A nursing monk seal with a young pup attacked a woman in Hawaii, pulling her under water and bit her

A 60-year-old woman has been attacked by an endangered seal at Waikiki beach in Hawaii.

The monk seal was protecting its young pup when it made the attack, pulling the swimmer under the water and biting her.

Bystanders shouted from the shore saying “get out!” and “somebody call the police.”

The woman is a teacher from California. She managed to escape with the help of other beachgoers who pulled her to shore. She had bite wounds on her face, arm, and back.

The man who recorded the incident, Markus Faigle, says this is not a seal attacking a human, that’s for me the totally wrong way of looking at this.”

“It’s a mama seal that’s protecting its pup, and there happens to be a human who is at the wrong place at the wrong time,” he says.

Thankfully, the woman was able to escape with the help of other beachgoers who pulled her to shore.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
