Tourist loses both hands trying to take photo with shark in Turks and Caicos

A Canadian tourist lost both her hands when she tried to take a picture with a 6-foot shark while swimming in Turks and Caicos and it bit her.
The 55-year-old woman was snorkeling off Providenciales, the main island in the archipelago, Feb. 7 when she tried to “engage with the animal from the shallows in an attempt to take photographs,” the Turks and Caicos Department of Environment and Coastal Resources said in a statement.
3The 55-year-old woman had to have both her hands amputated after the shark attack.

The woman was a few yards offshore when the beast clamped its jaws on her arms, officials told The Daily Telegraph.

The tourist’s horrified husband jumped in the water to try to scare the shark away.

The Turks and Caicos beach was shut down afterward but reopened Feb. 9.
There were a total of 88 shark attacks around the world last year — 24 of which were provoked by humans, according to the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File, which tracks such data.

The ocean is not our playground. I don't go in any water in a place known to have sharks. As for filming them, I leave that up to professionals.

Do we really want to annex Canada? It might be more trouble than it’s worth.

Sorry I missed her great old age....well I guess they're 100 year old men who would be interested somewhere.
