Panic City

OK, I borrowed some more material from barstool.com, who borrowed it from Daily Mail (so I don't know if this is at all true or not). Anyway, an 8 ft. wide, 300 lb sting ray jumped out of the water and landed on a woman who was on a sightseeing boat off the Florida Keys. Apparently these eagle rays jump out of the water to try to shake off parasitic fish that cling to them, and they can get 20' above the surface, but I guess they always jump twice. Jenny Hausch caught a big one on the second jump; it knocked her clear to the deck and pinned her down. The fish (I assume it's a fish) was flailing around on top of her while trying to get back into the water, two crewmen had to lift the thing off.



That is the definition of a panic attack. Imagine if that happened to you? You go down to the Keys and charter a boat to check out the marine life and get some sun, and then you get a 300 lb. sting ray in your lap.


You can't help but think of what happened to Steve Irwin in this situation. That barb in the above picture is deadly. Ms. Hausch is lucky to be alive.
