Unusual Shark Attack Doesn’t Deter Swimmers
After a 7 year old girl was bitten by a shark yesterday, swimmers at Coligny Beach were seemingly unconcerned this morning, with the usual numbers of people playing in the water.
Fears of a ‘Jaws’-like situation coming in to the big summer season were laughed off by visitors.
The attack was the first since 2001, when a boy required more than thirty stitches after being bitten. There have only been 52 attacks in South Carolina since records began, and the last deadly attack was way back in 1883.
So, don’t worry, come on in, the water’s fine!
