I read about that 1993 attack at Byron Bay, Australia, the day after it happened. What I read was that John Ford and his wife, both from England, UK, were on their honeymoon. John saw the Great White heading straight towards his wife and pushed her out of the way. The shark took him instead and bit him clean in two. Much respect to him for his courage.
I'm not sure about the physics of "pushing someone out of the way" when you're floating in water. I'm not saying he didn't attempt to, I just don't see how it's physically possible.
I remember this also, they tried to interview her & she was understandably beyond upset, but she couldn’t even talk. So sad but that’s the chance you take when swimming in the sharks home.
@@jogglehead hi if youve ever dived youd understand the physics of push its more barge than push and he placed himself in the space between her and the shark just go with it a horrible way to die regards doc leeroy 😢😢😢😢

I'm my opinion the worst shark attack(s) in history occurred over the five days that the sailors of the USS Indianapolis were adrift in the open ocean.
In my opinion people left in the ocean unaccounted for is the cause of the attacks. And no, men doing their job is not worse than women and children. One has an arsenal that could wipe out San Fran, the other, not a thing
@@SharksHappen That arsenal is useless against sharks. Those men in the ship never knew what was coming. It doesn't matter what their job was or what job they were doing. Not only were the initial survivors of the blast having to cope with being dumped in the ocean in total darkness, surrounded by burning fuel oil and wounded men, but after the shock of that type of violence had to deal with days of psychological and physical stress that the average person will never experience. How horrible it must have been to be thirsty, hungry, and perhaps wounded, floating or in the water for four days, seeing others wounded and being attacked, and wondering if you were next on the menu.
I read that not so many men were taken by sharks, but going mad from thirst, and drinking sea water, drowning, sunstroke etc, formed most of the casualties. The sharks feasted on the bodies. It's criminal that no heads rolled that those men were not rescued timeously - apparently distress signals were received, but one commander was too drunk, one thought it was a Japanese ploy, another said he didn't want to be disturbed during his party or bridge gane or something like that.
Oceananic white tips i would assume, man those men had one hell of a week,delivering one of the bombs the help bring the war to a end eventually feeling like heroes 😉 then afterwards on way back to there Port they get hit by Japanese submarine, they lost men from the explosions ship sinks then there's not enough lifeboats for all to get out of water and the poor guys are getting picked off one by one ,horrible tragedy 😢 those men had the worst naval experience ever.then the ones that survived must have ptsd and nightmares for ever,I feel for these brave men ,I've read a few books written by survivor's and it was a horrible experience.
Please always keep this video up in its original version as of today's posting. Being transparently honest, when you lost your shizzz @ 13:00, made me laugh my mass off at a needed moment. Seriously. Thank you for letting it fly. I Empathize
1984, Spear fishing at oil rig platforms off Galveston, TX. Had a huge tiger cruise over me about 10’ above my head. His shadow is what let me know he was there. It was almost as big as the 17’ boat I had with me at the time. Scared the hell out of me.
Have you gone fishing after that? 🤔 😬 I might consider staying in the boat as next time Tony the Tiger may be HaNgRy and you might look like a tasty morsel 🥺 🏊 🦈
Have been watching Hal for a while now & love his shark stories. Tonight was sooooo unexpectedly funny!! (13:00- 13:20) My husband & I replayed those 2 moments in the video, about 5 times as we couldn’t believe what we were hearing. 😳😳 We laughed so hard our dogs came over to make sure we were ok!! 🤣🤣🤣😭😭. Still wiping away the tears. We imagined Hal forgot to edit his video before posting … but please leave it now. It’s too late anyway & way tooo funny!!
OMG! The size of that tiger shark ! This is why I only ever swim in pools. If that shark was coming at me I would be in one of your stories Hal, "British woman leaves 22ft trail of shit in ocean, 1ft longer than the shark snapping at her Limey ass".
These 18'+ size sharks are just pure monsters....anyone diving/swimming/ surfing are taking a chance of meeting one of these behemoths....are they crazy!!?? Great stuff Hal.
@@SharksHappen EXACTLY!! Sharks that big can easily make a person disappear without a trace. Im sure some missing people presumed "drowned" have been taken by one of these behemoths. Keep the stories coming..this is one of my favorite channels on youtube
Great Show, Hal, as always. I had to come back after viewing the Tiger shark link you left, Holy Crap. I can see how they can swallow someone whole. That thing is massive.
Again - not only the stories but the way you tell them is what gather people around you. ❤️ Ps I'm always amazed by this fella in the backround. Imagine having this thing behind your back just like shown here
💯 percent agree with you. It makes me feel like we're friends hanging out and listening to a smart friend with great stories. So glad I found this channel. Subscribed!
@@billieford9683 Absolutely NOT! The “Fella” in the background is the Actor, “Robert Shaw” who portrayed “Captain Quint” in the original movie “Jaws”. 👍
Really like your videos. I read all the shark attacks books growing up. I like seeing your T-shirts too. Living on an a remote out-island in the Bahamas for so long, I have encountered some crazy huge-sized tigers and hammerheads. I saw three tigers toether, looked like whales, all cruising through a shallow cut. I never speared there again! You rock and have a great channel. Thank you!
I am always on the look out for a new Sharks Happen Show. This one didn't disappoint. The first local shark attack I ever heard of was La Jolla Cove in the 1950s I believe. A skin diver went missing and the body was never recovered. Not sure if there were any witnesses, but it was assumed a large Great White shark. You've shared a couple of shark attacks that occured near Point La Jolla.
I learned how to scuba dive at the shore and the cove, for our sea tests. At the time those darn seals were not around. but of course the sharks were still there. There is a trench that the sharks follow into La Jolla. i SAW the shark and a great white but a baby one I assumed because he had no blemishes on skin or scars. I was somewhat insulted. He went right by me not even a how do you do. Graduated 2 years after pool was put in at HS. It did not help my peace of mind but my scuba teacher said to our class. Once your in the ocean, your food. Conduct yourself accordingly.
I keep wondering why I watch your channel. I can only assume it's like the pleasurable thrill of watching scary movies: Adrenalin, but no threat. Also, despite talking about horrific incidents, you have a very soothing, authoratitive voice.
Hi mate I'm from Australia and love Ur show. Dead set the best thing on CZcams. Also seen a couple of tigers and mate ain't much they wouldn't eat. That 18 footer looks scarier than a GW
I love sharks and have since I was first terrified by the TV-edited version of "JAWS" back in the day (you remember the olden days? We only had three channels and when we got cable, it was only 13 channels? No? Just me? Okay then...). Despite my adoration of them, I will never brave the water and swim with them. I enjoy your videos because of your storytelling tone of voice and my favorite bit is the "What were you thinking". (I'm deaf/hard-of-hearing, and I can hear your voice clearly without wearing headphones).
Yes and I pre-date your timeline by about 10 years. So I can say remember the mid 1960's when you could only find out about sharks from reading or a Jaques Cousteau TV special on 1 of those 3 channels!
I remember the old days . saw the unedited version in theatre & was horrified to realize what I had swam with many times .realized never again . that's why I am still around & getting old now
Yeah that was an epic Fbomb around 13:10. I thought he was reading something near the camera, but apparently he has all this stuff memorized, down to the names, locations, depths, times of day… and apparently his response to forgetting small details is rage haha
I was in Kauai a few years ago snorkeling. I was swimming, facing forward when all of a sudden I feel this huge something brush against my stomach. For a split second I was like omg! Shark! I looked down and saw that a huge sea turtle has just swam right underneath me from behind me.
Great show!! I haven't heard much on shark attacks on the Japanese in ww2. They had a lot more ships sunk than we did and we had at least 2 large shark attacks where hundreds were killed.
Great show once again Hal thank you👍I'm from🇬🇮 ,the crossroads between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean sea. Gibraltar has never had a recorded shark attack but I tell you, gw sharks do come into the Mediterranean to give birth every 2 years. So far we have been very lucky but considering the amount of sub saharan immigrants who drown trying to make their into Europe and some corpses are never found make me believe that sharks are cleaning up and perhaps developing a taste for human flesh? I shudder to think. Keep up the good work, fascinating as always 👌
That tiger shark was a beast! You are right Hal it really looks like no tiger shark I've seen. It just morphs into a new beast when it got to such a massive size. The guy who caught it said it ate a hammerhead whole right before it was caught . It's a nightmare monster.
Very true!! Seeing the shape of the teeth was the only way I could tell it was a tiger. It looked a lot like a GW. Makes me wonder when people talk about a 20ft shark and unable to distinguish what type of shark they've seen if it is because of the changes they make as their size increases. They would be very difficult to tell apart at that size, especially since the tigers lose their stripes, so I've just learned. *Crazy pic!!!! Wow!!!*
Any time the shark is 20 or over it is a white. 18 still the biggest on record with a couple unconfirmed 20 footers in the past. 1 oof the 20 footers was measured along the curves adding length.
Mr Hal im a fan of your work ive seen people try to copy your videos even down to use of google maps like you totally laughable . You are the best out there and i will continue to watch and tell friends about your show. They will never be able to copy The Host thats why you ROCK 🎸
That WW2 "pig basket" story was the most horrifying story I have ever heard about the treatment of prisoners. Those poor men...tortured in ways that we can't even imagine for days. Then getting fed, still living, to hungry sharks. To do that to fellow human beings...there are just no words. Anyway, In 1975 when 'Jaws' was released, I was in a book store looking for the Peter Benchley novel and I discovered a book that I mistakingly thought was 'Jaws' (judging it by the big shark on the cover; I think it said "The true story of Jaws", and I'm thinking like the dumb teenager I was "Wow, Jaws is true?" Duh!)... Anyway, is was a compilation of hundreds of actual Shark attack cases from the U.S. Navy's "Shark Attack Files". So I bought it instead of the 'Jaws' novel. Friggin' book gave me nightmares - but I could not put it down. It was absoluty terrifying, very graphic w/photos of ghastly wounds, and all I say is that truth is far more horrifying than fiction. Reading about all of those actual cases, so vivid in their details...by the time I got around to reading the Jaws book, it was ..pretty timid in comparison..Anyway, I don't even read fiction any more because there's so much nonfiction out there which is far more scary and interesting. Glad to see a channel like this recalling many from that book I bought in 1975. Terrific job!
I cannot find the book anywhere. It is the all time best attack book ever published. It had the story, 1800s or so of the thresher shark tail decapitating someone on the boat. I need that book. And it is so much better than that jaws book. The movie is much better than the book. All the characters are slimeballs in the book
@@SharksHappen I'll look for my copy although it's spilt in half due to being read so much. But if I find it I can send it to you. It is a valuable resource; very well organized and well written. The one that got me was the 20 ft Tiger Shark that held a diver in his mouth near the bottom as his dive buddy helplessly looked on, knowing he could do absolutely nothing to help his friend. Or the attacks on the young South American boys that were swimming in rough surf near a dock when multiple sharks attacked them, just ripping them to gory pieces. There so many stories that are pure nightmare material...I'll start digging for it.
Does anyone remember the "shark" issue of National Geographic published circa 1968? Chief Brody is shown reading this issue when Hooper is having a meal at Brody's house.
@@malachiwhite356 I remember that one, my dad had it for years. It had Ron Taylor's famous photo of a 12 foot Great White - taken while leaning off the back of an Australian fishing boat.
Always brilliant and a awesome place to listen to the stories. Sharks amaze me and I find them as a very important part of our great oceans. I still have no interest in swimming around them however. Thank you kind sir once again.
@13:10 - I'm laughing my ass off, man! Sorry, not meaning to laugh at your frustration. We appreciate your work! But damn, that surprised me and cracked me up x'D
The most Real, authentic and relatable host,bar none,on U. Tube.Funny & real, passionate in regards to truth,indeed we all are happily entertained by Mr. Hal.
I remember the John Ford attack as a young boy growing up in a Nova Scotia. My father and his friends were talking about it and I still remember to this day them pacing out the 6m from the hallway into the kitchen and feeling so bad for that man and his wife whom he saved pushing her out of the way.
I worked in tool and die and was assembling a 12 foot tall parts rack. When done i told the guys whites get almost double that height. Truly is crazy when you measure it out
I just found you the other day and have been going through your videos, loved this one.. keeping it honest and leaving in the mistake, all the other stuff people wrote and like the “what are you thinking !!!
So do u rationalize the dropping of atomic bombs on women and children civilians?...and the hundreds of thousands who died of radiation after?...people who were not fighting anyone but just living there lives as there leaders wage war...so these bombs that destroyed a whole city and every pet... bird and animal included....this was not evil?....or did fox news give it a justified spin?
Ps....they killed soildiers who went abroad to war...soildiers that would have killed them if given the chance... Drafted u might say....still dont have to go...ali didnt...
@@abab-ml1ym Stupid argument. Japanese monsters were known to take even their own out on subs and submerse civilians in shark infested waters…..children included. So your efforts are void.
Been watching your vids for a couple of weeks since I discovered you. Great job ! Been reading and learning about sharks since the age of 12. Looking forward to more informative sessions with you. Thanks !
Yes Hal! Loving the show also, like all these peeps! I've been fascinated by sharks since doing a Primary School project about them probably 35 years ago and then getting a copy of Nat Geo's Shark on VHS. I'm now a scuba diver and body boarder and although these attacks do occur and can be horrendous life changing events and even fatalities it is our decision to enter the wilderness that is the ocean, which is the home of large apex predators where we can become part of the food chain! Keep up the good work Hal (and don't say f**k or bugger lol) Respec Ya'll :)
What's up bra? U got urears lowered, looks nice and respectable. This is officially my favorite channel. I wish the posts were more often. Keep up the great work. 🙏❤️🤗😘☀️🐊🌴☝️💪👊✌️🗽🇺🇲🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Great stuff Hal. Congrats man on 10K. Always a 👍 from me bro. Hey, this might be a dumb question, but what got you interested in shark attacks? Are you a diver or spend time in the ocean. Just a thought. Keep the channel goin man its great. All the best bro! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Holy hell is that tiger shark in the link unbelievably and terrifyingly massive, hard to even believe they can get that big until you see one I suppose(and hopefully only on the internet...never in person, despite the fact itd probably be incredible to see in person). Not hard to believe the damage theyre capable of given how strong they are and just how massive that head is, and the sheer size of each razor sharp serrated tooth.
man something similar almost happened to me. my folks took our family on a vacation to St. Thomas, and booked us a snorkeling trip one of the days we were there. dropping into the water, we were already a little spooked by several barracudas just kind of hanging out beneath the boat, but the nervousness dissipated when they seemed uninterested. after some time, me and a few other people noticed a massive sea turtle swimming. I'd never seen one in person before, and it looked so graceful, so we all started kind of following it and just watching. after some time, i noticed i was the only one still following the turtle, as well as how far I'd drifted from the boat and other snorkelers. soon as I became aware of that, i then saw what looked like the silhouette of an 8 foot tiger shark materialize in the distance, seemingly going toward the turtle, as well as me. i never swam so fast in my life. I threw myself on the boat, told them i saw a large shark, and much to my dismay, nobody believed me. likely because i was only maybe about 8 or 10 and had already expressed fear of the barracudas initially when we got in the water. we were there for 5 more days and i didn't go swimming at all during that time.
There was a recent attack in Little Bay, Sydney Australia. A British man got ripped in half by a 14 feet Great White. His medical summary was written as "catastrophic injuries". Such powerful creatures and scary too.
@@alexas3197 Oh yeah. I thought we aren't apart of their "diet." They will bite us and spit it out apparently, said some shark experts. Coming back for Round 2 is a rare case. I think a Great White would eat anything if it was really hungry, which deemed to be so.
Really enjoy your stories about sharks. Scared to death of them. Had an incident in CA many years ago that has kept me completely away from the ocean. Don't even mention going to the beach to me.
Hi Hal, love your show, love the content. I’m afraid to death of sharks but although I have to deal with maybe a bear, cougar and always rattlesnakes, here in Nevada we don’t have sharks! I do wait with baited breath for your show, each one makes my day. I’m curious about something, aren’t abelone endangered? And therefore illegal to hunt them ? I’m not being a Karen I’m just not clear about it. Keep up the excellent videos, peace to you and yours, Hal and everyone!
@@SharksHappen In the USA there is no comercial market (that is legal). Have you looked up Australia's abalone diving industry? Those guys are insane and deal with the men in gray suits all the time.
@@deedeeramone34 Quite a few of the attacks Hal has mentioned are Abalone divers. It is legal in NZ and Aus but with size restrictions and season restrictions etc. Also I believe you cannot use Scuba so they go down on a breath hold or use a Hookah air supply from the boat.
Abalone diving is legal in Japan and Korea except during the abalones mating season, October - December and there is a size limit restriction as well. For centuries it was only women that held their breath and dove for Abalone. I wonder if there’s any record of those attacks? I assume they probably occurred well before the 1900’s and the industry more than likely kept it quite secret.
We have a lot of deadly creatures here in Louisiana. The only two that ever attacked me were copperhead snakes and a bull shark. I`ve swam with gators all my life. I`m not worried about them at all. I got extremely lucky when the bull shark rammed me in 1982 and made me cut a flip in the air and hit my face on the bottom. I lost a strip of meat below my knee to the bone and got a fracture right above it just below my kneecap and still have a big knot on the bone and a big white scar. You won`t see me back in the ocean. Large fish started leaping out of the water right before I got slammed like a truck hit me. I would have a heart attack if I found myself standing in 4 feet deep murky water in the Gulf again.
I have a quandry. Back when I was a kid, mid-70's, there was a story about a shark seen off a jetty on the Oregon coast (Newport?) and this shark was supposed to be, like, between 25 and 32 ft. We don't get whale sharks or basking sharks here in Oregon. The Great Northwestern Tree octopus, yes, but neither of those sharks. Do you think you might be able to find out anything about that. I've tried, believe me, I've tried, but to no avail.
I have a couple attacks up there, but whites. Not sure what that would be other than a basking. The other 20 footers, Greenland, Thresher would not grow that large, and the thresher length is 40 percent tail. I will check my shark books and see if they mention anything
@@SharksHappen It could have been a basking shark, 42 years is a long time to hearken back to, ya know.? It could be a case of 'when we're kids, we think the largest shark in the world is a great white'. It was the "Jaws" era. Thank you for your response. 🙏🏼 I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but YT isn't very prompt on getting notifications back to me. 😒 lol
Hey Hal , I was curious as to what sparked your interest in shark attacks ? Did you have an encounter or get attacked ? Great videos by the way , I always look forward to a new one.
@@SharksHappen Hal, I have always been fascinated with big guppies G.W.'s and Tornadoes 🌪,.. big ones. I have watched almost all the videos on CZcams of both. If I ever got the chance I'd love to see a huge tornado, like a mile or two away. I'd also love to go in a cage with a huge Great White guppy.
@@The-GreenHornet After growing up in Tornado Alley, I can say that any desire to be near a tornado quickly vanishes when one actually hits. It's hard to grasp just how loud & destructive wind can be. Even a "little" tornado can put the fear of God into anyone & remind people how powerless we are against nature. Fortunately, I have only been on the outskirts of small tornadoes but it was enough where I don't waste time heading to the basement any time a tornado warning is issued or sirens sound during storms. It's hard to believe wind can be so loud & destructive.
I read an article about the attack in Byron Bay, and it said that they had this dive buddy sitting with the wife after the attack, trying to support her. She (the dive buddy) was the one doing the interview for the article. One of the other divers was a violinist and had brought his instrument on board. He started playing Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’, as the others on the boat were picking the bits and pieces of this poor man out of the water and putting them in buckets. These two were on their damned honeymoon. So incredibly sad… and could you even begin to imagine how traumatic it would have been to witness that? And you know the poor wife probably has survivor’s guilt, knowing that shark was coming for her before her husband pushed her out of its path and was attacked instead. 🥺😩
The shark doesn't care about people being on their honeymoon, they are just food to them. if you go I t he water you are just food. They knew this and still went in.
@@cheistiandunn7988 why doesn't the shark care that they were on their honeymoon? It really should have chosen someone single or better still, someone who was in a bad relationship and just put them out of their misery. This shark was a real jerk.
I learned to scuba dive in Jamaica, and was surprised, there were hardly any fish there. That's why the diver was so far out from the island, where they could find some. Once I stayed at a hotel, right on a bay there. One morning, about 50 people lined up on the shore, to pull in a huge net they laid out. When they got the net on the shore, I expected to see a lot of fish. There were only about 30 or 40 little ones. And I think I saw only one or two, diving.
@@SharksHappen Once, I I went to Freeport Bahamas, and did only one dive. Before I dove, I told the guy, that I did not want to dive, if there were going to be sharks. He said there wouldn't be any. I dove about 150 dives before, all over the Caribbean, and had never seen a shark, and didn't want to. So I went down,, with about 8 or 9 other divers. When we got down to about 50 ft., the sharks came. There were also about 10 of them, and they slowly circled around us, about 20 ft. away. They were bull sharks, and reef sharks. My impression, was that they were like swimming statues, they were totally fearless. After that, I only remember seeing one shark, about 100 ft. below me. That was all, for 200 or so dives. So they are not everywhere, except the Bahamas !
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last 3 days. So glad I found you on here, love the content! Last story in this video got.. if it can go wrong it will and everything went wrong😅. 13:11 and 13:18 was great😂😂😂

I'm not sure about the physics of "pushing someone out of the way" when you're floating in water. I'm not saying he didn't attempt to, I just don't see how it's physically possible.
I read the same thing in the newspaper back in 1993.

@Chandler Burse the monster term was a figure of speech...like saying worst nightmare.
Wow this dude is refreshingly honest. " After a couple of drinks I could have been in there" lol
Great Show, Hal, as always. I had to come back after viewing the Tiger shark link you left, Holy Crap. I can see how they can swallow someone whole. That thing is massive.
Things of nightmares when they get that big. All 3. Bulls at 13 feet, whites 20 plus and 16 plus tigers seem to become exponentially more frightening.
Again - not only the stories but the way you tell them is what gather people around you. ❤️ Ps I'm always amazed by this fella in the backround. Imagine having this thing behind your back just like shown here
Yes. I wasn't affected by it at first, but now it does.
💯 percent agree with you. It makes me feel like we're friends hanging out and listening to a smart friend with great stories. So glad I found this channel. Subscribed!
I believe the “fella” in the background is Ernest Hemingway.
@@billieford9683 I am so glad you said that.
@@billieford9683 Absolutely NOT! The “Fella” in the background is the Actor, “Robert Shaw” who portrayed “Captain Quint” in the original movie “Jaws”. 👍
The narrator is just awesome and it looks as if he himself was there to witness it.
Thats what you call the story telling skills.
13:00 ...instant sub. I dig this guy
Love how you left in the blooper! Good stuff, Hal.
Really like your videos. I read all the shark attacks books growing up. I like seeing your T-shirts too. Living on an a remote out-island in the Bahamas for so long, I have encountered some crazy huge-sized tigers and hammerheads. I saw three tigers toether, looked like whales, all cruising through a shallow cut. I never speared there again! You rock and have a great channel. Thank you!
That tiger shark was the size and girth of a bus! Holy Moly that is scarey as heck even being dead.
I am always on the look out for a new Sharks Happen Show. This one didn't disappoint. The first local shark attack I ever heard of was La Jolla Cove in the 1950s I believe. A skin diver went missing and the body was never recovered. Not sure if there were any witnesses, but it was assumed a large Great White shark. You've shared a couple of shark attacks that occured near Point La Jolla.
AsMoth files episode 2 features that one - Robert Pamperin,1959. About 20’ GW.
I covered the Pamperin story already. One i have never forgotten since first hearing it.
I learned how to scuba dive at the shore and the cove, for our sea tests. At the time those darn seals were not around. but of course the sharks were still there. There is a trench that the sharks follow into La Jolla. i SAW the shark and a great white but a baby one I assumed because he had no blemishes on skin or scars. I was somewhat insulted. He went right by me not even a how do you do. Graduated 2 years after pool was put in at HS. It did not help my peace of mind but my scuba teacher said to our class. Once your in the ocean, your food. Conduct yourself accordingly.
Hal, you're amazing👏
Great job Hal. I love this content. I guess the red abalone diver in story 3 was between a shark and a hard place...
Lol
Your way of reporting these stories is awesome!
13:00 .... brother, don't worry about it, you've got an interesting, unique and informative channel.
I keep wondering why I watch your channel. I can only assume it's like the pleasurable thrill of watching scary movies: Adrenalin, but no threat. Also, despite talking about horrific incidents, you have a very soothing, authoratitive voice.
The stories still fascinate me like they did when i was 10
Thank you for keeping the "blooper" in place! Much appreciated. Keep up the great work. 🤣😂
No worries I couldn't pronounce that dude's name either. You're doing a great job! Love your channel!
Love the no edit Hal. See what you can find out about 119th Street shark attack this past summer in OC Maryland.
Hi mate I'm from Australia and love Ur show. Dead set the best thing on CZcams.
Also seen a couple of tigers and mate ain't much they wouldn't eat. That 18 footer looks scarier than a GW
I love your way of telling the stories. Keep it up Hal and greetings from Sweden.
A really great show thank you sharks are fascinating but I watch them on TV I don’t want to swim I the ocean and be their dinner!!!
I love your show!! Keep up the good work Hal!!!
I love sharks and have since I was first terrified by the TV-edited version of "JAWS" back in the day (you remember the olden days? We only had three channels and when we got cable, it was only 13 channels? No? Just me? Okay then...). Despite my adoration of them, I will never brave the water and swim with them.
I enjoy your videos because of your storytelling tone of voice and my favorite bit is the "What were you thinking". (I'm deaf/hard-of-hearing, and I can hear your voice clearly without wearing headphones).
Yes and I pre-date your timeline by about 10 years. So I can say remember the mid 1960's when you could only find out about sharks from reading or a Jaques Cousteau TV special on 1 of those 3 channels!
I watched jaws on On Tv…. About a hundred times. Still love that movie!!!
I remember the old days . saw the unedited version in theatre & was horrified to realize what I had swam with many times .realized never again . that's why I am still around & getting old now
I watched Jaws for the first time at a drive thru. By the end of the movie the concrete parking lot wasn't looking too safe
Amazing that you didnt edit out your passion and love for your work….. Loved it!! You are a Boss!! Glad you left it in..
Yeah that was an epic Fbomb around 13:10. I thought he was reading something near the camera, but apparently he has all this stuff memorized, down to the names, locations, depths, times of day… and apparently his response to forgetting small details is rage haha
Looking good Hal...real good. LOL! Keep serving 'em up...ALWAYS appreciated.
I was in Kauai a few years ago snorkeling. I was swimming, facing forward when all of a sudden I feel this huge something brush against my stomach.
For a split second I was like omg! Shark!
I looked down and saw that a huge sea turtle has just swam right underneath me from behind me.
It’s the one time you don’t bother to bring your equipment that disaster tends to strike.
Great show!! I haven't heard much on shark attacks on the Japanese in ww2. They had a lot more ships sunk than we did and we had at least 2 large shark attacks where hundreds were killed.
They definitely knew a lot about shipwrecks and those sharks. Shows in their drowning of 90 people and the Pig Basket attocity
You’re the best, Hal. Really love your videos. Thanks for sharing your info. Happy Holidays!
Great show once again Hal thank you👍I'm from🇬🇮 ,the crossroads between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean sea. Gibraltar has never had a recorded shark attack but I tell you, gw sharks do come into the Mediterranean to give birth every 2 years. So far we have been very lucky but considering the amount of sub saharan immigrants who drown trying to make their into Europe and some corpses are never found make me believe that sharks are cleaning up and perhaps developing a taste for human flesh? I shudder to think. Keep up the good work, fascinating as always 👌
Been reading a lot of migrant and illegal traffic boats… some will make the murder by shark segments
That tiger shark was a beast! You are right Hal it really looks like no tiger shark I've seen. It just morphs into a new beast when it got to such a massive size. The guy who caught it said it ate a hammerhead whole right before it was caught . It's a nightmare monster.
Very true!! Seeing the shape of the teeth was the only way I could tell it was a tiger. It looked a lot like a GW. Makes me wonder when people talk about a 20ft shark and unable to distinguish what type of shark they've seen if it is because of the changes they make as their size increases. They would be very difficult to tell apart at that size, especially since the tigers lose their stripes, so I've just learned. *Crazy pic!!!! Wow!!!*
Any time the shark is 20 or over it is a white. 18 still the biggest on record with a couple unconfirmed 20 footers in the past. 1 oof the 20 footers was measured along the curves adding length.
Thanks Hal we love your channel keep it up please and thank you from 🇨🇦👍🏻
You are growing brotha!! 10,000 subscribers!! Keep it up Hal 😉🙂
Only found the channel this morning and can't get enough, the way it's told is amazing absolutely love channel now keep up the good work💙
Mr Hal im a fan of your work ive seen people try to copy your videos even down to use of google maps like you totally laughable . You are the best out there and i will continue to watch and tell friends about your show. They will never be able to copy The Host thats why you ROCK 🎸
you tell stories so perfectly I can picture whats happening what it looks like down there, also the Quint touch up top if awesome!
That WW2 "pig basket" story was the most horrifying story I have ever heard about the treatment of prisoners. Those poor men...tortured in ways that we can't even imagine for days. Then getting fed, still living, to hungry sharks. To do that to fellow human beings...there are just no words. Anyway, In 1975 when 'Jaws' was released, I was in a book store looking for the Peter Benchley novel and I discovered a book that I mistakingly thought was 'Jaws' (judging it by the big shark on the cover; I think it said "The true story of Jaws", and I'm thinking like the dumb teenager I was "Wow, Jaws is true?" Duh!)... Anyway, is was a compilation of hundreds of actual Shark attack cases from the U.S. Navy's "Shark Attack Files". So I bought it instead of the 'Jaws' novel. Friggin' book gave me nightmares - but I could not put it down. It was absoluty terrifying, very graphic w/photos of ghastly wounds, and all I say is that truth is far more horrifying than fiction. Reading about all of those actual cases, so vivid in their details...by the time I got around to reading the Jaws book, it was ..pretty timid in comparison..Anyway, I don't even read fiction any more because there's so much nonfiction out there which is far more scary and interesting. Glad to see a channel like this recalling many from that book I bought in 1975. Terrific job!
I cannot find the book anywhere. It is the all time best attack book ever published. It had the story, 1800s or so of the thresher shark tail decapitating someone on the boat. I need that book. And it is so much better than that jaws book. The movie is much better than the book. All the characters are slimeballs in the book
@@SharksHappen I'll look for my copy although it's spilt in half due to being read so much. But if I find it I can send it to you. It is a valuable resource; very well organized and well written. The one that got me was the 20 ft Tiger Shark that held a diver in his mouth near the bottom as his dive buddy helplessly looked on, knowing he could do absolutely nothing to help his friend. Or the attacks on the young South American boys that were swimming in rough surf near a dock when multiple sharks attacked them, just ripping them to gory pieces. There so many stories that are pure nightmare material...I'll start digging for it.
Does anyone remember the "shark" issue of National Geographic published circa 1968? Chief Brody is shown reading this issue when Hooper is having a meal at Brody's house.
@@malachiwhite356 I remember that one, my dad had it for years. It had Ron Taylor's famous photo of a 12 foot Great White - taken while leaning off the back of an Australian fishing boat.
I almost vomited upon hearing the pig basket story. It is beyond horrid, what evil mankind can, and will resort to.
Love your show. I found it by chance and cant get enough
Always brilliant and a awesome place to listen to the stories. Sharks amaze me and I find them as a very important part of our great oceans. I still have no interest in swimming around them however.
Thank you kind sir once again.
I LOVE the fact he left in his outburst. Subbed!
@13:10 - I'm laughing my ass off, man! Sorry, not meaning to laugh at your frustration. We appreciate your work! But damn, that surprised me and cracked me up x'D
The most Real, authentic and relatable host,bar none,on U. Tube.Funny & real, passionate in regards to truth,indeed we all are happily entertained by Mr. Hal.
I remember the John Ford attack as a young boy growing up in a Nova Scotia. My father and his friends were talking about it and I still remember to this day them pacing out the 6m from the hallway into the kitchen and feeling so bad for that man and his wife whom he saved pushing her out of the way.
I worked in tool and die and was assembling a 12 foot tall parts rack. When done i told the guys whites get almost double that height. Truly is crazy when you measure it out
@@SharksHappen It is. I used to have Vic Hislops documentaries on VHS. I doubt they are easy to find anymore.
Thanks Hal, always a pleasure!
I just found you the other day and have been going through your videos, loved this one.. keeping it honest and leaving in the mistake, all the other stuff people wrote and like the “what are you thinking !!!
I really enjoy your story telling. 🤙🤙
Glad you went over those pig baskets 1942 murders by shark story. Fascinating but horrific. Evil has no limits!
So do u rationalize the dropping of atomic bombs on women and children civilians?...and the hundreds of thousands who died of radiation after?...people who were not fighting anyone but just living there lives as there leaders wage war...so these bombs that destroyed a whole city and every pet... bird and animal included....this was not evil?....or did fox news give it a justified spin?
How about our slaves?..how about the native americans?..how about all our judicial curruption that only punishes the poor?...is that not evil?
Ps....they killed soildiers who went abroad to war...soildiers that would have killed them if given the chance... Drafted u might say....still dont have to go...ali didnt...
@@abab-ml1ym Seems like atomic justice to me, go argue with God about it.
@@abab-ml1ym Stupid argument. Japanese monsters were known to take even their own out on subs and submerse civilians in shark infested waters…..children included. So your efforts are void.
Hello Hal. Really enjoy your channel
Could you do a spot about the Randy Fry attack near Fort Bragg CA?
If you havn't already. Thanks
It will be soon. Just saw it again in my attack book. Have not put it into a show folder yet tho. I will move it up a bit
Iam happy to see a new Video from you Hal!
I actually appreciate that you didn't edit out messing up the generals name lol I'm still busting up over that part lol
Can you imagine a shark caughing up your husband or wife after an attack.talk about trauma yikes
Lol i just love how down to earth this guy is and just really enjoy his personslity
Been watching your vids for a couple of weeks since I discovered you. Great job ! Been reading and learning about sharks since the age of 12. Looking forward to more informative sessions with you. Thanks !
Another great video! Thanks
Yes Hal! Loving the show also, like all these peeps!
I've been fascinated by sharks since doing a Primary School project about them probably 35 years ago and then getting a copy of Nat Geo's Shark on VHS. I'm now a scuba diver and body boarder and although these attacks do occur and can be horrendous life changing events and even fatalities it is our decision to enter the wilderness that is the ocean, which is the home of large apex predators where we can become part of the food chain! Keep up the good work Hal (and don't say f**k or bugger lol) Respec Ya'll :)
Did I hear Hal saying, Shark F... Soup? Lol, great show!
What's up bra? U got urears lowered, looks nice and respectable. This is officially my favorite channel. I wish the posts were more often. Keep up the great work. 🙏❤️🤗😘☀️🐊🌴☝️💪👊✌️🗽🇺🇲🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Thank You Love the stories!!
Great stuff Hal. Congrats man on 10K. Always a 👍 from me bro. Hey, this might be a dumb question, but what got you interested in shark attacks? Are you a diver or spend time in the ocean. Just a thought. Keep the channel goin man its great. All the best bro! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Never dove, spent an hour in saltwater as a kid in fl. Just love sharks since i can remember. Everything about them
13:10 is the moment I subbed to this channel. Some truth right there
I love to swim in pools that's it I'm good Doreen Jones
Hal, you are a fine story teller, salutes from Germany,
GREAT episode sir. YOU ROCK !!
Holy hell is that tiger shark in the link unbelievably and terrifyingly massive, hard to even believe they can get that big until you see one I suppose(and hopefully only on the internet...never in person, despite the fact itd probably be incredible to see in person). Not hard to believe the damage theyre capable of given how strong they are and just how massive that head is, and the sheer size of each razor sharp serrated tooth.
I laughed out loud when you swore ! 😅🇦🇺
Hal said "now we are gonna go back to Indonesia where our last murder by shark happened" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite CZcams channels.. The shark cases yes but also Hal is great to listen to...
Love the show, my kinda people lol. I’m on the west coast near Mendocino , many great white attacks in Fortt Bragg 👍🏽♥️
Love your honesty and humanity on this channel. Can't wait to see you hit your first 100K subs. 👍👍❤
I always been fascinated and totally terrified of sharks! I won't even go in or on the ocean! Sharks aren't the only thing scary in the ocean!
I am the same way
That's true. Many scary things in ocean .no problem for me. I haven't been in ocean since Seeing Jaws
man something similar almost happened to me. my folks took our family on a vacation to St. Thomas, and booked us a snorkeling trip one of the days we were there. dropping into the water, we were already a little spooked by several barracudas just kind of hanging out beneath the boat, but the nervousness dissipated when they seemed uninterested. after some time, me and a few other people noticed a massive sea turtle swimming. I'd never seen one in person before, and it looked so graceful, so we all started kind of following it and just watching. after some time, i noticed i was the only one still following the turtle, as well as how far I'd drifted from the boat and other snorkelers. soon as I became aware of that, i then saw what looked like the silhouette of an 8 foot tiger shark materialize in the distance, seemingly going toward the turtle, as well as me. i never swam so fast in my life. I threw myself on the boat, told them i saw a large shark, and much to my dismay, nobody believed me. likely because i was only maybe about 8 or 10 and had already expressed fear of the barracudas initially when we got in the water. we were there for 5 more days and i didn't go swimming at all during that time.
Love your show, always entertaining. Alright why did you yell? Did you spill something? I think that is also interesting.
There was a recent attack in Little Bay, Sydney Australia. A British man got ripped in half by a 14 feet Great White. His medical summary was written as "catastrophic injuries".
Such powerful creatures and scary too.
Well after he was ripped in half the shark came back and I imagine theres not much left after that… very graphic.
@@alexas3197 Oh yeah. I thought we aren't apart of their "diet." They will bite us and spit it out apparently, said some shark experts.
Coming back for Round 2 is a rare case. I think a Great White would eat anything if it was really hungry, which deemed to be so.
Really enjoy your stories about sharks. Scared to death of them. Had an incident in CA many years ago that has kept me completely away from the ocean. Don't even mention going to the beach to me.
What happened I am Intrigued
I.m never getting back in....
So tell your story 🙃
I think this guy is my spirit animal
Hi Hal, love your show, love the content. I’m afraid to death of sharks but although I have to deal with maybe a bear, cougar and always rattlesnakes, here in Nevada we don’t have sharks! I do wait with baited breath for your show, each one makes my day. I’m curious about something, aren’t abelone endangered? And therefore illegal to hunt them ? I’m not being a Karen I’m just not clear about it. Keep up the excellent videos, peace to you and yours, Hal and everyone!
They are yes. I think you can still get them recteationally tho and poachers go and get them. Not aware of the commercial side of it tho.
@@SharksHappen In the USA there is no comercial market (that is legal). Have you looked up Australia's abalone diving industry? Those guys are insane and deal with the men in gray suits all the time.
@@deedeeramone34 Quite a few of the attacks Hal has mentioned are Abalone divers. It is legal in NZ and Aus but with size restrictions and season restrictions etc. Also I believe you cannot use Scuba so they go down on a breath hold or use a Hookah air supply from the boat.
Abalone diving is legal in Japan and Korea except during the abalones mating season, October - December and there is a size limit restriction as well. For centuries it was only women that held their breath and dove for Abalone. I wonder if there’s any record of those attacks? I assume they probably occurred well before the 1900’s and the industry more than likely kept it quite secret.
We have a lot of deadly creatures here in Louisiana. The only two that ever attacked me were copperhead snakes and a bull shark. I`ve swam with gators all my life. I`m not worried about them at all. I got extremely lucky when the bull shark rammed me in 1982 and made me cut a flip in the air and hit my face on the bottom. I lost a strip of meat below my knee to the bone and got a fracture right above it just below my kneecap and still have a big knot on the bone and a big white scar. You won`t see me back in the ocean. Large fish started leaping out of the water right before I got slammed like a truck hit me. I would have a heart attack if I found myself standing in 4 feet deep murky water in the Gulf again.
wait....was his name general fuch? ......loving this channel
Good job! Great show!
Yes thankyou for the stories learning alot about sharks and attacks love how you categorized them also thankyou
I have a quandry. Back when I was a kid, mid-70's, there was a story about a shark seen off a jetty on the Oregon coast (Newport?) and this shark was supposed to be, like, between 25 and 32 ft. We don't get whale sharks or basking sharks here in Oregon. The Great Northwestern Tree octopus, yes, but neither of those sharks.
Do you think you might be able to find out anything about that. I've tried, believe me, I've tried, but to no avail.
I have a couple attacks up there, but whites. Not sure what that would be other than a basking. The other 20 footers, Greenland, Thresher would not grow that large, and the thresher length is 40 percent tail. I will check my shark books and see if they mention anything
@@SharksHappen It could have been a basking shark, 42 years is a long time to hearken back to, ya know.? It could be a case of 'when we're kids, we think the largest shark in the world is a great white'. It was the "Jaws" era. Thank you for your response. 🙏🏼 I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but YT isn't very prompt on getting notifications back to me. 😒 lol
There’s great whites in Oregon waters.
So freaking ADDICTED to your channel. Love it!
So essentially they performed the Heimlich Maneuver using oars.
Yes. Lol
This channel is awsome and for me, a Swede, very exotic👌Love sharks and can’t wait to watch more of your clips. Have a nice day☀️
Love the shark stories so interesting to know if they were either attacks or predation. By the way I laughed when you said F,... K 😂
I like the way you do your vids , you get right to it , not wasting time....good job , thanks
Will stay that way also. Everything else can be done in the community section, and i will never read ads…. Not a hocker of things…
Hey Hal , I was curious as to what sparked your interest in shark attacks ? Did you have an encounter or get attacked ?
Great videos by the way , I always look forward to a new one.
As a kid a few things either fascinated me or frightened me. Orcas, sharks and tornado all did both, while astronomy was just fascinating.
@@SharksHappen
Hal, I have always been fascinated with big guppies G.W.'s and Tornadoes 🌪,.. big ones.
I have watched almost all the videos on CZcams of both.
If I ever got the chance I'd love to see a huge tornado, like a mile or two away.
I'd also love to go in a cage with a huge Great White guppy.
@@SharksHappen - I’ve meant to ask at times. I thought you might have been a fisherman or a diver & surfer/swimmer. Shark fisherman maybe. 🦈😂🦈🇦🇺
@@The-GreenHornet After growing up in Tornado Alley, I can say that any desire to be near a tornado quickly vanishes when one actually hits. It's hard to grasp just how loud & destructive wind can be. Even a "little" tornado can put the fear of God into anyone & remind people how powerless we are against nature. Fortunately, I have only been on the outskirts of small tornadoes but it was enough where I don't waste time heading to the basement any time a tornado warning is issued or sirens sound during storms. It's hard to believe wind can be so loud & destructive.
Growing up a block from the beach and surfing in New Smyrna Bch, Fl. sharks are part of our lives. I've had some frightening experiences.
I enjoy your videos. Pretty violent but great stories
I love listening to your stories. You have a great voice and you're real.
Real is right. He doesn’t buy into the BS. 👍
I also appreciate that he doesn't seem to try to hide any mistakes. Like you say, he's real. In more ways than one. His videos are great 👍
These videos are freaking me out- Subbed!
I read an article about the attack in Byron Bay, and it said that they had this dive buddy sitting with the wife after the attack, trying to support her. She (the dive buddy) was the one doing the interview for the article. One of the other divers was a violinist and had brought his instrument on board. He started playing Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’, as the others on the boat were picking the bits and pieces of this poor man out of the water and putting them in buckets. These two were on their damned honeymoon. So incredibly sad… and could you even begin to imagine how traumatic it would have been to witness that? And you know the poor wife probably has survivor’s guilt, knowing that shark was coming for her before her husband pushed her out of its path and was attacked instead. 🥺😩
Wow. I didnt see anything on that or would have shared. Just added a new source where i get much more witness statements
Aw, how tragic 😞
The shark doesn't care about people being on their honeymoon, they are just food to them. if you go I t he water you are just food. They knew this and still went in.
@@cheistiandunn7988 why doesn't the shark care that they were on their honeymoon? It really should have chosen someone single or better still, someone who was in a bad relationship and just put them out of their misery. This shark was a real jerk.
Yea ol boy playing ode to joy was pretty poetic
I cant get enough of this channel. Love it
Just from you saying F with saying that japanese guys name you get an upvote, freaking laughing so hard. best channel ive ran across in a long time
I learned to scuba dive in Jamaica, and was surprised, there were hardly any fish there. That's why the diver was so far out from the island, where they could find some. Once I stayed at a hotel, right on a bay there. One morning, about 50 people lined up on the shore, to pull in a huge net they laid out. When they got the net on the shore, I expected to see a lot of fish. There were only about 30 or 40 little ones. And I think I saw only one or two, diving.
I would not want to see a shark when on the water in a small boat let alone in the water with it. Makes me shudder
@@SharksHappen Once, I I went to Freeport Bahamas, and did only one dive. Before I dove, I told the guy, that I did not want to dive, if there were going to be sharks. He said there wouldn't be any. I dove about 150 dives before, all over the Caribbean, and had never seen a shark, and didn't want to. So I went down,, with about 8 or 9 other divers. When we got down to about 50 ft., the sharks came. There were also about 10 of them, and they slowly circled around us, about 20 ft. away. They were bull sharks, and reef sharks. My impression, was that they were like swimming statues, they were totally fearless. After that, I only remember seeing one shark, about 100 ft. below me. That was all, for 200 or so dives. So they are not everywhere, except the Bahamas !
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last 3 days. So glad I found you on here, love the content! Last story in this video got.. if it can go wrong it will and everything went wrong😅. 13:11 and 13:18 was great😂😂😂
hey thats the best part he's a great narrator but keeping it real 💯 i found him a few days ago as well str8 addict now lol
manda h guy is awesome! say it again for the people in the back!🗣 more addicting than porn lol
Why did I just watch this???!!! I can’t stop thinking of this & imagining MYSELF in this position under water!!! POOR guy- terrifying!!!!!
