Bondi Beach swimmer bitten by shark: 'I survived by punching it on the nose'

I hear a thumb to a shark's eye is better, but then again, not swimming at night is probably a much more effective defense.

It's almost summer south of the equator and subsequently Australian swimmers are summarily entering the food chain with every open water swim. To be fair the North America continent has the most shark attacks than any other location on this blue planet but Australia places high on the charts as well! [Link]

With those statistics in mind, Scott Wright, decided to do a night swim at Bondi Beach. Though the odds were on his side; 11.5-million to one and 70-years since a shark attack at Bondi, someone has to win the lotto. Gory pictures; (plural), and details in the London Daily Mail [Link]
