He can not possibly be a real accountant! Sharks don't attack accountants (or agents) out of professional courtesy!Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

I've never understood why, after these events, the shark invariably gets hunted and killed. It's in it's own environment, doing what sharks have been doing for millions of years.Comment

South Africa shark attack: Michael Cohen fights for life after Great White bites off legs | Mail Online
The 43-year-old is said to have swum regularly at Fish Hoek beach, notorious for Great White sightings, even telling fellow beachgoers: ‘If a shark takes me, then blame me, not the shark.’
Witnesses said he parked his car and then walked right past a flag indicating that the beach was closed.
At least two people warned him that a shark had been seen, but he strode into the water anyway.
There's no telling some people.
Maybe he read the same book as I did that mentioned that there's more chance of being killed by a falling coconut than by a shark, citing 150 deaths per year by coconut and 10 by shark.
The odds change a bit when a shark has been sighted and warning flags abound though. No coconut trees on the beach either according to reports. i.e. they don't mention any.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

If he survives then he's been lucky. Lack of legs isn't that debilitating these days, providing he can use those spring things like that athlete competed with recently.
He can also get some flipper attachments for when he's feeling brave enough to go back in the water.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
