18 Foot Shark Eats Woman
Huge Shark Attacks Elderly South African Woman
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A great white shark estimated to be at least 18 feet long attacked and presumably killed an elderly South African woman Monday off a beach near Cape Town, officials said. Tyna Webb, 77, who lived in the area, was swimming Monday off Sunny Cove in Fish Hoek when the massive shark circled her and then attacked, witnesses and officials said. About 15 people witnessed the attack. "All that was left was a little red bathing cap," said Paul Dennett, who witnessed the attack from his home nearby. Dennett told the South African Press Association that he estimated the shark to be at least 18 feet long. Rescue workers were using boats and aircraft to search for the woman's body. "All efforts to find the lady have been exhausted by a wide and thorough search. We are hoping that police divers will be successful in their efforts," Darren Zimmerman of the National Sea Rescue Institute told the South African Press Association. Crews later spotted the shark. Great whites often are seen in the area feeding off the large seal population. |
