I remember this in our local news years ago.
Scuba diver attacked after touching Shark April 17, 1998
MARATHON, Florida (CNN) - A shark bit a teen in waters off the Florida Keys this week and remained clamped to his chest even as the victim was rushed to a hospital.
Kevin Morrison, 16, Rockford, Illinois, was scuba diving with his father near Marathon in the Florida Keys, when he saw a three-foot nurse shark (called a Raggie in South Africa) swimming near him and grabbed its tail.
The shark bit Morrison's chest so tightly he was rushed to Fisherman's Hospital near Marathon with the creature still attached. Doctors were forced to split the sharks' spine to unlock its jaw. The boy was later treated and released.
The Florida Marine Patrol said nurse sharks swim slowly and can appear to be harmless, but they can be dangerous and should be avoided.
It was clamped on to his nipple. tee hee ....get it? And it's a nurse shark?
Only Maple could come up with that story... ONLY our Maple...
