I have never liked the idea of swimming in water where things bigger than I was that could eat me. Anywhere we go in the world that has warm sea waters, we have sharks, even if we can't see them. Watch the brand new Stan Original Film I Am Woman now.Your web browser is no longer supported. Of course, these attacks can be avoided completely if you stay out of the water because these big fish have never come on land to attack people.All shark attacks are horrible, so how do you decide which ones are worse than others? It immediately reported the scene and a rescue mission was mounted.But it was too late for hundreds of men.
The standard answer to shark attacks in Australia is that they are rare but we have now got to the point where tourism is failing because people no longer go in the water because the attacks have been so large in number.Yes there are now more people swimming but I suspect there are also more sharks.
"About 300 men died aboard after the torpedoes struck. Crucially, a request by the USS Indianapolis' captain for escort vessels against submarine attack was turned down.But the captain of Japanese Imperial Navy submarine I-58 was determined to continue the fight.In the early hours of July 30, 1945, he spotted the US warship and after tracing it fired two torpedoes. Only 316 survived.After the war, Mr Bray received an honourable discharge from the US Navy. It was just assumed that the warship had reached Leyte in the Philippines on its scheduled arrival date of July 31, 1945.These factors meant the survivors had to hold on for rescue for nearly four days.Salvation finally came on the morning of August 2, 1945 when a US Navy plane on a routine patrol flight over the area spotted men in the sea. But, they are relatively rare. Amazing history lesson.
I felt quite ill when researching this hub. I've always been fascinated by sharks. But you never know.Wow. Not even remotely.
I have now changed the photo using the same source as the first one (they changed their photo too)That's not the "Doña Paz" on the picture above, it is the M/V "Al Salam Boccaccio 98". I wont swim in the ocean and I don't care where it is .. some shark will single me out for sure! 483 survivors were plucked from the seas by rescue ships and planes. "I'm just happy to be living long enough to see the 75th anniversary," he said.Victoria's daily infections drop, but death toll spikesTODAY IN HISTORY: Best-selling musician starts solo careerHopes for a survivor more than a month after deadly Beirut blast I had seen some real stories about shark attack and it was really scary.So many have died from plane crashes in the Pacific, especially during the Second World War. Even bodies recovered w "shark bites" were quite likely some other cause of death, with postmortem feeding. Some people seem to thrive on danger, hence the plethora of close-up underwater photos of sharks. Stay safe!Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment :)Nice hub! Forget "Jaws" and the great white sharks. Yet I will happily sit outdoors and watch a thunderstorm, even though that activity is far more dangerous! Those poor people!Scary stories, although very real.
As dawn broke the next day, shoals of sharks appeared and started attacking the sailors. He then moved to Benicia in San Francisco, where he lives today.Mr Bray is among only eight remaining survivors of the wartime disaster who Looking back at the ordeal, he said he is lucky to have made the milestone. Even imagining the scene is nightmare-ish, yet the ones I listed above are only a fraction of the people this has happened to. Sorry - sharks and crocodiles are not my friends. Voted way up!Like the waters round the Philippines? Statistically, you are far more likely to get struck by lightning than you are to become a victim of a shark attack. 695 people died trying to fight off sharks (most likely oceanic whitetips).The Nova Scotia had been ferrying back and forth from Durban up the east coast of Africa to the Suez Canal. :)It's best not to think too much about what can go wrong when we embark on a boat or ship. ?They need to mention about the HMAS Sydney when her whole crew was lost most of which where attacked by sharks in shark bay Australia"Stuffed to the gunnels." On their long journey from Portsmouth, England they had stopped at Simonstown, near Cape Town, to pick up fresh supplies. I have decided to concentrate on incidents where large volumes of people have lost their lives, mainly through being shipwrecked.Can you think of anything worse that treading water, miles from land, while sharks are circling around you.
