Two men, one shark, one survivor. By Maria (Newspaper Report)

Sunday 7th September

Two divers were taking photos of a Great white shark at 5:30 last night, underneath the Svinesund Bridge between Sweden and Norway, when something they were not counting on struck…

Two Swedish divers, Johan Lindberg and Anders Nilsson, had heard the news that a Great white was swimming just outside Sweden. The two men had never seen a Great white before, so they decided to take some photos of it, to sell and get millions. They weren’t sure how dangerous the shark could get, so they ordered a helicopter, just incase things got too dangerous.

“Vi vet inte hur det hende, fasst vi tog nara kort, och sen blev hajen irriterad och borjade simma efter oss” Said Johan Lindberg. In English it is, “We don’t know how it happened, but we took some photos and then the shark got irritated and started swimming after us” “Jag tror att kamra blixten var for gjust for hajen sa den blev arg pa oss” Translation: “I think the camera flash was too bright for the shark so it got angry at us”

The men signaled for the helicopter to come down and save them. But only one survived. Johan was on the ladder when Anders was still in the water. The shark leaped out of the water to attack. There was only one thing the pilot of the helicopter could do. The pilot lifted the helicopter so the shark would miss Johan and have Anders as its dinner.

As the shark swept passed Johan, the shark took Johan’s right leg with him. The shark then landed on Anders. “Jag kunde bara lyfta upp helicoptern for att anarsh skulle hajen ata boda” Translation: “I could only lift the helicopter up, because otherwise the shark would eat both” Said Lasse Lonsater, the pilot of the helicopter.

Leaving his friend, eaten in tragedy, Johan (in the helicopter) rushed to the nearest hospital, to get surgery on his right leg. The doctor said that the chances of the recovery are high, though they still need some medication on Johan to get the shark’s bacteria out.
