Surfer survives encounter with shark

Surfer survives encounter with shark.





When surfer seth mead was surfing on Oregon's Gold Beach, he reliazed a shark right next to him in the water and so did the person talking the photo. But it was too late. The shark pushed mead out of the water while attacking him and chomping down on his left foot. The animal went away but mead was Injured badly

GOLD BEACH - If he had wrapped his arms around the shark's head, Seth Mead said, he wouldn't have been able to touch his fingers together.

That's how big it was. But Mead never got a glimpse of the rest of the great white shark. He felt only its teeth, tearing into the flesh of his ankle and foot. The shark charged the 26-year-old surfer Monday morning as he sat on his board just south of the Gold Beach south jetty, waiting for his next wave. The force lifted Mead and his surfboard completely out of the water.

The attack was the first since 2002 on the Oregon Coast and only the fifth documented on the Pacific Coast this year.

"He's really lucky," said Laura Stansell, a Gold Beach surfer and friend of Mead's. "The doctor said 15 days and he'll be able to surf again. He just needs to get a new board now."

Never mind his injuries.

"He says it's just a scratch," said Mead's grandmother, Joyce Ternyik of Florence, who received telephone calls from "The Today Show" and media outlets across the country requesting interviews.

"His father says it looks like a power saw accident," she said. "The gal doing the stitching said she has just gotten through doing a Rottweiler bite, and the shark's cuts were so much cleaner."

Mead was resting Tuesday in Gold Beach with stitches closing wounds in his right ankle and foot. Reached by telephone, he said he felt OK but groggy and tired, and declined to talk further.

The day before broke just before 7 a.m. with an idyllic Oregon Coast sunrise and prime surfing conditions at the mouth of the Rogue River. Because the south jetty's rock structure protects waves from the wind and provides a break point, it's a popular spot for local surfers.

But because salmon are spawning in the Rogue River, it's also a popular spot for great white sharks.

Mead, a Florence native who lives in Gold Beach, had gotten into the water with his roommate, Gus Gates, who knows him from Siuslaw High School and Oregon State University, where the two studied fish biology. The two know a lot about sharks, Gates said, and it was easy to tell that this one was a great white.

"It was a classic September sunrise morning," Gates said. "You couldn't ask for better conditions. You and your best friend, head-high surf, light offshore winds. It doesn't get much better than that - minus the shark."

Gates had to leave for work after catching a few waves, which left Mead in the water by himself - something surfers usually try to avoid. He was sitting on his board, waiting for the next set to break when the shark knocked him - board and all - into the air, biting his foot, ankle and board in the same instant.

"He said the board was balancing on the shark's head," Gates said.

Mead screamed at the shark. But before he could utter a coherent phrase, the animal quickly released its grasp and let Mead go, his neoprene boot spurting blood into the chilly water. Seconds later, the next set of waves came and Mead caught one, lying on his stomach on the board - the quickest way he could get to the beach.

He paddled to the beach and was worried that he might not have a foot, he later told his grandmother, so he stood up on it to make sure. Then he drove to the parking lot, where he spotted a Gold Beach police officer who administered first aid and called an ambulance.

Emergency workers at Curry County Hospital stitched up his foot and ankle and released him - with a healthy dose of pain medication.

"There were two gashes on his foot and three on his lower leg, below the knee," said friend Brandon Middleton, who watched him get stitched up. "He seemed to be in pretty good spirits."

This wasn't Mead's first encounter with a shark. In 2001, his friend Tres Tucker wrote to the California-based Shark Research Committee about spotting a white shark at Florence's South Jetty while the two were in the water.

"As I sat upright, my foot planted solidly on something one to two feet below me. It was solid, but slowly sunk under my weight," Tucker wrote.

He had stepped on a shark. He thought to warn Mead, but by the time he spotted his friend, "the look on his face made me turn around to see a very large fin, at least 14 to 16 inches high, passing behind my feet."

That shark didn't attack, however, so the two paddled for safety. "I used to prefer to surf alone," Tucker wrote. "But now I know ... maybe I've never been alone."

Mead's was the third attack on record at Gold Beach, said Ralph Collier, president of the Shark Research Committee.

"More than 60 percent of all shark attacks occur at the location of a previous shark attack," he said.

Shark attacks are scary, Stansell admitted - but they probably won't keep surfers out of the water.

"He'll surf again, I'm sure. It's probably not a good idea to surf alone at a jetty with a lot of fish life around it. But it's hard because there's not too many surfers around here," she said. "My dad gets really mad if I surf alone."

Seth's father Bill Mead said he knew that a shark attack was always a possibility.

Inside the Repulsive World of 'Hurtcore', the Worst Crimes Imaginable

Inside the Repulsive World of 'Hurtcore', the Worst Crimes Imaginable The 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson named his penis "Jumbo" and he often displayed Jumbo to fellow congressmen and reporters. He pulled it out so often that he pretty much reduced much of his presidency to a literal dick-measuring contest The 36th President of the United States was a big man. At 6-foot-4, he was physically imposing — he would also stand far too close to people, which only served to amplify his size. His personality was big, too, as he was known for cursing like a sailor, telling dirty jokes and openly talking about — and even sharing — his bodily functions with anyone close by. He was certainly big on accomplishment as well, having served as the Senate Majority Leader before becoming JFK’s Vice President and eventual successor. As a president, Johnson had a historically big record — both good and bad — with the most significant civil rights record since Ab...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

Inside The Puzzling Death Of Alexander The Great And The Disturbing Theories Behind It

Inside The Puzzling Death Of Alexander The Great And The Disturbing Theories Behind It After spending several hours drinking with friends in 323 B.C.E., 32-year-old Alexander the Great suddenly came down with a fever and began complaining of sharp pain in his back. Though he continued to drink wine, he struggled to quench his thirst — and before long, he could not move or speak. In a matter of days, the legendary Macedonian king was dead, much to the dismay of his loyal subjects. And millennia later, we still don't know exactly what caused Alexander the Great's demise. In the years since then, historians have suggested everything from typhoid to alcohol poisoning to assassination. But one new theory may be the most convincing yet — and the most disturbing. Click the link in our profile to read more.⁠ In 323 B.C.E., Alexander the Great died of an unknown illness — and his body showed no signs of decomposition for six days.

How To Ask For A Date

Asking someone out on a date can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or uncertain on how to approach asking someone out, don't worry, you're not alone. The stress of asking someone out combined with fear of rejection prevent many people from taking the first step in a romantic relationship. In America, 64% of people are single. Luckily, there are a couple of simple strategies and techniques that you can use to get a date with someone and overcome the fears that you may have. 1. Make eye contact and smile. Eye contact and smiling are two universal acts of flirting. Looking at someone from across a room lets them know that you notice them. When you smile, you're showing them that you are open to talking to them and that you may be interested in them, or that you like how they look. Don't force a smile or stare at them, however! -You can meet a potential date at school, work, a grocery store, a bar, or in other social situatio...

10 Countries That Preferred Male Child to female Child

List Of Countries That Preferred Male Child to female Child In many cultures, male offspring are desired in order to inherit property, carry on the family name and to provide support for parents in old age. There is a preference of parents to have a son over a daughter in many countries. This can be observed through sex ratios of children in various countries. Although biologically the sex ratio of children is around 95 girls to every 100 boys, this number generally evens out due to the higher infant mortality rate of boy infants. Scholars argue that the expected birth sex ratio in a normal population is in the range of 103 to 107 males to females at birth Below are the countries that preferre male Child to a female Child 1. India In a country like India, generally parents do not want a girl child and got to the extent of killing them in womb or after birth.  Parents prefer to have a kid that is less problematic as it grows, gives them better returns ...

Serial Killer H.H. Holmes’ Body Exhumed: What We Know

Serial Killer H.H. Holmes’ Body Exhumed: What We Know H.H. Holmes asked to be buried 10 feet under and encased in concrete, because he did not want grave robbers to dissect his body. Despite being somewhat odd, the request was granted in the end. The remains resting in H.H. Holmes’s coffin are being removed from his grave, and a team of researchers are hoping to find out they indeed belong to America’s first serial killer. Last week, Philadelphia-based analysts started exhuming the body of what they presume to be Holmes, buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. He was supposedly executed by hanging just nine days before his 35th birthday, on May 7th, 1896, but rumors have persisted since his death that he actually escaped. Now, his descendants want to put a stop to this story once and for all. Herman Webster Mudgett, a charismatic and handsome doctor from New Hampshire who changed his name to H.H. Holmes as an homage to Sherlock, had already abandoned his first wife and child in the Northeast wh...

Mixed School Vs Single-Sex School -    Mixed School Vs Single-Sex School -    Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-education, or coeducation (abbreviated to co-ed or coed), is a system of education where males and females are educated together.  Whereas Single-sex education, also known as single-gender education and gender-isolated education, is the practice of conducting education with male and female students attending separate classes, perhaps in separate buildings or schools.  The practice of single-sex schooling was common before the 20th century, particularly in secondary and higher education.
