Witnesses rush into ocean to help swimmer attacked by shark near San Diego

[@grimly105]

I pray everyone a speedy recovery.

[@2cats24GOD]

Spent years swimming in the surf of Hatteras. The summer of 2003 was out there with my family. We had gone out to the second sandbar to body surf. I tired after a while and said I was heading in...I was in the trough between the first sandbar and shore when something bumped me hard on my upper left arm...I turned and realized that it was a shark, about five feet long, now belly rolling next to me...the fear was insane...screaming and beating the water I managed to get to shore...was in panic mode for the rest of my family as they came in. We were all safe but honestly it changed me...I haven't been in deep ocean since.

[@71Shark762]

I'm hoping for speedy recovery for all the victims. However, you definitely shouldn't take this and hate sharks. I've swam with many of them and I've never had any close calls. Sharks are predators, and you definitely need to respect them. They aren't out to get humans because if they were, we could never go swimming in the ocean again. People take the ocean for granted and don't even think of any possible dangers or things they should look out for. The fact that we have so many people entering the water in today's age and their aren't even 100 attacks per year just shows sharks aren't interested in humans as food. Things more likely to kill you than a shark: Mosquitoes Dogs Hippos Crocodiles Vending machines Bee stings Falling coconut Even ants! I'm not kidding look it up

Sorry, but at the end of my life, whenever that may be, I damn sure will not leave this world knowing that all I did was smoke bud from the sidelines. I smoke, not much, mainly at night after the day is done, and I am ready for bed. But, I also have snorkeled with reef sharks off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas with my then 12 year old son, my 68 year old mother, husband, and myself. I have snorkeled reefs from Key West, Curacao to Cozumel, had my son snow skiing Araphahoe Basin with a private instructor before he was out of diapers. He now skiis better than I. We have walked across the border into Mexico from Arizona with our son and family to appreciate Mexico without going to the tourist spots. I mean, your chance of being killed is far greater by boarding a plane or getting into a vehicle. Yet, I have flown private planes many times and even experienced extreme turbulence during one memorable flight. I would rather die with a lifetime of memories than ever spend my money on green, stay high, and unmotivated. I've also seen what long-term, heavy weed usage does to a person's brain and cognitive behavior from a lifetime of smoking.
