Shark Eats Man

In South Africa, a gigantic shark has eaten a grown man in front of numerous witnesses.  The man was standing about chest deep in the water off beautiful Fish Hoek near Cape Town when a shark the size of a mini-bus grabbed him and ate him.  Seriously.  Here's a witness' Twitter post:

"Holy shit. We just saw a gigantic shark eat what looked like a person in front of our house," witness Gregg Coppen posted on Twitter. "That shark was huge. Like dinosaur huge."

Another interesting passage in the article:

"Skinner was reportedly on holiday in Cape Town for the month to attend the wedding of his partner's daughter. His partner was at the beach with him."

Business partner or domestic partner?

I've been to Fish Hoek.  It's a stunningly beautiful place and it's now mid-summer so I'm sure the beaches are busy.  The ocean's not a swimming pool, people.  It's the wild.  Click here for video that I can't embed.  You can also click here to read a description of Fish Hoek as "one of the safest" beaches for "bathing and bodyboarding."  They might want to update the site.
