About three or four years ago I read a story about a guy in Florida who was at the beach with his nephes and his nephes got his arm bitten noff by a shark. The guy went out into the water, killed the shark and got his nephew's arm OUT OF THE SHARK and got it reattached at the hospital.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PENSACOLA, Florida (CNN) -- The uncle of Jessie Arbogast recalled a pool of blood and his nephew's screams in his account of a horrific July 6 shark attack in Pensacola, Florida, in a National Park Service report released Thursday.

Vance Flosenzier's nephew, Arbogast, lost his arm and almost all his blood when a seven-foot shark bit him while he was swimming in shallow waters off Florida's Gulf coast. Surgeons reattached Arbogast's arm, and the 8-year-old is currently in critical but stable condition in a Pensacola hospital.

Flosenzier was with Arbogast, who had just completed second grade in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and other family members for a summer beach outing when the attack occurred.

CNN ACCESS: Ranger describes shark victim's rescue





"I heard someone yell, 'Shark!' and a scream," Flosenzier told the Park Service. He said he turned toward the water and saw a large pool of blood in the vicinity of his nephew and his own two daughters, who were also in the water.

Flosenzier said he then saw the shark's jaws clamped down on Arbogast's arm. The uncle entered the water and grabbed the base of the shark's tail and tried to pull the shark from the boy.

On his second tug, Flosenzier said, the shark pulled free. An unidentified man caught Arbogast as he fell away from the shark, ensuring he did not drown. The boy had lost his right arm and a chunk of his right thigh in the attack.

Arbogast's aunt, Diana Flosenzier, helped the unidentified man carry the boy from the water. Her husband, meanwhile, held onto the shark and tried to pull it to shore.

Though the shark tried to turn several times toward Flosenzier, he said his grip on its tail left the animal relatively powerless. The uncle eventually dragged the shark up the embankment, whereupon two park rangers approached.


Jessie Arbogast remains in critical but stable condition in a Pensacola hospital
One ranger, Jared Klein, pried open the shark's mouth with his expandable baton.

Peering inside, he saw Arbogast's arm, but determined it was too far inside to be removed.

"The shark was still alive and very active," Klein said, according to the report.

At that point, Klein ordered bystanders to move away, took his gun and shot the shark four times in the head.

The rangers then reopened the shark's mouth and a lifeguard, his arm wrapped in a towel, reached inside with "medical tweezers" and pulled the boy's arm out.

Meanwhile, Diana Flosenzier began CPR on Arbogast as her husband grabbed towels and shirts to stanch the flow of blood. The second ranger eventually took over performing CPR on Arbogast, who was not breathing and had no pulse.

Medics took Arbogast to Pensacola's Baptist Hospital, where surgeons reattached the arm in a nearly 12-hour procedure. The Mississippi native had lost almost all his blood, doctors said, and suffered organ damage.

The extent of any brain damage has not been determined.

The boy was later transferred to Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, also in Pensacola.

You better reread that link... The whole thing... It says that it is false that the guy was fishing for sharks. It says that the original news accounts were correct and that the story that the uncle had it on a line is the false story.

I did re-read it and it read the same as the first time.

You embellished the TRUE story?

I remebered the story different, but however you tell it it's an amazing story. getting the arm out of the shark was the easy part. The guy went into the surf and wrestled a bull shark that had just bitten off his nephews arm onto the sand. You got any stories like that? Maybe I'm a pussy, but I don't and am unaware of many others who do.

Your post seemed to imply that he was fishing and had the shark at the end of a fishing line and that a bunch of people were wrestling with teh shark and that's not what happened.

He killed a shark No, he did not kill it. A Ranger did.and got his nephew's arm out of the shark.No, he did not get it out. A lafeguard did


what he did is hold on to the Shark tail.. until the Rangers arrive. (and he fully deserves props for that)

the Rangers decided to shoot (kill) the Shark.. someone else cut the Shark.. and the Lifeguard got the the arm out.

I seem to remember hearing a story awhile ago of some guy who chewed off his own hand to escape being trapped somewhere. That is what I call badass.

His name is Aron Ralston, but he didn't actually chew it. Instead, he used a dull pocket knife to saw off part of his right arm after it got trapped beneath a boulder. He then had to break his own wrist, because he literally could not cut through the bone. Unbelievable. Rick Reilly wrote a column about him a few years ago, and he's also on wikipedia.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Ralston

most badass or not, I've always admired Jim Corbett for his courage. He was well over 60 and with one ear gone and down with malaria, he tracked down a man-eater tiger for more than a week miles and miles on foot and alone in dense jungle and killed it.
