RECIFE, Brazil (KTLA) — A Brazilian teenager who was on the verge of drowning was attacked by a shark as lifeguards tried to rescue her, authorities announced Tuesday.
It happened Monday in the waters off Boa Viagem in northeastern Brazil.
Bruni Gobbi, 18, and her cousin were on the verge of drowning when lifeguards spotted them in distress, according to the local government’s social defense secretariat.
Lifeguards responded immediately, but in the midst of the rescue, a shark grabbed Gobbi’s left leg, the secretariat said.
Rescuers managed to pull her to shore, but she died later that night at a local hospital.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
