OMG! How scary! I hope she's going to be okay, then she'll have one heck of a "fish story"

When I was growing up in South Florida, the fishermen always said, "It's not the sharks you have to worry about; they're gentle compared to the barracuda."

But I had no idea they were talking about air attacks!
