Netflix documentary team attacked on the Pacific Ocean by 15-foot Tiger sharks: “It was like something out of Jaws”

When they saw sharks in the Pacific Ocean seas north of Hawaii, a Netflix documentary film team was shocked. The terrifying event occurred when 15-foot Tiger sharks attacked the inflatable boats the group was drifting in.

Tiger sharks, according to National Geographic, “duly earned reputation as man-eaters.” “Only great white sharks attack more people than they do. However, they are unlikely to swim away after biting a person, as great whites usually do, since they have an almost tasteless palate, it claims. Because of the vertical stripes that may be seen on them, mostly on youngsters, tiger sharks get their name.

The team’s goal for the six-day mission was to gather underwater video. They were gathering film for David Attenborough’s “Our Planet II” of a Laysan albatross taking its first flight. Producer/director Toby Nowlan spoke about their horrible experience in an interview with RadioTimes.com.

“This ‘v’ of water rushed in our direction, then a tiger shark sprang out and bit enormous holes in the boat. The whole boat blew up, Nowlan said. “We tried to remove it, but it was having none of it. It was awful. That day, we were attacked by two sharks, including that one.

The sharks’ conduct, according to Nowlan, was “extremely unusual.” He speculated that they may not have had enough natural food since they were so ravenously hungry and were just eating everything they could find in the water.

The squad made it back to shore safely despite being within a half-mile from land, according to Nowlan. They next launched a tiny rubber dinghy, which was similarly assaulted, but this time by enormous trevallies. Its engine was destroyed by the fish, which may weigh up to 132 pounds.

Producer of the show Huw Cordey told The Sun that the occurrence “was like something out of Jaws” when describing it. “The first plan was to do an underwater shot while Laysan’s tiger sharks waited on the foreshore. However, the crew entered these inflatable boats on the first day the tiger sharks were there, and two sharks attacked them, according to Cordey. “Suffice it to say, they didn’t get any underwater shots.”
