Ian Redmond Was Killed By A Bull Shark, A Tiger Shark And The Moon: All The Tabloids Facts
WHEN Ian Redmond was killed by a shark in the Seychelles the Sun said he had been “eaten“. He wasn’t. The paper then told us that the shark was a bull shark, of a type that had inspired the film Jaws. Now the Sun tells us that the shark was “thought to be a Great White“. You know, like in the film Jaws.
And this shark is controlled by the moon, apparently:
THE shark that killed a honeymoon Briton may be driven to strike by the full moon, fishermen warned yesterday.
May.
They fear the predator… will head back to its Seychelles feeding ground for a THIRD TIME within days.
Fear.
Jean Baptiste-Pool, who has hunted sharks since he was a boy, revealed how he had predicted the beast would return to claim a second victim – IT consultant Ian Redmond, 30.
The expert tells us:
“He could kill again any time after August 29.”
Well, yes…
But we want facts. So, it’s back to the Sun’s in-house experts:
It was a carbon copy of the death of French tourist Nicolas Virolle, 32, on Anse Lazio Beach on August 1 – also three days after the new moon.
M. Virolle was scuba diving. Mr Redmond wasn’t. And Let’s see those new moon times for the Seychelles:
1 Jul 2011 – New Moon at 12:54
30 Jul 2011 – New Moon at 22:40
29 Aug 2011 – New Moon at 07:04
Ian Redmond was killed on August 16.
Such are the facts and the Sun’s moon science.
