The great white shark was preparing to attack Michael Cohen again as Hugh Till and Douglas Drysdale, both local men who were driving home from work, ran into the blood-soaked water at Fish Hoek beach near Cape Town on Wednesday.

Witnesses to the scene believe that the seal may have kept the pair safe as they retrieved Mr Cohen, 42, by swimming around them repeatedly and acting as a distraction to the circling predator.

The dramatic details about the moments after the shark struck came as surgeons revealed that the part-time accountant, a British citizen who settled in Cape Town, lost 70 per cent of his blood volume after arriving at the hospital.

According to the article he'd been warned not to and the beach was closed, so as bad as it sounds I don't have a huge amount of sympathy..? Am I going to hell?


Also...

"As Douglas and I were pulling him in towards the shore, the seal frolicked nearby, and kept swimming past us, it seemed rather agitated," he said.

"It occurred to us afterwards, how unusual it was for a seal to stick around in an area where a shark is, or where there is blood.

"It really did feel to us as though he was offering support to us, or the swimmer, and was prepared to act as a diversion if the shark went after us as well."

Really?..Telegraph?
 
I am a little surprised that line made it in to the Telegraph! The Editor not doing his job properly :p
 
Dunno what you're upset about. If the seal wasn't available for comment, he wasn't available for comment. The only reason they don't ever ask the shark anything is for the same reason they didn't give Anders Behring Breivik a pulpit to air his disgusting views and thoughts either.
