This was a great white shark hotspot. Then they mysteriously vanished




Apr 12, 2026

Great white sharks have abandoned a former hotspot in South Africa. Some pin the blame on a pair of orcas. Others point the finger at another culprit: humans.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
