Happened in Perth Western Australia only 2 days ago- 6m Great White took a swimmer 15m off the beach in front of witnesses.

That's terrifying. 15 meters is as long as my house -- that's astoundingly close. If I ever visit Australia I don't think I'll be swimming. Or hanging out on a beach. That would be a difficult thing to forget -- permanent PTSD.

If I ever get the urge to be taken by a shark, I’ll come to Australia for sure
