San Diego beaches shut down after fatal shark attack
Beaches along the San Diego, California, coast will be closed Saturday after a 66-year-old man was fatally attacked by what authorities suspect was a great white shark.
Dave Martin apparently bled to death after being bitten across his thighs.
Dave Martin, a retired veterinarian, was pronounced dead shortly after the incident, which occurred about 7 a.m. Friday (10 a.m. ET) at Solana Beach, California.
Martin was in a group of nine swimmers "when he was bitten across both thighs by what is believed to be a great white shark," according to a statement issued by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
"Some of the other swimmers looked back to see the victim up out of the water flailing, and (he) was pulled back under the water. He came up screaming and was helped to shore by four of the swimmers."
Martin was taken to a nearby lifeguard station, and a medical helicopter was called in, but he apparently bled to death at the scene, the statement said.
Deputy Fire Chief Dismas Abelman said Martin suffered severe injuries to both his legs, although his body was intact. He was pronounced dead at 7:49 a.m. Watch officials describe the attack »
The incident occurred in the Fletcher Cove area of Solana Beach near a popular surf spot known as Table Tops, one of the main access areas to Solana Beach, said Sheriff's Lt. Mike McClain.
A sheriff's helicopter was scanning the beaches for the shark, and nearby beaches were contacted, Solana Beach officials said in a statement posted on the city's Web site.
The beaches remain closed and will be patrolled throughout the weekend, city and county officials told The Associated Press.
Solana Beach is about 20 miles north of San Diego. Fatal shark attacks in the area are rare. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the last time someone was killed by a shark off San Diego was in 1994, when a 25-year-old woman died after being attacked by a great white shark in Ocean Beach


Cmq anche San Francisco non gode di ottima fama, le spiaggie intorno alla baia sono chiamate "red triangle", dove red sta per sangue .....


RED TRIANGLE (Pacific Ocean)

Approximate boundaries of the Red TriangleThe Red Triangle is the colloquial name of a roughly triangle-shaped region off the coast of northern California, extending from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, out to a bit beyond the Farallon Islands, and down to the Big Sur region, south of Monterey. The area has a very large population of marine mammals, such as elephant seals and sea lions, which are a favored meal of great white sharks.It has also been estimated that of all documented great white shark attacks on humans, more than half have occurred within the Red Triangle.The area encompasses the beaches of the heavily-populated San Francisco Bay Area, and many people enjoy surfing, swimming and diving in these waters. Some have been attacked by great white sharks.The "Red" in "Red Triangle" refers to the red blood in the water, after a shark has made its attack.
