. Couldn’t even hear their whistle or the bullhorn.
I really don't think I will be swimming..................but they are beautiful creatures
They need to close the beaches until the problem is solved. Put nets up and create a swimming area for the swimmers... Leaving the beaches open are just asking for more attacks.. I believe 8-9 attacks already within a three week period on the east coast. Something has to change
Those are Bull shark attacks and that is a photo of a Bull shark in the shallows, i.e., where they often hunt.
This would be a good use for drones--higher population areas could send up drones with video cameras every 15 minutes or so and be able to spot most large sharks cruising the coast
Authorize to shoot sharks in the ocean? That’s dumb we are choosing to swim where they live.
Murky shallow waters with strange currents?
I went to topsail beach.....
I was actually really close to that beach when this happened.
I live in North Carolina and there have been 5 shark attacks in June alone...
megan maybell yes absolutely crazy not swimming here at least this year.
I was at the beach about 5 minutes away from there
I surf and I have seen sharks near me and it scares me but we kill sharks all the time. It is wrong, I understand they kill people and hurt people but we kill them for their fins that is just wrong. It doesn't matter if they are "scary" or whatever.
I know the the knee vagina @ .30 had me in horror & terrified! Ambulance would have already been there had I seen that disgusting display of profanity!
I’m just now watching this but when I got there for vacation we stopped at the exact location where it happened from about 1 hour before we got there one of those attacks had happened and we was wondering why nobody was in the water or on the beach
It STILL!!! boils down to "two" simple words; "Shark Nets".
and that is just excellent for the sport fishing. NOT! These are bull sharks. Until we start having Tiger, Hammer, or Great White attacks as often as they do down under, bad idea.
they kept the beach open???
You are on the menu people.
Oak island, my home
And to think there are assholes saving sharks nowadays...
I agree
Despite shark attacks, beaches remain open for business.... What!!!???
I have a beach house where they were attacked
Im supposed to be going this makes me wanna change my mind
When are you going, and where at? It's "mostly" safe. I've been at the beach like all week in the mornings or evenings mostly, but on Friday evening my lower leg/foot area hit against something in the water while I was swimming. I was in about 5' ish ft. of water. Some people have been attacked in much lower water than that though. I'm afraid to go back in after that. I want to, but it's really hard to see anything that's in the water. This woman was only in waist deep water when she got her thigh bitten and her arm bitten: ruclips.net/video/ZtdAaTWIdLY/видео.html
At 2:23 through 2:35 he had a tongue twister 😝
how close or far is this from Topsail Beach?
6 mins of fruit I suggest not going to Topsail. Many sharks there ;(
Daenerys Drogo oh... thanks for the info!!!
Why would you shoot someone in their world??
Good this I go to the beach in Avon(sometimes....)
Listen carefully conservations has caused sharks 🦈 to triple in numbers. Stay out of the water.
Oh, one last thing...The process is called "FINNING". Take a look for yourself.
I'm just trying to give some perspective. Most anyone I have ever heard, who spoke about their being attacked by a shark, have always said that "it is not the sharks fault. And, I have no ill will for them". But, you have this mass hysteria in the Carolinas. Hey, go swim somewhere else. It is their ocean, not ours.
What the flying fudge- and you know I wanted to say another word, Its their home and humans our the trespassers. If you are worried about an attack swim in a pool. Dont blame our fish life. Dang!
I feel sorry for the sharks. They're being decimated by humans: while every year sharks kill no more than 10 persons worldwide, one of the most comprehensive studies ever compiled on illegal shark killing estimates that *100 million sharks are killed by humans, every year, around the world*. This number by far exceeds what many shark populations need to recover. :\
Mr_Ordinary101 YT well, like some evil humans, sharks will kill, they are very vicious animals, of course they do it to survive and eat but they will attack if a person or another sea creature gets close enough. I’m not saying there not cool looking animals they are but for me I’d like to stay away from the vicious animals and humans in the world.
Stay out the water😷😷😷😭😭😭😭😭😭
Shoot them??? that's really stupid that's like someone walking into your house and then being able to shoot you instead of you shooting them you're in their territory you're in their water, their home you are food to them if you don't want to be eaten don't swim in the water go to a pool or swim at your own risk.
sick vid bro
Feel sorry for the people who got hurt. Remember we are invading their home territory not the reverse.
The only solution is to stay on the sand and let the water splash at you. Good enough for me. If it gets me too wet I scream and run away.
where is all the blood at.. i didnt see any
Sharks here in NC love the taste of tourists! Don't swim near piers... seriously.
Always be careful going in the sea.
Surfers will always have trouble with regards to being mistaken.
As for Bull sharks. They will attack anything and also swim in fresh water.
Never go swimming during twliight hours in the sea.
The shark shey shaw
i stay july 12 and 13 2017 and i see sharks close the bech front, virginia beach hotel conference center , morning and aftenoon
It is really unfortunate for the kids involved. Don't believe it's worth a shark killing spree. I don't see how you can hold a predator liable for hunting in its natural habitat.
solanum1987 ya they are just killing every shark. but poor kids
Thats crazy!!!
where's chief Brody when u need him?
But no one was hurt
I am never summing in a ocean a again I fell so bad for thes people 😔😳
I saw a shark yesterday
Gah, I live in NC..
They're having problems with the worst shark known to mankind the bull shark
feel for the those young people but thats nature .
I live in NC great
Won't shooting attract more sharks?
I was just there today
Sad just sad 😭
Its really no big deal, there isnt any such thing as a safe place in this world. Every day you wake up you face a world full of things that can hurt or kill you. The ocean is a beautiful place but its just as dangerous as a high way durring rush hour.
As a republican, 2nd amendment activist, and A PATRIOT I always carry a gun when I go swimming just in case a liberal commie shark tries to eat me for his dinner. I recommend you all start carrying firearms while you swim. You can never be too safe.
Yoooooooooo i am going to that beach tommorow i am really scared to go in the ocean.......I really hope that i wont get bittten by a shark
2015 The year of Jaws
I'm so sad and sorry for those victims. Sharks will be sharks though, and occasionally that means they will attack humans. Enter the water at your own risk.
Ouch
ON A TUESDAY GOT GIRL IN THE CLUB SHE CHOOSING
Terrifying! Terrifying! TERRIFYING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Save me ABC news! What if there are no shark stories???!!! What should I be TERRIFIED of today?!?!? Most accidents occur near home!!! But the sharks are further away! WHAT DO I DO, ABC?!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaagh! I can never go home!!!! HELP ME ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
