I just got word from my sister, who is currently northern new jersey hotels vacationing in SanDestin, FL, that a 14-year-old girl just had her leg taken off by a shark and died at the scene. I m trying to find news online about it this should no doubt be a national story. Shark sightings are relatively rare in the panhandle, and shark attacks even rarer, so this is rather unnerving. More info as it develops. If any of you Florida northern new jersey hotels types hear anything, please share it.
Fox News Television has now reported the attack, but nothing is online as of yet. My sister added that the girl was on vacation with another family at the time. Horrible. She also reports that the shark was estimated to be 11-feet long.
We have had a confirmed shark attack. The scene is still under investigation, said Darlene Drury, spokeswoman for South Walton Fire-Rescue. Area beaches were closed to swimmers immediately afterward.
Details of the attack near Camping on the Gulf Holiday Travel Park in Walton County and the victim s name were not immediately released. Coast Guard spokesman Shawn McGivern in Mobile, Ala., said authorities were trying to track down the victim s relatives.
There are just very few species of shark in and around Florida which would attack northern new jersey hotels as large of a target as this girl in the method described and be 11-feet long. I would imagine the description is inaccurate and it was much shorter because taking the leg off of someone takes quite a bit of strength as well as sharp teeth. It shoulds like a bull shark (based upon the area) because of their wide mouths and extremely strong teeth and their prey.
