Shark Attack
Yesterday, my mom asked me if I'd like to go to Hawaii for spring break. The usual thoughts that come to mind when I think of Hawaii are the white beaches, the beautiful water, and the huge rainforests. But then I heard about a man that was attacked by a bull shark. The shark bit off his index finger and took a big chunk out of his thigh. One of the witnesses says, "It's always surprising to have a shark attack because there is such a low risk generally of shark attacks, but it's not uncommon in that area for shark activity." I know that the chances of a shark attack are low, but are the white beaches, beautiful ocean, and rainforests are worth being attacked by a shark. A lifegaurd states, "If people could swim at patrolled locations it at least gives us an opportunity to get people clear of the water if there is a shark in the vicinity." The safe zones are the only places ill be swimming if I ever take a trip to Hawaii. After reading this article, it really opens my eyes to how danger can lurk in peacful places.
