Grace Turns to Horror
Masha, a 22-year-old performer, was mesmerizing spectators with her elegant movements inside an aquarium tank.
Dressed in a mermaid tail and bikini top, she glided through the water, surrounded by seemingly calm fish. However, the serene atmosphere quickly turned chaotic when a gigantic fish suddenly lunged at her as she ascended toward the surface.
Terrifying Attack Caught on Camera
Eyewitnesses were left stunned as the massive fish bit Masha’s face, targeting her head, neck, and eye. Panicked screams filled the venue as she struggled to break free. Fortunately, she managed to escape and swim to safety.
Injuries and Controversy
According to The Daily Mail, Masha suffered painful injuries but was allegedly forced to return to the tank to complete her performance. Reports from Russian media suggest that her employers offered her only £78 as compensation while forbidding her from speaking about the incident.
The park is now facing criticism for allegedly downplaying the attack and failing to provide adequate support for the injured performer.
