Scuba Forum / General / January 2007Diver says he was partly swallowed by shark
http://tinyurl.com/32s3mm By Michael Perry "SYDNEY, Jan 23 (Reuters Life!) - An Australian abalone diver told rescuers he was partly swallowed head-first by a Great White Shark on Tuesday but managed to fight his way free, suffering a broken nose and bite marks around the chest." > http://tinyurl.com/32s3mm > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > managed to fight his way free, suffering a broken nose and bite marks around > the chest."

I have no doubt he got bit, just the journalistic license has changed. > I have no doubt he got bit, just the journalistic license has changed. It looked to me like the big improvement in the story came when they put a TV camera and microphone in front of the victim, most probably with some coaching and encouragement from the journalists. |
