Tourist ban on 46 miles of Egypt beaches over clip of man being eaten alive by shark

A vast 46-mile stretch of Egypt's coastline has been placed on lockdown after a man was brutally eaten alive by a 10ft tiger shark in the Red Sea.

Authorities in Hurghada said the sea will remain off-limits with a ban on swimming, snorkelling and other water sports until Sunday, while they investigate what happened.

Such attacks are very rare in the country which is likely why the harsh ban has been imposed.
