Class act camera guy….even classier -the segment producer that left in that shot
Don’t go where the crocs live.
This man has a homerun of a wife.
OMG! Baby boy!! What were you thinking huny. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Prayers!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
who in the right mind would ever swim in a lake like that especially where you can't see the bottom… seriously people wake up.
so the dude is a former pj, that's like navy SEALs for the air force with the level and amount of training they go through but they do this to go into harm's way to save others… a very noble profession and those dudes are top shelf in my book… he's a floridian according to this news clip so he was well aware of gators lurking in just about any body of water there… i'm thinking that he consciously made a bad decision perhaps because he thought he could handle even a gator attack should it happen… he likely didn't anticipate that a 12' gator would do the attacking… i think that sometimes when you're part of the elite sof outfits you get in your head the idea that you're more invincible than other folks and when you're at that level this will actually make you better at what you do… however, predatory animals don't care about your notions and that's when a reality check happens… i still think this dude deserves much respect simply by his chosen military profession but he failed to exercise some basic common sense here… of course there might be other factors to this story not mentioned by this brief piece of news clip…
Atletes (Specially Man) Thinks they're invencible untl they are not… that was so close..
It’s Florida so it’s normal
So this man didnt know that there are alligators on that lake?
The alligator was confused because he fought back. Something his prey probably normally don’t do. So he gave up and left. But he fought because he deep down wanted to be alive and that’s a blessing in itself. God granted that wish.
A alligator bite can be stitched or stapled up like a dog bite. My neighbor's dog bit my leg and took a chunk out of it as I was trying to keep our dog away from him, cause he got bit on the face twice already. After I got bit, we reported the neighbors dog to the police and animal control and I went to the hospital to get 4 stitches. After the incident, the dog had to be in quarantine for14 days to made sure he didn't have raibies. The dog was updated on his rabie shots. A dog bite is not usually stitched up due to the bacteria in the dog's mouth.
Gta6 is gonna be crazy
Minute 1:17 is savage af 😂😂😂 I see what you did there
shouldn't have been there in the first place. oh well
God bless that man. Wow
The cameraman has a side mission🗿
What was he thinking?! When i was just a boy everyone in Florida told me, no swimming in the lakes, don't even get close to the waters edge. He had to have known the dangers as a Florida native…
God bless him. I hope he’s doing well. 🙏
Stop crying, you're a little dumb a** You wanna be below the food change? Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid stupid. Stupid.
Idiot. And God had nothing to do with this man’s obscene stupidity.
Abc content is not great. It is trash
This is exactly why I don’t go in water
jesus man, no need to go to florida, ever. let alone live there. how is he now
Anything abc is garbage
Humans belong on land. Alligators in water, you don't have gills. You didn't evolve with gills. Stay away from water. You don't belong there, simple and now your life is ruined
They couldn't reconstruct his head with a metal plate or something?
NEVER EVER SWIM IN ANY LAKE OR POND IN FLORIDA 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

So glad you survived and I wish you all the best. Sending so much love to you and yours❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

" Find your god"???
MAN CREATED god.
ALL of them !
A bloke got eaten by a 20 ft croc in Australia just last week.
Pretty sure he's only thinking about motorboating now.
The camera man knew what he was doing 😂 bless his eye
If the woman was the owner of the company, I think she would of left him , but he is the owner ❤ .. he has the 💰 money
“Find your god!!!?” You’d think the message would be “don’t swim in lakes where gators are known to live”. I guess that’s too rational 😫😮💨
Pools are safe so swim there. Too many dare devils out here.
That was a pretty dumb choice to swim in that green looking as$ water in the first place.
Having your lady by your side is huge. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
Why would you go swimming in a lake in florida! When aligators live in these lakes! Throughout the whole state!..I hope he recovered!
I'm so thankful that he's ok- yes with God you can get through anything , God bless his man and may he have a full recovery.🙏❤️🕊️✝️
