Horrifying footage too graphic to share was captured of the shark attack that killed a 59-year-old Australian tourist in New Caledonia on the weekend.
The confronting video showed the desperate efforts of two lifeguards who on Sunday scooped the extensively injured man from the ocean and brought him to shore after he was attacked about 4 p.m.
He had been swimming about 500 feet from a jetty in Noumea when a shark, believed to be a tiger shark about 13 feet in length, bit him several times on the legs and arms.

One of the lifeguards pulled him from the vessel onto the sand while the other ran up the beach for help.
