Netflix Film Crew Attacked By Sharks That Bit Huge Holes In Boat While Shooting Docuseries

A film crew working on a documentary for Netflix have recounted how they were set upon by ravenous sharks.

Unfortunately, a crew working on the next series of the nature documentary Our Planet II has been on the receiving end of an unusually aggressive group of sharks.

The Netflix crew were left terrified after being repeatedly attacked by tiger sharks. Tiger sharks are one of a few species that are considered actively dangerous towards people.

Producer Huw Cordey told the Forbes there had originally been a plan to stage an underwater shoot. However, due to tiger sharks repeatedly attacking the boat, this plan was abandoned.

He said: “The original idea was to do an underwater shoot with the tiger sharks waiting in the shallows at Laysan.

“But the first day the tiger sharks were around, the crew got into these inflatable boats — and two sharks attacked them. It was like something out of Jaws.”

Producer/director Toby Nowlan told Radio Times: “This ‘v’ of water came streaming towards us, and this tiger shark leapt at the boat and bit huge holes in it. The whole boat exploded.”
