17-Year-Old Attacked By Shark After Sharks Were Spotted Near The Shore Days Before



17-year-old Addison Bethea was hunting for scallops on the Keaton Beach shore in Florida when a shark grabbed onto her leg and thrashed her around. Her firefighter brother tourniquet her leg which aided in saving her life. A shark had been spotted four days prior in the same spot. This incident comes after an attack in the Florida Keys on Wednesday and another in California eight days ago. Though statistically, shark attacks are less probable than being killed by a firework, concerns arise as climate change warms waters bringing sharks closer to shores.

  1. 14 years out here in the desert of AZ but I really do miss my beloved NJ shore at Peahala Park on LBI! I’m so in love with the Atlantic Ocean!

  2. Just arm the swimmers.

  3. Didn't the ' mayor of shark city ' quote statistics in "Jaws "

  4. actually 95% of shark attacks happen only by shore…
    Bill Burr: No Sh*t! thats where all the people are at!

  5. Wow
    Prayers for the young lady. Be safe

    Happy 4th of July

  6. Facts: attack the sharks eyes and noes. The ampullae of Lorenzi is extremely sensitive. If you touch their noes, it will completely mess them up, like a taxer

  7. Gonna go out on a Limb and Assume She will now become a Shark Advocate and Talk about How These Sharks need to be Protected…Typical phony crap from Victims after a Shark Attack…They just want the attention

  8. I am Aryan from Germany………….

  9. I rather die from fire works than a shark attack.

  10. Always best to go for scallops when the tide is out.
    The dark murky waters of FL’s big bend (Keaton Beach, Fish Creek, Steinhatchee) is bull shark central.
    Everyone should be aware that sharks are everywhere in the waters of the Florida coast.

  11. Killed by a firework while using fireworks? Or killed by a stray bottle rocket from a neighbors house.

  12. Can't figure out why sharks are moving. It can't have anything to do with climate change because GOPers don't believe it exists and everyone in the world with brains are wrong.

  13. There are always sharks in the water. I'm in the ocean for hours every week & the only time I even think about sharks are when rude shore fishermen start casting right next to the surfers and swimmers. I'm highly interested in a regulation that says no casting/fishing if swimmers/surfers/beach goers are within 100 yards.

  14. I still don't understand why so many people risk going in the ocean. Call me a coward but I just can't imagine putting myself in that situation.

  15. Let me understand this: the shark in your thumbnail attacked this young girl and she survived? Right before the 4th holiday? Next you'll be telling us Trump works for Putin right before an election.

  16. Oh well, that does it for me no ocean swimming. And I no longer trust the science because climate change has a direct impact on ocean life, which seems to be ignored!

  17. News Flash – Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secrete Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!

    Trump vandalized the White House and destroyed White House property in fit of rage.

    FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone

    Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.

    Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!

    Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.

    Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! Trial date 11/17/2022

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
    Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
    Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
    .

    We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
    .

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!
    .

    Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

    Proverbs 10:9, NI
    ….,,

  18. Surely this all part a big conspiracy against trump,including Jewish space lasers,voting machines,a random letter from the alphabet,and people making trump and tucker praise Putin just to make trump look bad and stuff…🤷‍♂️

  19. Sharks don't call it July 4th, they call it a buffet.

  20. if there is one thing I am certain of, it is that for as long as I live I will never voluntarily swim in the ocean

  21. Why would people swim in waters where sharks were seen?

  22. wouldn't sharks seek colder water not warmer ?

  23. “Climate change”. Yeah right. Sharks come to shallow water near shores looking for prey since there has been sharks.

  24. Lollll, statistically there are much more human playing fireworks like idiots compared to intimate encounters with sharks
