    Not everyone can have a shark attack. C.J. Wickersham of 21 years can be considered lucky, despite having to undergo two surgeries and needed 800 stitches, keep your left leg and his life.


    A group of six friends enjoyed their Sunday in a small boat fishing sport. They had dived and fish during the day and almost ready to return to shore when the incident occurred on 24 September and that almost cost him his life Wickersham, quoted in 'The HuffingtonPost''.


    The young man stood by the boat when he felt a tug at the height of his thigh that submerged under water.


    The bite was so bad that he moved the hip bone of his place and left it bare, he told the West Battalion Chief Manati, Dennis Dotson, who organized their evacuation.


    His friends reacted at full speed and got out of the water, while others warned the emergency services. Medical personnel were on the ground and stabilized, while waiting for the helicopter that took him to a nearby hospital.

  • He's lucky it didn't get the femoral artery or he would have been done. The report said it was a 9' Bull off of Anna Maria Island in the Gulf.

    Thats the first thing I thought too. Knowing how that artery works and where it is he is one lucky dog.


    Im suprised that he was attacked without fish it seems, just wading in the water. Guess the bull thought he looked docile and tasty.
