Lifeguards ‘laughed at tourist’s shark warning just MINUTES before beast killed 1st victim in double attack at resort

LIFEGUARDS were caught “laughing” at a tourist’s shark warning just MINUTES before a beast killed its first victim in a double attack as the resort. Holidaymakers warned the lifeguards of the presence of sharks 15 minutes before Austrian woman Elisabeth Sauer, 68, was fatally attacked, according to claims. The victim of the first shark attack has been named locally as Elisabeth SauerFACEBOOK/The Green Kramsach Desperate tourists at a pier tried to help the woman being mauled to deathEast2West The body of the second woman was pulled out by the beach of 5* Premiere Le Reve Hurghada hotel in EgyptEast2West It’s also said they “laughed” and said: “There are no sharks in Sahl Hasheesh and never have been.” It comes as a Romanian woman who was killed in a shark attack had been missing from her 5-star hotel for two days, say sources in the Red Sea resort where she was mauled to death.  If true, this means the authorities were slow to grasp the true peril faced by holidaymakers in the popular Egyptian resort.  It may even be that the Romanian woman was eaten alive before an attack on an Austrian woman who had been believed to be the first victim.  MORE ON SHARK ATTACKS SHARK SIGHTING Lifeguard recovering after he was bitten by shark off popular beach SAVED FROM JAWS Girl, 17, has leg ripped off by shark before hero brother fights off beast The body of the Romanian woman in her 40s  – “disfigured” by a shark attack –  was found on coral at least two days after she was reported missing.  Russian tourists say that the recovery team prevented them filming the macabre scene as her ravaged human remains were  packed into body bags. One eyewitness claimed “half of her body was missing.” Another tourist heard speaking in a beachside bar recounting what he has just seen.

Erase’.” Some 650ft away, pensioner Sauer had been seen on video desperately swimming back to a pier despite losing an arm and leg in her vicious mauling. She died from nervous shock as paramedics tried to revive her.  Now a Russian resident of Hurghada — named Zhanna — has revealed how the Romanian woman had been missing from adult-only Premiere Le Reve hotel. “She was found on coral…her body disfigured,  a citizen of Romania,” she revealed.  She had been “missing from her room for two days”. She alleged: “After the first victim, no one closed any beaches.  “I swam freely… “They, as always, wanted to hide it, but when it became known there were two victims, they finally stirred.” She told Russian news outlet gazette.ru: “A working group of specialists was formed to find out the reasons for the behaviour of the sharks.  “The Russian consulate warned Russian tourists.  “There is no particular panic, the residents both swam and paddled.  “Let’s see how the governor of the Red Sea reacts.  “They don’t want to lose tourists, but they don’t do anything to prevent this either.” An online chat site for Russian tourists provides compelling evidence that lifeguards ignored the acute danger of sharks, and failed to order tourists out of the water.  “English-speaking people standing at the pier saw a shark 15 minutes before  the attack, and warned the lifeguards,” said the post.  “But they laughed at them, saying there are no sharks in Sahl Hasheesh and never have been. “Another two tourists jumped onto the reef top, escaping a shark, and pleaded for help. “But the lifeguards shouted to swim from the place to the pontoon stairway by themselves.  “To put it bluntly, everything is Egyptian style.  “There is no science, no proper system. “They just made a lad from Luxor the lifeguard  and gave him a whistle.” There are confused timings in reports over the discovery of the Romanian woman’s body.  The first accounts of the body being found appear to be on 2 July.  Read More on The Sun BURGER & FINES McDonald's warning as drivers face £200 fine & 6 points for common mistake 'TICKING BOMB' I'm allergic to strong emotions - sweating, laughing or crying could kill me If she had been missing for two days, this suggests she was last at her hotel on 30 June.  Sauer was attacked on 1 July in the late afternoon.  A 68-year-old tourist from Austria pictured seconds after a shark attack at Hurghada, EgyptEast2West Horrified onlookers spotted the woman trying to swim to the shore after the attack
