Great, makes me feel safe, not a chance that it is the same shark. What he really means is that there are more than one that are attacking out there.

The teen was pulled ashore by his friends, and a doctor who happened to be nearby began treatment before the boy was taken to the hospital

That saved his life.

Marine hunters need to rally down there and do some serious shark population downsizing, and quick.

Shark is good meat. They can send me some when they are done.

I saw his picture as they were loading him into the ambulance. His face was as white as a sheet. He must have lost a lot of blood. I hope he makes it. Poor kid. Prayers go out for him.

I was tempted to post a *.gif image of a shark fin going back and forth. Also considered embedding a brief sound clip from 'Jaws.' But that would be too much work. Besides, I really feel sorry for this young boy. Florida is going to catch hell this year. More hurricanes and now shark attacks. The Keys are really beautiful but I have decided against going there for vacation.

I would have thought waist-deep water was fairly safe from sharks. This is like a horror movie.

I admire his friends' courage for beating the shark off him.

The press forgot to quote the shark expert who also said yesterday...

That there was no way this shark 'mistook' the human
for baitfish...it was looking for human prey...

These sharks have developed a taste for human flesh..

Remember the USS Indianapolis. Eat more shark! It's good for you and keeps the beaches safer.
