- asgardshill, on 12/30/2008, -0/+9The Aussies have such cool and colorful nicknames for their animals; "salties" and "freshies" (for saltwater and freshwater crocodiles respectively), "bities" (for biting insects), "chook" (for chickens), etc. But the best they can come up for a creature the size of a frickin' Buick that could EAT YOU like a hors d'œuvre at a party is "Great Whoite"?
Work on it, cobbers. - inactive, on 12/30/2008, -0/+8Crikey! It's a shaaaaaaaaaaak. A Groit Woit SHAAAAAAAAAAAAK.
- leland1, on 12/30/2008, -0/+7Don't freak out! Stay still & don't splash around. Get in the _big_ boat and stay there...

- GMofOLC, on 12/30/2008, -0/+5What's with the random picture of a guy with a fish at 2:15?
- csw3190, on 12/30/2008, -2/+7***** that.
- DrDolotts, on 12/30/2008, -0/+5He's the poor guy who was killed on the other side of Australia on the same day by a Great white :(
- BradBrown, on 12/30/2008, -0/+5"Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn't see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin' by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away.
Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces.
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol' fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb." - inactive, on 12/30/2008, -0/+4Sharks are ***** awesome. Admit it.
- doublefelix, on 12/30/2008, -0/+4"One of the group was even knocked into the water by the shark, and was forced to tread water while the man-eating creature circled him for a minute." Jesus. Why couldn't they have got that on video?
- uhohzombies, on 12/30/2008, -1/+5"Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water. Our shark."
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -0/+3The other shark attack in WA the other day was close to my home. Helicopters and rescue boats and everything else. The guy, who's father was killed in the attack, said he wished no harm against the shark as it was doing what it does naturally.
- mikethesecond, on 12/30/2008, -0/+3boxing day = we all get drunk and fight eachother. or the sharks, depends on how your feeling.
- glhf, on 12/30/2008, -1/+4I should be ready to shoot sharks everywhere i go?
- proliance, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2We're going to need a bigger boat.
No, really. We're in a freakin' kayak. - Skitals, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2I'm hesitant to take my kayaks in the ocean again after watching that. I would have ***** my pants.
- Rocketbird, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2Tough economic times...where's a shark to eat nowadays?
- spookyttws, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2How sad so many beaches were closed on Boxing Day. (I'm in California and, although I've heard of it, or rather it's been noted on my calendar as "Dec 26 Boxing Day (Canada)", I have no idea what it's about.)
- cschoeps, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2Live every week like it's shark week
- MothBoy, on 12/30/2008, -6/+8You would think the Aussies would be smart enough to carry some shark repellent bat spray.
It worked for Batman in the first (and best) movie of the series.

- Vzylexy, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2More like Shamwow
- Chirp08, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2You see him getting out of the water, but at no point do they show him falling in or treading
- je12u, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1I don't think jizz means what you think it does....
- amzran, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1FTA: "The incident took place in Sydney, Australia, on the same day that Brian Guest, of Perth, was killed by a shark on the other side of the country."
It's clearly a coordinated attack. We should nuke those damn sharks. - admcptch, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1Dugg for huge shark and also for guy saying, "I'm not really shaken up at all. At the time I was, but now I'm just having a few beers."
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1***** sharks.
- snafflepaffle, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1see comment below yours...
- asgardshill, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1So would any Cockney ;)
- RajAtWork, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1mm, because it did not happen perhaps?
- babar77, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1I'm only a dolphin ma'am.
- pygmy, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1in the mouth.
- kafka47, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1I was at Bondi when it closed for 30 minutes due to shark sighting on the 28th!
- uptwolait, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1You got fins to the left...
- Mockylock, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1Why didn't they just catch it with their fishing poles? Pshh.
- angryredplanet, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1On their kayaks they would've been petrified - white pointers are big, scary and unpredictable.
What amazes me is that they grow bigger. I was living in Geraldton when Geoff Brazier was attacked and taken: http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Shark-hunt-cal ...
At the Abrolhos islands, I spoke to a pro fisherman who had seen a white pointer over 7m long and as wide as a car. That is f**king whale huge.
They are awesome animals but ones I'd like to observe from a very large boat! - pantsperch, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1Candygram
- Danteling, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1Amazing video footage. Obviously the camera guy was standing up high in his kayak to video the shark. Surprised he wasn't worried about getting tipped into the water. Just not buying that these guys weren't "shaken up."
- Myztry, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day
So, it's a Commonwealth of Nations holiday. - FiestyPumpkin, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1Brian Guest who was eaten by a bigger shark that same day.
