This is not faer
Bahamian officials looked so sad. It's bad press, but there is nothing they can do. It wasn't like they were shot in a gift shop robbery or something. It's the ocean.
You want to go into the water, your taking a risk. Its their domain. Also doesnt help that there are likely irresponsible practises by alot of local shark tourist companies that take you out scuba diving or shark watching.
Why did y’all show them putting her body in the car
Bro i Literally going to Bahamas in 7 days
They hand feed the sharks at these resorts in the Bahamas bull sharks. That’s a very bad idea.
✝️
Lol….shark went shark…whats the problem? Nothing here to see folks. Just tourist being tourist…..You live and learn. Those who cannot….oh well. Common Sense is your friend. 😂😂😂😂
You have no business paddle boarding 1 mile from the shore. 😢😢😢😢 so sorry
Sonttai
I rather swim in the ocean than spend 20 mins in a swimming pool i can't speak for everyone that's just my view
My class mates is there aunt very sad 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
That’s so sad,They should know area is safe or not,why ???They don’t give warning to Tourist people,it’s shame 😒😒😒
What a horrific way to go. My heart breaks for her and her family. I wouldn’t wish that ending on even my enemies. To be attacked and ripped apart while alive is just …I can’t even imagine. I just hope it was a quick death for her. 😢 May she go to a better place, and may time heal her family’s hearts. Sometimes we have to be in the right place and the right time because it’s our time to go, unfortunately we all can’t pass on peacefully for some reason.
one mile out into ocean on paddle board?? im not even taking my 16 foot boat that far 😮
Free Palestine
Animals have been acting strange these past few years. Stay out of the waters
Note to self..no swimming in the Bahamas..just go to Barbados 😉
🙏🏽💐🕊💐🙏🏽
I TRULY FEEL VERY SORRY BUT, WE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, THE OCEAN IS NOT OURS THE OCEAN IS THE FISH'S NATURAL HABITAT. WE HUMANS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ONE FOR ALL THAT, GOING TO THE OCEAN WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OR NOT GO AT ALL. THE SHARK IS NOT GUILT!!!
Baby shark do do do 🎵
Paddle boarding almost a mile from shore? Very foolish.
Precisely why I've decided to stay out of the oceans. Only under God's Kingdom where animals would be docile will you find me swimming.
Don't provoke sharks.
My God prayers up for both families that loss loved ones. Wooow that poor baby.
My condolences to the victim and families. However, I wish the statistics were explained in a different manner. They stated that 3 people died from a shark attack in the Bahamas in the last decade. Roughly 7 million tourists visit the Bahamas yearly. Thus, 3 out of 70 million people died in the Bahamas from a shark attack in the last 10 years. This means the chances from being a victim of a deadly shark attack is close to nul. In 2021 in the US, 42, 939 people died in motor vehicle crashes. This means roughly 1 person out of 10,000 died from a motor vehicle crash in the US in 2021. Fear the road, not sharks.
I know im supposed to feel bad for the woman, but paddleboarding almost a mile out in the ocean? Why? Why that far? Darwin award nominee and winner 🤷♂️
My dads friend saw this play out they brought the body right next to him fsr
Its crazy how no one is investigating if safety precautions were used like overhead surveillance, shark watch or did they notice the shark before people start paddle boarding. I know when I was on vacation i noticed a man struggling to get back to shore while sail boating, i had to inform the resort employee the man is over 2miles out and once he clear the shore line of the island he will be taken out to sea. We need to investigate why wasn't shark watch in place when they knew of recent shark attacks.
Climate Destruction ('change') is heating the oceans which kills off small feed for tuna etc., sharks' food, so now, hungrier they are combing in further to beaches – glum, but us anthro's are wrecking their own life sphere.
Tiger shark breeding grounds & a mile outbid insanity. I won’t even paddle boarding, canoe or kayak where we live due to sharks & gators. Prey confusion is real.
Deep, deep ocean right off Sandals, shark habitat of course, tourist needed better restriction closer to shore, was 3/4 mile off beach when attacked, a Life Guard monitoring issue, not a shark issue.
RIP to both victims. ❤😢❤😢❤
My condolences but You wouldnt catch me 3/4 of a mile out with my arms /legs in the water . Were they surfing? Call me a whimp but even going to the local beach , I see no need to go past my chest to cool off. These people that wade out over their heads ..why? When i was in Hawaii, I talked to some local islander women and asked if they swim in the ocean thinking its no big deal to them , growing up on a island and all. They said …No……SHARKS!!! 😅
RIP. 3/4 of a mile is insane
Everyone from the Lucifer show locked up yetand thomas Ellis and his wives. Child predator s practiceing stuff they don t understand theyneed to be in prison
No point going in does water , 99% chance of u getting eaten alive
