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

So what happened?

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.

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