Travelers and locals in the Australian state of Queensland are caught in a real-life "Jaws" film after a "monster" shark -- perhaps measuring as long as 20 feet -- was believed to have mauled another great white shark. As the picture shows, the smaller shark was bitten almost in two.
The violent shark-on-shark attack is raising fears along the Queensland coast. Authorities have warned swimmers to stay out of the waters around Stradbroke Island, a popular tourist destination for Australians, while the giant shark remains on the prowl. "It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a substantial shark in itself," Jeff Krause of Queensland Fisheries told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. null In one swift bite the larger shark, estimated to be 5 feet shorter than the fictional shark in the movie "Jaws," apparently tore into the side of a 10-foot great white that had gotten tangled in netting near north Stradbroke Island. "That cannibal thing is what great whites do. They'll eat anything, including their own kind," shark expert Hugh Edwards told Channel 7 News in Australia. "It would be sensible not to swim in that area for some little while because obviously the big shark has been there." The big bite is not settling well with the local surfers. "Whatever attacked and took chunks out of this big shark must be massive," 19-year-old surfer Ashton Smith told the Courier Mail. "I've heard about the big one that's lurking out there somewhere. We're all being very, very cautious." About 500 feet from the shore, shark nets line the popular beaches of Queensland to protect swimmers from the violent sea predators. Environmentalists have complained the nets are taking the lives of migrating whales. Australian Marine Conservation Society Director Darren Kindleysides told the Courier Mail that "recent figures on the number of sharks caught showed the nets were working but at huge cost to whales, dolphins and turtles." Shark hunter Vic Hislop also told the Courier Mail he "believes shark nets are too damaging to the overall marine environment, and that methods should be explored to scare away sharks rather than capture and kill them." Despite the complaints from environmentalists, the Australian government has stood by its decision to protect the beaches from predators. Fisheries Minister Tim Mulherin told London's Daily Mail that the capture of the bitten shark -- and reports of a larger one feeding in the area -- are further justification for the protections currently in place. Since the defense program was started 47 years ago in Queensland, there has been only one fatal attack on a protected beach. http://abcnews.go.com/WN/shark-shark-attack-off-australias-coast/story?id=8925786 A theme park in Australia has cancelled its planned reopening this weekend after police said that having guests inside the park could interfere with their investigation into the accident that killed four people on Tuesday, 9 News Australia reported.

"Postponing the service will give the Queensland Police Service the time it needs to conduct this investigation," the park, Dreamworld Australia, said in a statement. Two women, aged 42 and 32, and two men, aged 38 and 35, were killed Tuesday after a raft on the Thunder River Rapids ride at the amusement park on Queensland's Gold Coast turned over on its conveyor belt, police said. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. "We are deeply shocked and saddened by today's accident," the park said in a statement following the incident. "Our hearts and thoughts go to the families involved and their loved ones." After the tragedy, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay decided on Tuesday to shut down its Congo River Rapids ride which park officials say is similar to the ride in Australia. Park officials said the Congo River Rapids ride was closed "out of an abundance of caution" while they work to understand what happened in Australia, according to The Associated Press.

Kurt Rappaport, one of the co-founders of the Westside Estate Agency, gave "Nightline" a tour of one of the mansions. "Never been lived in, took a little over two years to build, the owner started construction in 2005 and just finished," he said. The 12,000 square feet of living space includes a wood-paneled library, massive living room and a kitchen with everything, including two dishwashers. "The floors are all French limestone, all hand cut, each piece individually selected," Rappaport said. And then came the closet, which was the size of about two large bedrooms. Or a New York City apartment. The asking price is $18 million, and the final sales price is likely to be pretty much the same. Buyers in Bel Air won't find any deals as a result of the subprime crisis, or the mortgage foreclosures. "We have no foreclosures, and in the high-end areas here, there are no foreclosures," Rappaport explained. "We have no subprime mortgages." No Mortgage At All Usually, he said, there is no mortgage. Most people might think of high-end real estate as something that costs maybe $750,000, but the real high end is $10 million, $20 million, $100 million. It is a world apart from the kind of real estate that's in crisis. This market doesn't need to keep prices down. "It used to be that 75 percent of the buyers on the high end were people you knew or people you'd heard of. Now it's the opposite," Rappaport said. "There's wealth coming from so many different sectors. From Europeans to Russians, Chinese, technology people, all coming into our marketplace, which we didn't have a few years ago." In October 2006, in Rappaport's office alone, sales of homes priced $10 million or above amounted to $81 million. And in October of this year, sales of homes $10 million or above totaled $161 million. Sometimes, unlike in Monopoly, the property is worth more with no house. Rappaport pointed out 12.5 vacant acres in the heart of Bel Air. "The person who buys this isn't spending just $60 million for the land. They're going to spend another $40 or $50 million in building the house, so somebody will spend in excess of $100 million here," he explained. "But at the end of the day, they'll have something that's probably worth double that." Cecilia Waeschle is a broker who keeps what's known in real estate circles as the list, a record of top-end real estate sales, some of which were never made public. "When I first started, it was called the $3 million list. Now I think we should call it -- $10 million is the new $3 million," she said. The numbers practically jump off the page: $16 million, $18.5 million, $22 million and a home that sold for $35 million, $2 million more than the asking price. Right now she has a listing for a funky 1960's Malibu beach house: 80 feet of oceanfront, six bedrooms, an original kitchen and a green shag carpet. It's going for $17 million. Waeschle said the buyers will "redo" it rather than move in right away. A few miles up the coast, real estate agent Chris Cortazo is offering a three-year-old house on an acre of land overlooking the Pacific. The asking price is $18 million. According to Cortazo, anybody who wants to buy this house will show up with a checkbook, not a subprime mortgage. Rappaport is currently marketing a Beverly Hills mansion once owned by publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, a house with the highest asking price in the United States: $165 million. "It may take a little while. We've already had a couple of offers. It's been on the market only for a very short period of time. There's a lot of interest -- a lot of people coming from all over the world and locally to see it," Rappaport said. The mega-rich will continue to spend this kind of cash as long as real estate is viewed as profitable, according to Rappaport. "I don't see any stop to it, because I think real estate is the most understandable asset to acquire," he said. "This is not like buying a position of a company that could be worthless in a couple of years. This is a piece of property, you can walk on it, you can feel it, you understand the location and the magnitude of the house, that's real value. That's why people perceive real estate as being the best long term investment." http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/RealtyCheck/story?id=3920904&page=1 |
