Fatal fall causes bad results. By Alesha (Newspaper Report)

On Sunday the 7th September David Okamashi from Miami Florida fell off Auckland Bridge while on holiday. Brad S.,a 14 year old boy and his sister Alesha saw the accident and called Westpac helicopters to come to the rescue.

When Westpac arrived Andrew Towns (a Westpac crew member) nearly got eaten by the shark while he was on the ladder to the rescue.

When David was out of the water they realized he had been bitten by a baby whale shark which obviously attracted the great white.

Andrew says “In my entire job I’ve never seen anything like this.”

David Okimashi is still in hospital and will be having surgery tomorrow.
