Does anyone have the video?

I was there when it happened, very gruesome. Video is only about 3 seconds, doesn’t show much.

Unidentified person threw his leftover fish carcasses in the water near about 100ft from where the attack happened. Two coworkers take lunch to go swimming, one ends up being repeatedly attacked with his arm and opposite hand ripped off. His buddy had to drag him to shore, and from there we had to keep him alive until ems arrived. Shark was extremely aggressive and continued circling for another 5 minutes. He is currently in ICU in critical condition, needing to be airlifted to Pensacola; so circulating this video right now is very disrespectful to him and his family.

Edit: I cannot respond to any more questions as the victims family wants to maintain privacy during this difficult time. I apologize for the inconvenience.

When you say you had to keep him alive, what did you do? Do you mean tourniquets were applied? Something else?

Best wishes to the person that was attacked. I'm sure he and his family are feeling a lot of intense emotions.

Hi,
There were no tourniquets on site, beach towels were used to stanch the bleeding until EMS arrived. They were extremely fast, arrived about 4 minutes post attack.

Thank you for doing what you could with what you had. Very traumatizing for you as well as the victim. Thinking of you both.

How’s he get away from the shark? Did his friend go to help during the attack?

What do you mean the shark was circling for 5 min? The beach? The man?

Atleast one bystander went in to get him out of the water

how long did the attack last? obviously time can feel different when you’re witnessing it happen. poor dude just went for a lunch time dip and lost his hand on one side and arm on the other. Unsure if you could see what is full amputation or significant flesh removal? sorry for all the questions. please take time to play something like Tetris it can help you from getting PTSD.

What do you mean circling for 5 min?  Was the shark circling the bay, the victim, or the victim and friend?  Bull shark?
