There was not even a first-aid kit: the sharks attacked a tourist in the Bahamas, but the rescuers did not dare to help her

The 21-year-old girl who died after the shark pack attack in the Bahamas stated that the travel company did not even have a first-aid kit.

Jordan Lindsey, an honorary student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, 26 June was engaged in scuba diving on the island of Rose - a popular place northeast of the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau. Three sharks attacked her on the same day.

According to the Royal Bahamas Police, she bit off her right arm.

On Tuesday, her family published a statement to clarify what happened that day and urge tour companies to take mandatory security measures.

While the whole family was on Rose Island as part of the Sandy Toes Day day excursion, Jordan and her mother Kami went snorkeling. Her brothers and sisters, father and old friend did not witness the attack.

When Jordan and Kami entered the water, they were seen by employees who were finishing their dinner on land.

According to the family, during the attack Jordan and her mother were in a separate place for snorkeling. Other divers swam at a great distance from the place where the attack occurred, and then jumped out of the water, fearing for their safety. The family said no one had seen sharks before the attack.

According to the statement, none of the employees of Sandy Toes did not intervene and "did not mobilize to provide any assistance."

“Jordanah's mother recalls that when she swam to her daughter and asked her to swim to her, she thought that a boat would be sent for them to pull them out of the water and provide assistance, but this did not happen,” the statement said.

Two officers from a stony hill screamed to sail toward them. When mother and daughter tried to swim towards each other and to a rocky hill, a shark appeared between them and attacked Jordan again. By this time, Kami was able to grab Jordan by the arm and drag her to the rocky shore, where the officers pulled them both out of the water.

As soon as the mother and daughter came out of the water waiting to receive first aid, the staff did not have a first-aid kit. As a result, they were not given any assistance at all.

It seemed to them that a lifetime had passed before the rescue boat arrived. It turned out that it was only a bench and a driver. An employee helped Kami put Jordan in a boat and they left for Nassau.

“There were no medicines or basic necessities on the boat. The only thing that was there was the towels that were used to cover Jordan,” the statement said.

The family reported that after their Jordan and her mother were taken to the hospital by an ambulance, where the young girl died.

“We want travelers to be aware that when booking a tour, the company may not have basic safety precautions or first aid equipment,” the family said in a statement.

The employees of Sandy Toes did not inform the tragedy of the rest of the Jordan family, who were still on Rose Island. Instead, they heard conversations from other people who dive with a mask and snorkel, and noticed how people were crying, and finally realized what had happened.

Dr. Erich Ritter, a scientist at the Shark Research Institute, and Dr. Christopher Low, director of the Shark Laboratory at California State University in Long Beach, said that the chances of seeing three sharks attack are equal to winning the Powerball lottery jackpot.

Ritter suggests that the attack provoked food that was thrown into the water.

“There had to be a reason. This is not normal behavior for any shark,” Ritter said.

Ritter was also concerned about the message that diving with a mask and snorkel of a group of people was not accompanied by staff or swimmers. In Florida, he runs a SharkSchool school, which teaches swimmers and divers how to safely swim in shark water, and argues that guides should always swim with clients.

The family of the deceased girl said that travel companies should have an emergency plan: animal bites, jellyfish, heart attacks, or shark attacks.

The family thanked the people who helped bring the body of Jordan back to California.

Jordan was a member of the National Honor Society Tau Sigma and worked as a communications assistant at the College of Science and Engineering.
