Great White Shark Kills Woman Off South African Coast

I love Great White Sharks. I plan to dive right in and swim with them one day. :Graucho

very scary

the one reported on in the story, the man eater, or rather, the woman eater, is as big as the shark in "Jaws"

the shark was 18 ft long. damn that was scary.

Kings of the sea. I wouldn't want to be in their domain when they're hungry.

That's just horrible, poor woman!:(


That's why when I swim at the ocean, I don't swim far.....:glugglug

I hate when the AP posts this stuff w/o pictures!

that would suck

"estimated to be at least 18 feet long attacked and presumably killed an elderly South African woman"

"About 15 people witnessed the attack. "

Doesn't compute!

uh oh, if TheEnforcer sees this thread, it could get a little weird aroundhere
;-))

huh?

explain that

I keep telling you people that if you swim in the ocean you are nothing more than shark food!!

You shouldn't swim in the ocean at all. When you do you are nothing more than one big piece of shark food!!

he'll break into his "if you swim in the ocean, you're nothing but shark food" rant
oops, I see it's happened already

can i watch? :angel

the lady ws 77 years old, i hope i go out in a cool way like that instead of diein in some hostital bed

great thanks, I am glad that I don't plan to go to the ocean anytime soon:winkwink:

i hope you guys realize your more likely to be struck by lightning than to die from a shark attack

god dam now thats one big shark :Graucho

Most definitely. Cage dive first. Then we'll have to wait and see how the latest and greatest repellants work.

They've got one that sends of an electric signal around your body that irritates the sharks to no end, so they don't bother getting too close.

Lol, I just had to reply because your post was so off the mark.

1) The woman was 77 years old, time to go. That was a bit rude, I know.. but better her than some 15 year old kid.

2) I saw a documentary about a fisherman who lost his leg to a shark while waist deep in water.

So.. unless you don't plan to go deeper than kneedeep you're potential sharkfood.

..then again, you have a bigger chance of dying from medusas or being swept away by currents than from a shark.

hhmm... interesting.
