Unprovoked Shark Attacks
|
The picture above represents the confirmed unprovoked shark attacks through out the world from
1580 - 2005.
14 Year Old Attacked By Shark off Georgetown Beach
A bull shark was said to be the culprit of a Georgetown beach shark attack. The girl was rushed to the
hospital after being bitten by a shark. The shark was said to have bitten her foot while swimming off the beach.
The girl claims she remembers seeing several sharks in a school swimming around her and that is when she was
bitten on the foot
"When I first got bit, it didn't hurt because it hadn't really clicked yet, didn't seem real. Then when I
looked back at my foot, all the blood in the water, I started screaming and I freaked out. Then I blacked out
and the next thing I remember was being on the sand."
The bite was not as severe as she had though, but she still required 70 stitches to close the wound. She was
extremely lucky the surrounding sharks did not jump in on the bloody watered action.
