“The man was swimming near the marina with a colleague during his lunch break when the attack happened.” Bad time to be swimming on your lunch break.

Species not identified. My money would be on a bull shark.

Shark attacks happen with some regularity in Hawaii but you never hear about them. Locals think of sharks as spirit animals and shark attacks are the price that people pay for going into their territory.

All those "more likely" options...don't apply....

we're talking about a man swimming in waters where sharks are king.

Hey, that guy’s being attacked by a shark. What should I do? I know, grab my phone and record it. Despicable.

Depending on the marina, there can be a lot of fish scraps in the water.

Missing from the story is how he was rescued. Did someone swim out there and chase the shark away? Boaters pulled him in? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Despite their presence, Carlson said the risk of an attack remains extremely low

Are there Mako sharks that far north?
We were always warned about them around Miami Beach and the keys.. especially during mating season.

If we let the Asians make more shark fin soup, there will be fewer sharks in the ocean, and therefore, more fish and fewer shark attacks on humans. That should be common sense, but some people feel sorry for the sharks. I don’t.
