One tough young lady here

[NNN0LHI]

Bethany Hamilton, 13, rising surfing star who lost her arm to a tiger shark while surfing on Halloween on Kauai's North Shore, is interviewed on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2003, at Kilauea, Hawaii. She said, 'I wasn't that scared.' Hamilton said she will continue to surf and the worst part of losing her arm to a shark was seeing her loved ones cry. (AP Photo/Dennis Fujimoto)

5. Amazing story.

I don't what to think about this young lady. I only wish more people were similar to her. Jebus knows that I'd not handle a similar situation nearly as well.

7. Wow what a tough girl

I admit if that was me I would be crying like a baby and I would never go surfing again, and you know what, with two arms I dont wanna go surfing ever. No I am not afraid of water, I am just afraid of being hit with the surfboard on the head then drowning.
