Fisherman Pulled into Water and Killed by Shark in Australia
Prior to 1906, an Australian fisherman attempting to haul a massive blue pointer shark onto a rocky ledge lost his footing and fell into the water.
The shark, estimated to be 14–15 feet long, dragged the man under. Within seconds, he was torn apart. Witnesses reported that the water turned red with blood almost immediately.
