Alta Red Triangle'da gecen olaylarla ilgili bir yazi asiyorum

THE RED TRIANGLE & CALIFORNIA
Traveling west to the coast of California, we find that one particular stretch of coastline has acquired the ominous sobriquet of 'the Red Triangle'. This triangle stretches some 100 miles or so from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, to Ano Nuevo Island near Santa Cruz with the corner of the triangle being the famous Farallon Islands. Since scientists began accurately tracking shark attacks and the species responsible for them some fifty or so years ago, the Red Triangle has been the world's leading site of GW attacks on humans, a somewhat gruesome distinction.
A highly publicized attack took place near the Red Triangle during the winter of 1981. A week before Christmas, Lewis Boren and his friends were surfing at Spanish Bay, just south of Monterey. After lunch, Boren returned to the water alone where he was attacked while on his 5-foot fiberglass surfboard. His board was found the next morning with a large piece missing in the classic shape of a bite mark. The piece was found later and Boren's body was found floating about a half-mile north of the attack site with a similar bite mark. It seems he was floating out to catch the larger waves offshore, his arms outstretched in front of him, when a large GW attacked, cleanly biting through both him and his board. From the bite radius on the corpse and the board, the size of the attacking GW has been estimated at 18-20 feet.
2004 Saw Fort Braggs Highly publicized GW Fatality. Great white takes diver near Westport August 15th 2004 California Fort Bragg Sheriff's Department and marine officials confirmed Tuesday that abalone diver, Randall "Randy" Fry, whose body was found in the ocean near Westport Monday, had been the victim of a Great White Shark attack.
After seeing the bite mark left on Fry's body, Sheriff's Lt. Don Miller said he had received information that only a great white could inflict that type of damage. According to Miller, the bite mark spanned from one shoulder to another on the victim. In 30 years with the department, he had never seen anything like it, Miller said.
According to Sheriff's Department reports, the Fry and his friend Cliff Zimmerman, of Fort Bragg, had been diving in an area just south of Westport, off Kibesilla Rock in around 15 feet of water Sunday afternoon. Upon surfacing for air, Zimmerman saw what was described as "a big fish" swim between him and Fry. Zimmerman immediately swam to their fishing boat, where another friend was standing by, however Fry disappeared. The two notified the Coast Guard after finding no signs of him. Personnel from the Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue, along with Westport Fire, the Coast Guard and the Department of Forestry immediately began searching the area, but called off the search after dusk.
The following day, Search and Rescue personnel found Fry in about 15 feet of water, but suspecting that sharks might still be in the area, chose not to enter the water to retrieve his body. A USCG boat was called to the scene to pull Fry from the water Monday.
A complete autopsy began Tuesday. Sheriff's Lt. Coroner Kurt Smallcomb said that in their preliminary examination, the bite measured about 18 inches across, causing the separation of head from torso. Smallcomb reported that no teeth fragments were apparent in the preliminary investigation, but the full autopsy is still pending.
A terrifying, tragic encounter Zimmerman described the event in detail by telephone Monday afternoon. At the time of the attack, he and Fry were only a couple feet apart. Saying that they had only stopped for a few seconds on the surface for air, Zimmerman was not looking at Fry when he sensed the first signs of something wrong. "He might have just dove, I was looking down when I heard an instantaneous whooshing sound, and felt the water move, as if a boat went by," Zimmerman said. "I turned to see what it was and saw the side of a big fish." Zimmerman then saw a fin and part of the shark's body as it came to the surface of the water at a high rate of speed and disappeared again. He said that at that point he realized that the worst may have happened. "The way it hit, I was sure it had my friend," he said. Saying that he could see a diving tube in the water several feet away, Zimmerman added, "then everything turned red."
Their boat was anchored about 150 feet away, occupied by Red Bartley, of Modesto. Zimmerman said he could hear Bartley yelling that he could see blood as well, and was pointing to the area where the attack occurred. Zimmerman said that he looked around in a state of panic and began swimming for the boat, fearing that he would also be attacked at any moment. Fortunately, he made it to the boat unhurt. "It's something you never dream would happen," he said, adding that he and Fry were good friends. Each had been diving around 30 years. A second boat arrived in the area, and after communicating with the two, the operator began looking around in the water as well, said Zimmerman. Emergency personnel were contacted and began to arrive shortly afterward.
The West Coast of America, is renowned as the Shark Attack capital of the world for Great Whites. Looking at the stats you can quickly see why! The West Coast has had 96 recorded non fatal attacks and 8 fatalities, last fatality San Diego 4/25/2008.....
