This morning, Australian media is reporting another shark attack. It seems
that Brian Williams was diving with a small group about two miles off Perth. Apparently, Williams was separated from
the other divers in his group, when he was attacked from behind by what is believed to be a 10-foot-long
white pointer, (otherwise known as a Great
White). Evidently, Williams survived the attack by “hitting it with a spear gun,” although
other
reports are suggesting that a
shark shield worn by a fellow diver may
have frightened away the animal. Fortunately, Williams’ injuries – a bite to the left elbow – are not
life-threatening.
