This FREAK STINGRAY DEATH is why I don't like fucking with the ocean!
 

When I lived in Puerto Rico and saw all of the vicious things that came out of that beautiful ocean, I changed my preference to rivers and waterfalls...

On CNN they have breaking news that a woman was off the coast of florida sunbathing on a BOAT.....The stingray jumps out of the ocean and into the boat and then stings her in the face....

She died.....

When it's your time to go . . .

something will go horribly wrong in this thread

that Steve Irwin cartoon is just WRONG! but that is so very weird!


MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A woman sunbathing on a boat died after a stingray leaped from the water off the Florida Keys on Thursday and struck her, officials said.

The dead stingray lies on the deck of a boat in Florida.

"It's just as freakish of an accident as I have heard," said Jorge Pino of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "The chances of this occurring are so remote that most of us are completely astonished that this happened."

He said it was not clear whether the 55-year-old Michigan woman died from the blow to her head, from the ray's barb piercing her or from her fall backward.

The accident happened off the coast of Marathon Key, in the Florida Keys about an hour's drive south of Miami. The woman, who was with her husband and children, was taken to the Mariner Hospital in Tavernier, where she was pronounced dead.

Pino said he had seen stingrays leap into the air, but added, "it's very rare for them to collide with objects."

Results from an autopsy to be conducted by the medical examiner will be combined with witness statements and evidence from aboard the vessel to determine the cause of death, he said.

The spotted eagle ray weighed about 75 pounds, said Becky Herrin, a spokeswoman for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

The species, also called a leopard ray or bonnet skate, can measure up to 8 feet in length, with an 8-foot tail, and weigh up to 500 pounds, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History's Web site.

They tend to swim close to the surface and can leap out of the water when being pursued, according to the site.

Steve Irwin got what he deserved. He had been fucking with that stingray like he did every other animal. It was a matter of time before he got killed.


As for this woman. I wonder if this story will turn out like the one in Florida where the shark attacked the kid in 2 feet of water. Turned out that the shark had been caught, and pulled up towards the shore, and they were posing with it. Not like the story they told the police that it just attacked for no reason.

If I ever want to murder someone i am going to throw a wild animal at them.

Yea, Irwin took risks, just that cartoon ideas is so disturbing...who else is made fun of in death?

Jesus Christ walks into a hotel. He hands the inkeeper three nails and asks...

"Can you put me up for the night?"

You know what he does not eat M & M's??


they fall though the holes in his hands.

A lot of people who die in absurd, unfortunate or ironic ways.

"In 2000, 23-year-old Italian actor Renato Di Paolo was portraying Judas in a play outside of Rome on the day before Easter. His depiction of the hanging scene was so realistic that nobody realized for several minutes that he actually had accidentally hanged himself, and was dead."

The Feb. 08 issue of GQ magazine had a good article "Violence of the Lambs" P116. that talked about animals lashing out at humans. They said in over 300 years there had never been a single stingray attack on humans. The latest incident is the 3rd in less than a year! Looks like we might have to rely on Flipper re-runs in the future for our oceanic exploits.....

load of crap . .

I looooove the ocean. Couldn't live without it.

You should get certified and dive. I bet it would change your outlook.

First Irwin, now this woman. Looks like the Stingrays are ready to start their world domination plans.

Why did you leave PR, did you move back to the states?

can stingrays jump ?

It didn't sting her, she was struck in the head and died of head injuries.

Stingrays don't attack people. Ever.

They do defend themselves if provoked or stepped on.

They also like to jump out of the water.
What happened today was purely an accident.

I once stepped on one while surfing and took a barb to my ankle that required
a trip to the hospital. I'm still surfing :thumbsup

I am a water baby. I will never stop swimming in the Ocean, it is what I love.

I dont swim in the ocean because of that ..

Fuck That.

Children issues and yes.....for now.

obviously if the muthafucka jumped out of the water.

How the fuck do you know? You know the coroner?

Unless it's Hawaii....Fuck that.

I like swimming in the ocean too...It has excellent healing properties...I just don't go in too deep.

That's one of the craziest things I've heard!

Tellin ya folks, Sting rays are revolting and waging a war on humans.
