Now--this has been all over the news. How much more 'education' do people need?
There are SHARKS THAT WILL EAT YOU in the waters off the coast of Florida RIGHT NOW. Gulf and Atlantic coasts!
Splash in the surf- DO NOT GO SWIMMING!
I mean-OY! Would anyone jump into a river where alligators were killing people? What is this? Play the odds in the ocean time?
ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who is attacked by a shark AFTER these stories have been everywhere, dies because of STUPIDITY.
Never has been a shark attack in the hotel pools.
Swim there.

I thought he said he slapped at the water and the shark then started to circle around again giving him time to get away from the blood filled water.

If they would let the fishermen go after the sharks right up to the shore this problem would go away.

The surf zone belongs to man we need to start enforcing the no-sharks zone.

Using himself as live bait, Dicus said, ``I swam away from them and started slapping the water and kicking to distract the shark.

God Bless this incredibly brave young man

George Burgess, a researcher at the University of Florida, who investigates shark attacks worldwide, was at the scene and called the attack ''unusual'' for Florida water, mainly because of the shark's aggression.

This was not a normal Florida attack, Burgess said. Usually a shark will make a mistake, thinking it's a fish, Burgess said. ``In this instance, the shark apparently very knowingly went after a large prey item and persistently tried to follow through on its normal feeding behavior, which would be to come back and attack again and again.

It was the third unprovoked fatality this year, he said.

They seem to have found an appetite for human flesh...time to kill them all
