What's sooo ill here is not only did a kid lose an arm, it's the math involved, the 'Where was God?' thingie...
Of all the people swimming in the ocean that day all over the world, the odds of one shark strong enough and impulsed enough to target that one person... The odds have got to be astronomical. Shark attacks are so rare yet the littlelest bite makes headlines. You've more of a chance of losing an arm or life in the average bathroom. Yet somehow, someway, 1 friggin' shark out of the umpteen millions in the ocean picks that one kid of millions of people who swim in the ocean each day...
SUCKS is all I can say. I hope they get her a new arm or figure some way to grow her a new one with all this fancy shmancy genetic engineering going on. I'll bet if she stands up and fights with even a prosthetic arm she'll be back in there at championship level anyhow.
As ironic as it seems in this twilight zone of a world, scientists will probably find the secret of regrowing limbs from some substance in shark blood or tissue. It fucking figures.
