Why is she brave? She thought he had drowned and had no idea about the shark until she was almost on the beach.

@@hearmenow909 I'm sure you'd have done the same wouldn't you ?

that isn't mother earth being brutal. that is human species being stupid.

Its crazy, ive surfed north of morro rock before and felt the sharkiness too, water was freezing cold

It is rare when considering how many people play in the ocean world wide. Millions. The ocean is THEIR habit and we are invading their space... we take a risk by going in the water... but it is in fact rare. You have more of a chance dying in a car crash or being run over crossing the street. Cannot eliminate shark related deaths because they are in their natural habitat. People know this when they choose to play in the ocean. What is your solution?

I was wondering what his injuries were. thanks

@@lilitudeamnocte248 the autopsy results won’t be released for several more weeks, so that comment must know Tomas Butterfield’s fam, friends or the witnesses who saw the aftermath. (Or they are just guessing his fatal injuries).

That’s gruesome

Oh wow. So brutal. Sending healing to everybody involved. ☹️

Hals the man!!👍🥰

@@reneesantiago6496 ,True dat !

Odds go up if you frequent the ocean.

I agree. They are not as rare as they are downplayed to be. I do have to wonder why they downplay the danger. 1.Tourism 2 .Don't want panics 3. etc.

so the shark can rest and feel refreshed the next day

@@stefpix LOL

The shark needs to digest his meal for the next one as after all we aren’t on the menu - wink wink

Time to shoot some fish 😆

So true

A person having never been eaten by a shark people have died from their wounds but never eaten by a shark

Yes they are.

Only 10 dead people a year. People kill millions of shark for soup.....Cut the fins and throw them back in sea to die.

Your right. They're not.

The reason they're so rare is because not a lot of people go in the water! Most people are working and Don't have the luxury of being near the beach to go in the water all the time... That's why they're rare... If everybody and their mom was in the water all the time there would be 1000 attacks A year

Still rarer than deaths in cars.

@@stephenmontgomery4551 millions of ppl go in the water and there is maybe 50 a year

We had a woman here die from a great white here near my home town in maine last.yr.

I agree! Not rare enough for me to go out in the water. I've been hearing about a lot of shark attacks lately too.

Oof. Reminds me of that video of that HUGE shark that got tangled up in a guys kayak and knocked him clean out of it. That shark was pushing 20ft and was not happy.

Oh damn….probably not the best way of doing shark research. I’d have gotten a really good drone for that.

@@stephencook7337 You have to watch out for sharks doing kayak research ...

@@fredsmith2299 not through drone footage, derp.

Exactly. Russian roulette is a very good description.

Funny, in the 'North' the large adult white sharks have mostly learned not to bother humans; it's the 'teenagers'(8-12 feet) that are 'transitioning' from fish/rays/small sharks to marine mammals that will prove to be a problem until THEY learn to tell what a human is. I'm not sure if the Morro Bay/SLO coast white shark population is spreading down from the North or moving up from the South.

@Gabe ThatWeedFarmer If you mean SLO/Morro Bay, yeah==I think they might be part of the population of 'Giants' from Santa Cruz and the Farallons.

This is just not correct

@@ezraflapan-feig7392 look up how often there is a shark predation on people it’s not uncommon but doesn’t happen that often .but when a shark wants to eat you it will and just you and not touch the people trying to help you usually

@@XGRIMYONEX great white shark attacks happen when the shark is hungry and mistakes a human for a seal. The people die from blood loss. As for rarity, they are talking about the area not everywhere

Look up Malibu Artist on KZfaq and you might change your mind. He's got lots of drone footage of great white sharks near surfers and they are disinterested in humans.

Most of the time it's mistaken identity especially in CA and East coast waters. However, in Australia there have been instances of sharks eating people in fairly clear water. It comes down to shark behavior. They are unpridictable just like bears.

I used to live there. Miss the place.

Yah that's real smart. Everyone go out to the same spot and try to be the next chunk of shark bait. With any luck it'll be the bimbo who left this comment. With all due respect of course mam..

@@HomeWrecknKneeKnockr do you realize 1000’s of ppl are in the ocean every day not only in Hawaii but all over the world and rarely get attacked… sharks don’t see us as food

it is rare with 10s millions of people in the water and maybe 50 a year. that is extremely rare. quit being a jackass

Its around 20deaths per year worldwide compared to 100s of millions of the people in the water. That in fact is rare! Your chance of getting struck by lightning is higher.

They are rare. SCARY, but rare. Not rare enough for me!

The attacks aren’t rare when you swim in deep open water at these beaches.

@@noahtek1101 your chances of being in a fatal car crash is 1 in 107. Your chances of being a victim of a fatal shark attack is 1 in 3,748,067. You aren't going to stop driving tomorrow cuz of this are you?

Thanks Karen, for the warning.

@@jimfoley8014 you are very welcome James but my name is Mark not Karen

Yes, but it's really rare. I live about 30 miles south in Grover Beach. Most beautiful place to live, ever, but I never go in the ocean.

@@jimfoley8014 I don't think he was being a Karen, just doesn't like the ocean.

agree i surf on the land!!! skateboards

A shark stole an 80 pound tuna I had just reeled in, down in San Diego. Bti that tuna in half like a twinkie.

@@jimfoley8014 Jim true story ... once we baited for sharks ... throw a line with a buoy and a fish on the end with a hook ... the line floats around the creek and then we saw it bobbing up and down .... so we jumped in our little 10 foot skiff and pulled in the line ... We caught a eight foot shark in a ten foot boat ... the flapping shark nearly knocked us over board ... and the only saving us was when we went under a bridge my cousin jumped in the boat with a shot gun and shot the shark in head ... wow .... But that's why I did not swim in those waters ...

Orcas are wasteful eaters; they spend hours trying to kill a grey whale calf, then afterwards just eat the tongue and leave the rest. Scientists were surprised when they used orca hunting calls as a 'repellent' to white sharks, suddenly saw the sharks become very excited and aggressive--no doubt, upon hearing the orca cry, the sharks were expecting a 'windfall' of whale blubber.

@@nickmitsialis I witnessed an Orca predation on Grey whale calf while fishing salmon, and it was sad to see the drawn out battle take a couple of hours as the mom tried to support the calf on her back. In the end, exhausted mom could no longer protect the calf. Nat Geo filmed the event using drones. My understanding was the calf was eaten after death by the Orca family.

@@zeltar5088 What an incredibly stupid thing to say. Even if you're not religious, to each their own. Who are you to judge? Just some dumbass on youtube. Heed your own advice.

No! No one needs a fictitious Jesus character in ones life. You died for 27 minutes? Not buying it, when you die obviously you’re dead. People don’t come back to life after death, you weren’t dead. There’s no evidence that one goes anywhere after death, your dying brain was playing tricks on you.

Good for you maybe 🦈

Not for that kid. Always camp in bear country with a person slower than you.

Yes, I grew up in Morro Bay and there was never a shark attack while I lived there. My older brother has been surfing that spot for over 30 years and has been bumped a few times, but never attacked. I think it's the type of shark, great whites I believe are more aggressive. The sharks that hang out near the rock are mainly nurse sharks. It's just recently that big whites have been spotted there.

Still not going, I don't care how good the odds are

Without having any sort of info RE: the victim's injuries or feedback from experts like Ralph Collier, we can't really be sure why the Shark did what it did. I'm convinced some white sharks like to 'practice their technique': there was a guy who got bitten a few years back at Pebble Beach, near Carmel. He was diving for lobsters/spearfishing. He saw the shark several times while underwater, but every time it got spotted, it would move away beyond visible range. When he surfaced to get back into his Zodiac inflatable, the shark moved in and bit him then. It was almost like it was 'biding it's time' before moving to make a bite. Some divers/experts say white sharks like to not approach you with 'bad intent' when you can see them.

Probably a mistaken identity predation attempt. Need to understand the extent of the persons injuries to determine. Massive injury would indicate predatory intent vs terratorial or test bite.

@@markmailander3880 That's exactly what I'm waiting for==the report from Ralph Collier or someone of his background would probably explain everything.

Some sharks are becoming extinct. Oceanic black tip shark for one. Great whites shark are also hunted for their fins. Even the whale shark is hunted for their fins. You have no idea the Chinese people want for shark fins. In Asia the sharks fins are dried on top of building. The amounts of sharks killed for their fins is unbelievable Mexicans kill sharks for their fins to sell to China. In 20 years there might be any sharks alive in the oceans.
