  1. We should all know already, Sharks are the king of the seas.

  2. shark attacks are extremely common despite what you might of heard or read or whatever

  3. I didn't even know the red sea had sharks..😳

  4. Tiger ? Bull ? Longimanus ?

  5. Sharks are scared of rhe smell of rotting shark corpses
    We need to find out what the chemicals are that make the smell and make a jacket like mace so if they bite it the smell is released or make bouys with the smell inside them so sharks stay away from regions where the bouys are

  6. Shark is our delicacy. I just cooked yesterday.

  7. Egypt is sh*t hole I wouldn't go even for free there

  8. I'm a diver and have travelled on liveaboards in this region and sadly, I'm surprised these incidents don't occur more regularly. Before I begin, it's VERY IMPORTANT to start with the point that SHARKS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem is how resorts manage tourist access to the ecosystems they're based in.

    The Red Sea has an abundance of oceanic white tips and other open water predators; they're biologically programmed to be more curious out of necessity given scarcity of food in their environment. They're so abundant that I practically straddled one stepping in to commence a dive – it was as shocked as I was. The feeding zone is usually 0-5 metres below the surface. As a diver, you have to descend as quickly as possible.

    So you can understand why I was shocked to sail past resorts' 'snorkelling zones' marked by buoys that floated over a steep drop-off into the open ocean. This, combined with the irresponsible waste of animal carcasses from passing ships, means you have the risk of unsuspecting swimmers coming into contact with curious predators.

    This is a very sad incident and it's about time resorts and tour companies took more responsibility.

  9. If I knew sharks were in the Red Sea,I’d have never gone reef scuba diving in Egypt 🙀

  10. Is that all abc reports on? People dead?

  11. The Red Sea have clean water amazing beaches and it's rare to see some sharks

  12. Was there the day the attack in same area and I am aware of the danger at the red sea my first time in hurghada and this happens a day befor my arrival and me with all the thinking of sharks talling about the law of attraction well i believe i attracked sharks to hurghsda since i was all time thinking and talking about sharks possible appearance in the area as its same sea as sharm el sheik and I kept my eyes on the water while swimming and did not swim deep in eventhough i always do but never i will in the red sea

  13. I actually had a odd dream last night of shark attacks is this what they call dusa vue or what ever.

  14. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, China's invasion of Taiwan and suppression of minority human rights, Hong Kong's communization, trade retaliation, one-on-one, Northeast Project, Japan's denial of history and World War II victim cosplay, and arms rearmament are violating the basic order of liberal democracy. Therefore, the existing UN should withdraw Russia, China and Japan from denying democracy and organize a third international organization following the International Federation and the United Nations, focusing on NATO, the United States, and 16 countries participating in the Korean War. The UN's mission is now out of date and should be reorganized around democratic countries.

  15. What is there to investigate!. They were attacked and now they are dead. It's time to get into a boat or two and take out the Starks that are within a 1 miles radius of shore, place nets around the swimming area's so the swimmers are safe. After all the stark isn't going to tell you he ate them. INVESTIGATING! Pretty sure you already know the outcome the this investigation: Crimes: two killed by shark or sharks. Investigation done and solved. So How Do Something about it!.
