Surfer suffers rare shark attack resulting in lost foot.
A rare shark attack at Kewalo Basin in Honolulu, Hawaii left 58-year-old Mike Morita without his right foot on Sunday morning. However, thanks to the quick thinking of his fellow surfers who used their surfboard leashes to make a tourniquet, and the life-saving treatment he received from paramedics and staff at Queen's Medical Center, Morita is alive and his family is grateful.

Despite the traumatic experience, there is a silver lining: the brave actions of Morita's fellow surfers and first responders, as well as the medical personnel, ultimately saved his life. The Hawaiian Department of Land and National Resources also noted that there have only been three shark attacks in the islands so far in 2023, and none on Oahu, making this incident even more remarkable. The last time a shark attack was reported in Kewalo Basin was 2002.
