A 19-year-old girl had her leg bitten off by a tiger shark in a horrifying scene a day after an 11-year-old boy endured a similar attack at another beach just a few miles away. Disturbing video of the incident shows Marcela Vitoria de Lima Santos, 19, being dragged to shore by a lifeguard and bystanders after she was bitten, eerily resembling footage captured at the nearby beach during the shark mauling a day earlier. Lima said the badly-injured woman’s leg was amputated at the thigh. The incident comes after an 11-year-old bite victim, Joao Lucas Castor Nemezio Sales, was taken to the same hospital after he was attacked at Piedade Beach — just 10 minutes down the coast from Boa Viagem.
