at California beaches: link to news.
"Lucas Ransom, a 19-year-old student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was bodyboarding with friend Matthew Garcia off Surf Beach some 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles on Friday when the shark pulled him under the water. He resurfaced with his leg nearly severed amid what Garcia told The Associated Press was a wave of pure red."
Horrible.
Still in shock at the death of Fran Crippen.

The chance of being eaten by sharks is not the point. The point is it is a horrible death.

The point is: WE are supposed to eat fish; not fish us.

When we pull them out of their world, we win. But when we enter their domain, they get to make the rules.
Condolences to the family. I was up that way this past weekend and cast many an eye towards the water, wondering if I'd see the landlord.
Eek! another one off WA.
When I saw "WA" I thought "Washington," but it actually happened in Western Australia.
I believe that most shark atttacks worldwide happen in (or near) Australia
Oppps!
According to Wiki, I was wrong. Most shark attackis are in the US.
I still suspect that per capita that Aussie waters are more dangerous. After all, a shark would have to have stones to attack Crocodile Dundee.

hahaha
actually a lot of the beaches in the Sydney area are shark netted. Good from a human perspective but very bad for the poor critters that get caught and drown :(
Maybe they'll do away with them soon.
