Shark Attack Injures US Tourist in Turks and Caicos

A 22-year-old woman from Connecticut is in serious condition after a shark bit off one of her legs while she was snorkeling with a friend off the coast of the Turks and Caicos islands. The attack happened in the waters outside the Blue Haven Resort on the island of Providenciales. The total number of shark attacks around the world is "extremely low" when considering how many people swim or do activities in the ocean each year.
