Bull Shark - When Bull Sharks attack
Bull Shark - When Bull Sharks attack
One day, while free diving with a friend,
the largest Bull shark I have ever seen swam
under us. The problem was that we were a half-mile
from the beach and Bull sharks are the most
aggressive type of shark in the world. Luckily,
for us, he wasn't hungry at the time and slowly
swam away after a few tense moments of observation.
The Bull, Tiger, and Great White are considered
the top three sharks most likely to attack
humans. Growing up to 11.5 feet in length
and weighing up to 500 pounds coupled with
the Bull shark's very aggressive behavior
means it can be extremely dangerous if a person
happens to unknowingly enter into its territory
or cross its path.
Although sharks are commonly known to hunt
individually, I have two friends who have
been SCUBA diving and seen three Bull sharks
hunting as a pack in both instances (in Galveston,
Texas and Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands).
When the first two sharks passed my friend,
diving off of Jost Van Dyke, the third one,
bringing up the rear of their formation, took
a bite at one of his fins. Luckily, the shark
continued after its companions who were chasing
a large school of fish.
The Bull shark is unique in that it is commonly
seen throughout the world swimming in fresh
water. Sightings and attacks have occurred
in the most improbable locations such as Lake
Nicaragua, 2,200 miles up the Amazon River
in Peru, near St. Louis in the Mississippi
River, and in Lake Michigan off the coast
of Chicago. After Hurricane Katrina hit New
Orleans in 2005, there were numerous sightings
of Bull sharks in Lake Ponchartrain. If a
river or inland body of water connects with
the open ocean, there is always a possibility
that Bulls could investigate and appear where
it is least expected.

Inside Brussels airport lounge immediately after the bombing
Dust and debris, screams of panic, people
holding on to each other in confusion
This is the immediate aftermath after a
double bomb attack in the departure
lounge of Brussels airport.
Buggies, suitcases and luggage trolleys
lay abandoned. Fixtures hang from what's
left of the ceiling
much of which is on the floor. In amongst
it, groups of people help each other
From outside, the destruction is clear. The
windows are shattered. A witness said he
heard shouts in Arabic shortly before
the two blasts struck. The federal
prosecutors said, one of the blast was
probably a suicide bomber. The Belgian
Health Minister said 11 people were
killed in the airport bombing and a
further 81 are wounded.
