Sydney beaches shut after first fatal shark attack in decades
Most of Sydney's beaches have shut after Australia's busiest city saw its first fatal Shark Attack in 59 years.
Authorities say the male victim was just off Little Bay in east Sydney on Wednesday afternoon.
Officials have Not Yet identified The Man . He had been swimming just offshore in choppy waters.
Shark attacks in Sydney are uncommon because The City has long had nets and other deterrents in its waters.
However swimmers were banned from The City 's beaches on Thursday, as surf lifesavers on jet skis patrolled a 25km (15. 5 miles) stretch of water from Bondi in The City 's east to Cronulla in The South to find the shark. Authorities are also using helicopters and drones.
The State government said its shark experts had estimated The Predator to be a white shark " at least three metres" in length based on footage of The Incident taken by a member of The Public .
Several passers-by who witnessed The Scene have described a vicious and frenzied attack.
" (The person) was swimming and a shark came and attacked (them) vertically, " Kris Linto told Nine News .
" We heard a yell and turned around, it looked like a car had landed in the water, a big splash then the shark. "
One Man recounted how he had been fishing on The Rocks when he saw The Swimmer get Dragged Under .
" I was terrible. I Am shaking. I keep vomiting. It's very, very upsetting, " he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
Authorities managed to retrieve Body Parts from the water two hours after The Attack .
The area's state MP Michael Daley said locals were shaken by the " horrific" incident. The Victim had been a regular visitor. " [He] came here and swam nearly everyday, " he told the ABC.
" It's a Beautiful Day at one of Sydney's most beautiful beaches, but there's a real dark pall hanging over our community today, " He Said .
An ocean swimming race in the nearby area is still scheduled for this Sunday. Organisers say they are keeping an eye on conditions.
