It was the day the sea turned red on a UK beach when over 800 holidaymakers were injured as witnesses described the event as 'like a scene from Jaws '.
On a warm Sunday in August 10, 1998 the day began with sightseers basking in the sunshine until a few hours later between 800-1,000 people were suddenly injured on Paignton Beach.
People were covered in blood and mass panic began as emergency services were called, DevonLive reported.
