‘Blackout silenced shark alarm’
‘Blackout silenced shark alarm’

An Eskom power blackout in Cape Town prevented a shark spotter at Fish Hoek from sounding a warning alarm before a man was attacked by a great white shark, the City of Cape Town said on Thursday.
“At around 12.25pm (on Wednesday), the mountain shark spotter saw a swimmer enter the water near the Clovelly Corner area,” the City of Cape Town said in a report on the incident.
“The spotter tried to sound the alarm, but due to an Eskom-related city-wide electricity failure, the alarm did not sound.”
Eskom said it was not aware of the City of Cape Town's report and could not immediately comment.
Michael Cohen, a 43-year-old British man, was in a stable condition in a Cape Town hospital on Thursday afternoon.
According to National Sea Rescue Institute spokesman Craig Lambinon his right leg was bitten off, as was part of his left leg below the knee.
He said shark spotters had warned Cohen not to enter the water because three sharks had been seen.
“We were told repeatedly by the shark spotters on the scene that they physically told him (Cohen) not to enter the water,” said Lambinon.
This was not the first time Cohen had ignored the beach spotters' warnings, he said.
“They have spoken to him on previous occasions as well, but he still goes and swims.”
What a dumb fool !
How did you guess ?
