A disturbing clip has surfaced of a diver being mauled by the world's fastest shark which can swim up to 45mph in a savage attack. Chad Patti and his friend Josh Loucks were spearfishing on New Year's Day when he was attacked by a 10ft shortfin mako shark which was swimming around 70 miles off of Florida's coast in the US.
In the chilling clip, the terrified fisherman can be heard screaming as his friend dives into the water in an attempt to rescue him. Mr Patti said he was convinced that the monstrous shark had devoured his scuba-diving fin as it had chomped down on it before vanishing. "The first scream, the 'help,' I didn’t think I had a leg, honestly. It wasn’t just a bump. I got it [the video] slowed down five times the speed and you can see the shark clearly has the fin in its mouth.
He went on to claim that the shark had seized the fin on his foot to launch itself at him which is believed to be a popular hunting tactic used by the species to disable their prey. Mr Patti explained: "It did what any mako does. It kind of takes out the motor, cuts the tail off the fish in the first strike and then it doubles back and finishes it off.
Absolute nonsense.

Dollar Stores and Food Access for Rural Households in the United States, 2008‒2020Dollar stores have rapidly expanded their food offerings in recent years. These foods tend to be higher in calories and lower in nutrients, raising public health concerns, especially in rural and low-income areas where food-access challenges are often greatest. However, there is limited empirical evidence evaluating the impact of this expansion on household food purchases on a national scale. Using data from a yearly, nationally representative panel of approximately 50 000 households, we estimated the share of food purchases from 2008 to 2020 by store type and evaluated the role of dollar stores as food retailers in the United States. We found that dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share (increasing by 89.7%), with rural growth outpacing growth elsewhere (increasing by 102.9%). Though dollar stores still represent a small share of national household food purchases (2.1% in 2020), they play an increasingly prominent role in food-at-home purchases for certain disadvantaged and rural communities. Understanding the quality of the foods they offer and how this may affect diet-related health outcomes is warranted. (Am J Public Health.
