Great White Shark Attack!

Last week 66 year old triathlete David Martin was attacked and killed by a great white shark off the coast of California. The shark attacked with such speed that it actually lifted Mr. Martin out of the water with his legs enclosed in the shark's mouth. The attack occurred off Solana Beach California, where Mr. Martin had been swimming 150 yards from shore. It was about 7a.m. about the time when predators such as the great white are feeding. The last time a swimmer was killed by a shark in San Diego waters was in 1994. That victim was a 25 year old woman Michelle Von Emster, who was swimming alone and at night off Ocean Beach on April 14 . From what I understand night time or near dusk is when sharks and other predators begin to feed. You see this is why I'll never swim in the ocean again. You have to understand that when you go out into the ocean you're no longer on top of the food chain. I was down at South Beach Miami Florida two years ago, and just weeks before I got there several swimmers had been seriously injured. Something is bringing these predators closer to shore. Whether it's lack of food or beachside restaurants dumping in the ocean your guess is as good as mine, but for the foreseeable future I won't be swimming in the ocean and if you value your lives neither will any of you.
