shark attack!



breaking news this morning, a 66 yr. old man died in a shark attack at Solana Beach here in San Diego. Dave Martin and his triathlon training group swam about 150 yards out to sea this morning at 7am.
Somewhere below, a shark was lurking and an ambush was made and Dave Martin was the prey. From below, the man was lifted vertically by the shark with the man's both legs inside the sharks jaws. 2 men swam 20 yards just to get the ambushed man off the water.
life guards was trying to resuscitate the victim and rushed to the emergency but then pronounced dead at 7:49am.
Now, the beaches are closed for 72hrs. and coast guards, choppers and some beach patrols are now on search for the shark that was pressumed to be 12-17 ft. great white shark and still in the area.
And this is said to be the 1st fatality in San Diego since 1994. Imagine how many years was it till that attack today.
