Italian surfer dies after being impaled by swordfish in ‘freak accident’ - National | Globalnews.ca
Local officials said Giulia Manfrini was surfing off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia when she was 'unexpectedly' impaled by a swordfish bill into her chest.
First they came for Steve Irwin and I said nothing...
Did they get revenge by murdering the swordfish like we do to the captive animals at zoos?
That's a sailfish, not a swordfish. Fastest fish in the sea.
The picture's been updated, I guess they realized their mistake.
Pretty sure the pictured fish is a swordfish. Sailfish have, you know, “sails”
Well actually now I’m not sure. The thumbnail has a picture of a sailfish, but the article a picture of a swordfish
That's really sad and sucks for her friends and family.
But honestly, it's a pretty badass death compared to "died of cancer at 64".
I completely agree, but would you rather your tombstone said something about your accomplishments in life, or something seriously awesome like "impaled through the chest by a fucking swordfish"
"Siregar said Manfrini was “unexpectedly” struck by the swordfish"
I mean, the alternative is you were expecting it...
Sometimes you expect it. But only when they tell you first.
Nah, I no-likea that. I changed it.
Well they don't call it a swordfish for nuthin'!
It's like death by Looney Tunes.
That was not on my bingo card
Wtf?!
It says she was pierced 2" into her chest. That's all it took to kill her? That's nuts
Depending on where on her chest it went in, maybe it punctured a lung? Not sure if your heart can be reached within 2 inches anywhere around your chest.
3.2 cm is average depth from skin to heart at its closest point to the outside. 6% of individuals is just 1.7 cm.
So 2" can be plenty to poke at it.
