Shark Bites Man In Miami In Unprecedented
Attack (Video)
July 18. 2017
If you've read
my Twitter page
for any time you will know that I have written about sharks
on different occasions. For years I have expressed my
concern sharks would come to the shore in Miami, Florida and
bite someone. A few short years ago, sharks were spotted a
few miles off Miami's shores, but not considered a danger.
However, what I previously expressed concern about online
has happened, as a shark came right up to the shore in Miami
a few days ago and bit someone on both legs, in what is an
unprecedented attack. The swimmer was seriously wounded and
taken to the hospital on July 9, 2017. The shark sighting
and the aftermath of the attack was caught on video.
I have seen many documentaries on sharks. The
odd thing is the shark that came to the shore in Miami and
bit the swimmer, was a bull shark and they are usually found
in the waters of South America. Miami is a far way from
South America. It is my theory global temperatures are
bringing sharks closer to the shore. The world is out of
whack and it is causing unnatural and unorthodox incidents
regarding the environment, wild life and weather events.
Another serious issue regarding Miami and a
number of other cities is costal building. Too many
buildings have been erected far too close to the shores. The
water is going to rise and come in. Rising waters and other
whether phenomenon will prove very problematic for residents
of buildings built too close to the water.
Builders need to bear this in mind when
erecting new structures. While the views are breathtaking
and you can charge more money in property prices for said
vistas, stop building so close to the shore. There are some
towers that you can look over the balcony and the sand is
right there. It's the same story in Malibu, California. Some
homes are literally built on the sand.

Shark attack sends swimmer to the
hospital
July 09, 2017 6:56 PM - A swimmer who was bitten by a bull shark
at Haulover Beach was rushed to the hospital Sunday afternoon, officials say.
The man was attacked after lifeguards told beachgoers to get out of the water.
“In the process of exiting the water, a beachgoer was bitten in the lower
extremities by what appeared to be a four- to five-foot bull shark,” said Erika
Benitez, spokeswoman for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. “The person was able to get out
of the water, and MDFR Ocean Rescue lifeguards immediately rendered assistance.”
Fire Lt. Matt Sparling said, “In my 20 years as a lifeguard,
this is the first time a person has been bitten here at Haulover Beach, and
possibly the first for Miami-Dade County.” The swimmer, who was alert and
conscious, was transported to Aventura Hospital with injuries to his lower
limbs, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
