i'm at work and hear helicopters all over the place and check the news only to hear about someone being eaten by a shark. well, not eaten, but bitten and he bled to death. solana beach is right down from the beaches we frequent. the man that died, a local retired vet is the dad of my kid's friend.
speculation based on the size of the bite says the great white shark is about 17-20 feet big. we are having a heat wave this weekend. i'm curious enough to hit the beach.
but as far as the water is concerned, maybe just the ankles will see the water!! totally freaky. and very, very sad.

I know, that is scary! The reports say that he came up from out of nowhere.
I didn't realize that it happened here in California at first; and you are really close to it!
With the hot Santa Ana's blowing, this would normally be a big beach weekend, but, I wonder how beach attendance will be? Or maybe I should ask, how many people will actually go into the water?

Where do you live, carmen? If I may ask?

I saw this on the news. They said it happened just after sunrise. Well I believe that sunrise & sunset are known as times that sharks are hunting to feed. The problem is they really don't like himans (we are too salty for them) usually its just a bite & they spit us out. Unfortuantely one bit of a shark that big is normally enough for a human to bleed out. We had a similar thing happen in northern NSW a couple of weeks back. There was a teachers strike on so a couple of 15 year old boys decided to go surfing - one got bit, his mate managed to srag him back to shore but it was too late.
Having said that I have a deathly fear / healty respect for sharks & you won;t see me in the ocean past my calves...nics
