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.

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest, but he couldn't have done it without Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Born in the Himalayas, Tenzing Norgay grew up revering the "mighty mountain" of Everest and the "goddess of the summit." Though his father gave him a name that means "wealthy fortunate follower of religion" in hopes that he would become a monk, Norgay dreamt of being a mountaineer. He ran away from home multiple times to hike among the peaks, and eventually joined his first official mountaineering expedition at age 20 in 1935. By the time he was 40 years old, he had spent more time on the face of Mount Everest than any other person alive. ⁠ ⁠ So, when a British expedition was looking for local guides in an attempt to reach the summit, they turned to Norgay. And on May 29, 1953, Norgay and New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary became the first peopl...

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...

Annie Lee Cooper, The Black Activist John Lewis Revered As ‘Absolutely Fearless’

Annie Lee Cooper, The Black Activist John Lewis Revered As ‘Absolutely Fearless’ From marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma to socking a racist cop for trying to keep her from the polls, Annie Lee Cooper fought for the rights of Black Americans with ferocity. In January 1965, an Alabama woman named Annie Lee Cooper lined up at her county courthouse to vote. This was not her first attempt, as she had been turned away from the polls just two years earlier. And after failing the impossible literacy tests made to keep Black people from the ballot box, Cooper decided that this time would be different. ⁠ ⁠ When a notoriously racist cop named Jim Clark began to demand that she abandon her spot in line, Cooper did her best to ignore him. But when he poked her in the neck with his billy club, Cooper took action — and punched him square in the face. The stunt nearly cost her her life and she was almost charged with attempted murder, but today her scuffle is remembered as courageous. As n...

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’

The Twisted Saga Of Michael Peterson, Kathleen Peterson, And The Real Story Behind ‘The Staircase’ In 2003, Michael Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Kathleen by beating her with a fire poker and throwing her down their back staircase — despite the police never finding the murder weapon nor any evidence of a concrete motive. But investigators soon learned that the Petersons were deep in debt and that Michael was unhappy with the way his work as a writer had stalled while his wife's career as a business executive had soared. And when prosecutors learned that Michael had exchanged emails with a male sex worker, they argued that Kathleen must have discovered the messages and confronted him about it, causing him to fly into a fit of rage, beat her about the back of the head, and leave her to die at the bottom of the stairs. But six years after Michael's conviction, a shocking new analysis showed that Kathleen Peterson had traces of feathers, wood, and cedar needle...

The gruesome story of Robert Pickton, the "Pig Farmer Killer":

the gruesome story of Robert Pickton, the "Pig Farmer Killer": In February 2002, Canadian police raided the property of pig farmer Robert Pickton in search of illegal firearms — and stumbled upon something more horrifying than they could have ever imagined. Scattered across the property were the remains of at least 33 people, most of them sex workers or Indigenous women, and many of them were found inside his pigpens. Investigators soon learned that not only had Pickton murdered dozens of women, but that he'd taken their bodies to a meat rendering plant or ground them up himself and fed them to the pigs. Soon, officials issued an alert that the meat products Pickton sold to the public may have contained the ground-up remains of his human victims.
