Crocodile takes man in Australia

An Australian saltwater crocodile.

 
A 24-year-old man was snatched by a crocodile in front of at least 15 onlookers as he swam across a northern Australian river with a friend, police said Sunday.

Northern Territory police said the man was with a group celebrating a birthday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from Darwin, on Saturday when he decided to plunge into the water.

"They were watching him swim across," senior sergeant Geoff Bahnert told AFP of the group.

"And they just saw a crocodile with him in its jaws."

goodness me.  the news does not say anything about the young man being saved, or having disappeared forever.  it's a news item, not a thriller of a novel, so it must not presume the reader can make his own conclusions.  meanwhile, why don't some of our legislators do the same thing?  i mean, swim the same way.  it looks like they'd rather be crocodiles...
