Two teenagers lost limbs in separate shark attacks at the same North Carolina beach on Sunday.
Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace told CNN that a teenage girl lost her left arm and left leg in an attack around 4:15 p.m. EDT.
Less than 90 minutes later, as responders were still tending to her, a teenage boy was then attacked.
"His arm was clean off," said witness Jason Hunter, who spoke with CNN affiliate WWAY.

Don’t swim close to a fishing pier, folks. Prayers for the two kids and their families. Oak Island is a small, old-fashioned family beach, mostly small beach cottages, very few hotels or condos. One of the few Atlantic coast beaches where you can see the sun set over the ocean. Good shelling.

And according to Animal Planet (Direct TV Ch 282) Shark Week doesn’t start until July 5.

A terrible situation for those kids, I wonder how long until the gaia worshippers blame global, er, climate change. Prayers for the teens.

From Miami Herald: I saw someone carry this girl (out of the water) and people were swarming around and trying to help, he said. It was quite terrible. There was a lot of blood he said and that people were trying to apply makeshift tourniquets to stop the bleeding. He added that people were asking her questions to try to keep her conscious. It was quite nightmarish, he said. It was so much like a scene from Jaws, his wife Brenda added

“Money pit” is a good way to describe most beach houses.

I was there this entire weekend - stayed about a quarter of a mile west of there on the beach. The beach is eroded terribly and there is a severe drop off so, we stayed out of the water.
So sad. I hope those kids will be ok.

Different Oak Island. This one is in Nc near Southport. The money pit is in Nova Scotia.

How long before they blame this on global warming? I mean, come on, you KNOW they’re going to.

I have to ask; what are the parents thinking, there was already one attack, but it’s over so you guys can go back in the water. Yea. um-hah

Before reading the rest of the article, my first question was about what attracted the attack. The answer is apparently in the article. Never get in the water soon after blood is in the water, and never swim near a pier in the ocean.

I’ve been wondering if something like this will happen in Orange County, CA. About a dozen juvenile Great Whites have been feeding just offshore this year but without incident- so far.
