Another Shark Attack in Australia!
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
An Australian woman suffered massive blood loss and was airlifted to hospital Saturday after being savaged by a shark off an island on the Great Barrier Reef.
The 60-year-old was dragged underwater by the shark near Dent Island on the popular Whitsundays around lunchtime.
The woman lost several litres of blood from deep leg wounds and severe lacerations to her buttocks.
She was taken by dive boat to nearby Hamilton Island for an emergency blood transfusion before being airlifted to the Australian mainland for treatment.
This is the second shark attack in Australia in a week… a man was bitten while surfing with his young son by a wobbegong shark on Thursday. He was left with a tooth fragment in a leg.
