Man who filmed vicious shark attack so clear you could hear scream is still haunted by it

This horrifying video is certainly not for the faint-hearted

Footage from a vicious shark attack is so clear you can hear the screams and the bloke who filmed it is still haunted by the experience.

Back in 2018, Dan White took the video a whopping 10 metres below the surface of the water. You can watch it here:

The Surrey man was over in Egypt, completing his deep diver certification.

However, as they were down under the water, a whitetip shark swam over to White’s diving group and tore a man’s muscles ‘completely’ off his leg.

The terrifying clip shared to YouTube started off much more innocently, as the diver began filming as he thought it was ‘a cool encounter’.

Only a day before this dive, the group had already came across three of these sharks and had ‘no trouble at all’.

But things took a horrifying turn.

Several German divers who were swimming in the same area joined White’s group and the shark’s behaviour began to change.

He told Tracking Sharks at the time: “As I was filming, I noticed that one of the outlet diver’s bubbles spooked the shark and it turned to investigate.”

The video shows the animal make its way over to the divers’ level and swim towards them.

The shark then begins to attack one of the divers, with the clip showing it biting into its victim’s leg.

Dan retold this scary encounter to the BBC’s Why Sharks Attack: “It bit into the diver's leg, latched on, thrashed around and ended up going over almost like a cartwheel.

“It was crazy, it wouldn't let go for what felt like forever. It ended up tearing his calf muscle completely off his leg.”

The man’s calf was ripped to shreds and the shark had not only destroyed his calf muscle, but also bitten down to the bone.

“There was a big plume of blood in the water. Another diver started screaming you could hear her scream - a shriek noise in your ear." Dan said.

"It's horrifying to listen to.”

The shark was an oceanic whitetip, which are known to be dangerous.

Despite the group being so far below the surface of the water, you can hear the haunting scream in the video.

After the shark attack, the man was helped up the surface where he was heaved out from the water.

Before being rushed to shore, first responders administered pain medication and applied a tourniquet to the man’s leg, which miraculously didn’t need to be amputated. He was then taken to hospital.

Unsurprisingly, YouTube users were quick to express their shock beneath the video, with one person writing in the comments: “Very scary footage.”

Another added: “Wow, absolutely terrifying,” while a third penned: “The most chilling part of this is still being able to hear the screaming under water.”
