Another Stingray Attack!
Just a month after Steve Irwin became the first person ever known to have been killed by a stingray, another man in my area is barely alive after a stingray attack.
Even more amazing, our local victim wasn't even in the water when he was stung. He was in his boat on the Intracoastal Waterway when the stingray jumped out of the water and into his boat. According to a friend who was interviewed on CNN, the man was trying to get the stingray back into the water when he was stung. Although he was in severe pain, he struggled to get the boat back safely, as he had a young passenger who wasn't able to pilot the boat.
