[@petyrbaelish1718]

Nothing compared to the 12 year old Jewish girl in the holocaust who had 7,000 stitches due to organ removal experiments and torture. The 7,000 stitches were only during a 2 week period as well. I think they deliberately cut tissue, muscle, arteries, organs etc as part of the experiments. Then attempted to sow it up and repair everything as part of the testing, so they can apply practices on the battlefield. She lived for about 2 weeks before dying of sepsis.

I would not go back as closure may well be the same shark finishing the job it started....no one knows the reason it attacked or if it will be better next time at ambushing it's victim. Fear is a good thing it protects bravery or fool heartedness is another thing all together.

I got chills when Keane said his hemoglobin was at 4 when he got to the hospital, and he said most people die when there levels 3

What he said made no sense, you don't die from low levels of hemoglobin, he is confused

[@gracebrayne5728]

ᵀʰʳᵉᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵃ ᴷⁱⁿᵈ nah that’s not true. It does have to do with his hemoglobin level... and blood litres loss so when you hit level three you usually have a cardiac arrest

"Unprovoked shark attacks" lolol....this makes me laugh as if it suggests that some swimmers tease, aggravate, or annoy the sharks. I think we "provoke" them the moment we enter their home uninvited.

[@michellegeorge6448]

@Sarah Sánchez Alpízar yeah right.

[@tinahuttner7280]

It's a shared environment. These people were just mistaken for food cause the sharks can smell their blood.

[@water9584]

@Sarah Sánchez Alpízar Climate change has nothing to do with it. It's a normal process. Do you want to live somewhere where it's really cold? OK, go ahead. You'll have more trouble living in cold regions than in warm regions. So be happy it get's a little bit more warm.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

It’s good that sharks bite once and then leave. Like maybe they think your a seal or something yummy and then they bite you and are disgusted

[@heehee3937]

Daryns _world you’re actually correct, a lot of the time from underneath on a surf board you somewhat resemble a turtle; which is why a lot of surfers are attacked by sharks. but yeah, sharks generally only bite once because of how bony humans are, and they tend to go for more fatty things such as seals.

[@outoftime7740]

@@heehee3937 That's not true with the bull sharks. If they attack you, the person saving you will be fighting off the shark. They don't care that we arent on their menu. Bull sharks have the highest testosterone then any other animal. And they are completely fearless. People get attacked by bullsharks right on the shore, in 3 feet of water. Thats why these victims happen to survive an attack. Also, the tiger shark as well, could possibly finish you off if you don't get out the water quickly. Only the great whites have enough sense to know people aren't what they want. It's always a miss in identity with those sharks usually.

[@outoftime7740]

@@heehee3937 And its a seal that these great whites want and accidently attack surfers thinking their seals. Not turtles.

[@heehee3937]

Out Of Time i was referring to great white sharks, and actually tiger sharks and great whites are both known for eating sea turtles. although yes, seals are their most common meal, they still do eat turtles as well.

[@outoftime7740]

@@heehee3937 Ya tiger sharks do, but not great whites. Tiger sharks will eat anything. They dont call the tiger sharks, the garbage cans of the oceans for nothing.

Let’s do actual statistics though..🙄 If it’s 1/ 12,000,000...is that people going in the water? Or including people who are on the planet, not setting foot in the water. There are far less people who go in the oceans...than people who don’t ever set foot in the ocean. Can’t include numbers of people, when their non-participation is statistically of no value.

[@hnchbo]

EXACTLY

[@Kriistall7]

Yes!!

[@emlaur3000]

When I was in elementary school I remember a teacher telling us that there was much more of a chance of a vending machine falling on top of you than getting bitten by a shark. It’s always bothered me so much lol because like does that mean me specifically as someone who lives in the desert and no where near the ocean? What about a surfer? Are they still more likely to be crushed by a vending machine?? It really makes no sense.

[@roxyfoxyyy7]

Stratosphérique Wisdom very good point!!

[@jaylyn7285]

Excellent point. How bout they clarify that for us coz I never set foot in the ocean and discourage all my relatives from doing the same. I know someone's gonna say it's a dumb attitude but there is also such a thing as tempting fate!

declan walsh I met Tiffany and God used that shark attack, and taking her arm so that she could spread God’s Word. God did not take her arm but he had a purpose for it. Tiffany even said I wouldn’t change loosing an arm at all because God has opened doors for her. Don’t be mad at me I’m not saying you have to be a Christian, everyone has their beliefs and I will be kind and love everyone no matter what they believe, but I hope that you will have a great day and God loves you.

[@theresaakins2317]

You don't feel pain because your body doesn't realize what happened so pain doesn't register in the brain and the attack is too quick for the brain to react to any pain or to send pain signals.
