Alligator drags child into water at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel
Wow
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...614-story.html Deputies were searching late Tuesday night for a toddler who was dragged into the water by an alligator near Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa earlier in the evening, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The 2-year-old child was dragged into the Seven Seas Lagoon about 9:30 p.m., Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Rose Silva said. Deputies were searching the waters and put crime-scene tape around area to block it off. Multiple emergency vehicles filled the front drive of the Victorian-style hotel and a helicopter hovered overhead. The child, whose name was not available, has not been found as of 11 p.m. Some witnesses said they saw the toddler along the beach near the water, but no eye-witnesses to him being dragged into the water by an alligator were available for comment Tuesday night. The hotel is an upscale luxury resort owned by Disney. It is one of three hotels on the monorail line, just one stop away from the Magic Kingdom Park. Hotel guest A.J. Jain and his family were visiting Disney from Georgia and said he and his kids were playing on the beach near the scene of the incident earlier Tuesday. “I’m just here to say a prayer,” he said. “I can’t imagine what those parents are going through. It’s been one tough week in Orlando.” It is not clear if the missing child was staying at the hotel. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. |

[QUOTE=Silock;12283847]Since 1948, there were only 17 fatal attacks by gators in the entire state. It's not just luck. It's suuuuuper rare.
And even if the water weren't connected to a natural source, gators can climb fences and walk 30 miles across land. You aren't going to keep them out.[/QUOTE] When Trump becomes president that shit will come to an end ! |

I guess. Sounds like a really, really stupid thing to do.

Teenagers who grew up here know not to **** with them but they do anyway. While their friends film them ****ing with the gator. They know to keep their distance but will throw shit at them, toss live chickens at them for fun to watch.

I'd bet if the gator decided he liked the bigger piece of meat throwing the chicken, not a chance in hell you could get away. Better be armed or you might be dinner.

Feeding gators just increases more bad situations over time.

I did a lot of really stupid shit as a kid. I mean, a lot of stupid shit. But I never messed with a wild animal that was any bigger than my foot. That's just stupid.

Indeed. Which is why I was bitten twice by snakes as a teenager. I was pretty dumb back then. Thankfully, they weren't venomous( found out after the fact both times) |

When I was 8 years old a friend (also 8) and I were chased out of a stream by a water moccasin. It is very possible that I ran across the surface of the water at some points, I was going that fast. My friend actually shit his pants during the episode. It rolled out of the leg of his jeans when we were walking on the road back home. I also stepped right on top of a non venomous snake in the middle of the night, in a big field. I was with my cousin and yelled, "Snaaaaaaaaaaake!" and we took off running. Found out later the poor thing wouldn't even have bitten me, it was probably terrified.

They can run really fast over short distances in a straight line but don't do so good turning, so run in circles until help arrives.
