“It happened in a second. Rescuers reacted very quickly. For some reason, I immediately felt that it was a shark. I immediately jumped up and started shouting: ‘Sharks, sharks! Save yourself!’ Nobody understood yet,” a witness told Russian station REN-TV. “It’s a terrible thing, the remains of this guy are over there. I’m shaking. Right in front of my eyes, the shark ate that guy. I think I need a drink. I feel really bad,” a woman told the Telegram channel Baza. Authorities say the shark was captured and transferred to a laboratory “for examination and all required information to determine the possible causes of the attack.” Water activities in the area were restricted until Sunday.
Shark attacks are uncommon along the Red Sea coast, though two attacks in Hurghada last year killed an Austrian and a Romanian tourist. According to National Geographic, tiger sharks are second only to great white sharks in terms of human attacks. “However, because they have a nearly completely undiscerning palate, they are unlikely to swim away after biting a human, as great whites frequently do,” according to the publication.
