14-foot shark kills man in rare attack
Hundreds of tourists at a New Zealand beach watched in horror as a massive Great White shark fatally attacked a swimmer, turning the water crimson and sparking a feeding frenzy that brought as many as four other sharks before police firing shots from a lifeboat and a helicopter chased them off and recovered the dead man's body.
The victim, identified as Adam Strange, a 46-year-old father of one, had been swimming more than 600 feet from shore, according to witnesses who were at Muriwai Beach near Auckland. The attack was one of only about a dozen in New Zealand in the past 180 years. Pio Mose, who was fishing at the beach, told The New Zealand Herald he saw Strange struggle against the "huge" shark, estimated at 14 feet. He beckoned the doomed swimmer to nearby rocks, but it was too late. "All of a sudden there was blood everywhere," Mose said. "... I was shaking, scared, panicked." Witnesses told TV3 that they saw other sharks join in on the attack . Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/02...#ixzz2M77G7otp

This wasn't a boat accident.
I can do anything, I'm the chief of police. You're gonna need a bigger boat. This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray, Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8. |

Terrible way to go.
I guess it would be fairly quick though. Terrible for the son. |

The guy fishing prolly baited the fish in, a couple of years ago I was at the beach and there was a man fishing from shore for prolly an hour when I went down to the water to rinse some of the sand off of me only to find myself standing 3 feet away from a shark. Now I know it wasn't a Great White but ive prolly never been more scared in my life, I almost left that Shark a pile of Shark sugar in the water.

"shark fatally attacked a swimmer" ... I've seen this type of wording before but it seems like a poor choice. The attack was fatal to whom? The shark? The swimmer?
