Teenage Shark Attack
On July 9th 2006 Orlando Sentinel, Brevard County, FL, a teenage boy was bitten by a shark. The boy was swimming near a beach at the Canaveral National Seashore.

The boy, who was not identified, was taken by helicopter to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children after authorities determined the bite was severe.

It appeared the shark took the boy's leg into its mouth, bit and scraped down the leg and released, Dominguez said. The bite happened about 1 p.m. at Playalinda Beach, near Titusville, when the boy was swimming with his mother. His mother told authorities she saw him go under the water to his neck and then he screamed.

He was taken to Parrish Medical Centre in Titusville by ambulance and later transported to Orlando in stable condition.
