And before that, what, a decade?
Fascism isn’t a threat. Communism is what we have to worry about.
White sharks....
RIP to the lady who died. The description from the newscaster said she was flung up out of the water. My money is on a LARGE white shark, with the strength to do that. That’s what they do to seals, when attacking from below. I hope she did not suffer :(
My shark biologist friend told me earlier tonight that the FATAL attack was not to far from the recent seal bitten carcass that washed up yesterday. -The seal had a shark bite radius indicting a good sized white shark. -Tom
White sharks are racists. Black sharks matter. ....
I hope the shark didn’t catch COVID-19.
Ive dove in pretty cold water in a wet suit. Mine was 1/4 thick and black. Reckon I looked lik a seal? Wonder how old she was, what she was doing, and wish her family well. RIP.
I used to live around there, and can remember in the summertime seeing large schools of seals of Fort Popham.
Of course!
Apparently she was swimming with another woman when the shark came up and drove her out of the water.
To get more details we will have to wait until the relatives are notified.
Since someone was next to her in the water, and there was an eyewitness from shore the story should be accurate when it emerges. - Tom
Yes Im sure thats true. Diving youre suited up and wearing a tank and stuff. Fluttering around swimming like a surface water bass plug or a seal well things change. If large mouth bass were 9 long or bug spray smelled like elk blood more crap would happen in farm ponds and the Rockies, its still a shame. We all live in a crap game. Some times diamonds, some times snake eyes.
Perfect picture
Did sharks not get the memo? Dr. Fauci said all of us need to social distance ourselves by staying 6 feet away!
The water in New England & in ME is “too damned cold” for this Southern boy 12 months a year.
Do they think that today’s shark attack was a GW or maybe a MAKO??
Yours, TMN78247
Do they know the type of shark?
Great White, Tiger or Bull?..................
There are no sharks in these cold waters.....................
Most likely Great White. Tigers are a warm water shark(Hawaii).
Bull sharks have never been seen north of NJ. Again, the water is too cold.
B-b-but CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!....................
