Shark Attacks Surfer in Monterey Bay

the damage…
Todd Endris – an aquarium designer – was attacked by a shark at about 10:30 a.m Tuesday morning. He was sitting on his board between waves when the 12-foot-long shark came up and bit him and his surfboard, dragging him beneath the surface.

When Endris surfaced there was blood “gushing” from gashes in his back. Joe Jansen pulled the 24-year-old surfer back onto Endris’ board and towed him toward the shore.

Endris’ attack was the 10th recorded attack on a human being in Monterey County waters since 1952. Two of those attacks were fatal.

He suffered bite wounds to his torso and right thigh and underwent surgery at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. He was in fair condition at the hospital, where his parents held vigil for him that evening.

Since the attack, beachgoers on the southern side of Monterey Bay have been warned to stay out of the water (duh) and Marina State Beach will remain closed until state park officials determine otherwise.

    okay, let’s break this down.

    Yesterday’s story was about a Great White shark who, if deemed a good candidate, would be put on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

    Today’s story takes us to Monterey Bay where Todd Endris, aquarium designer (at Monterey Bay Aquarium?) is actually bitten by a shark.

    There’s a conspiracy going on here somewhere, I just haven’t figured it out yet.

    Endris isn’t affiliate w/ MBA at all. It’s unfortunate timing, not “a conspiracy.” Yeesh.

    Maybe Todd isn’t affiliated with MBA, but is the shark?
