Has anyone heard what happened to that poor girl who was bitten by a great white? I heard that she was saved by some guy who grabbed the shark by the back fin. She also had to have somewhere between 50 and 200 stitches by the way she looked to be bleeding in the photos. I hope she lived, that would be a terrible way to die.

I saw a news story on ABC Good Morning America. Another diver saved the girls life  while the Great White had her in its mouth. The diver grabbed the sharks tail and it released the victim. This guy has balls! What a hero! There is also a story about two Great Whites violently attacking each other. I will be writing a blog about tese two incidents shortly.
