Rick Fingeret was walking his dogs near a pond when he was attacked by an 11-foot alligator. Fingeret fought back, but the alligator had him by the leg.

Will Georgitis, a diver, was attacked by an alligator in the Cooper River in South Carolina, resulting in a severely broken arm. After being pinned underwater and nearly running out of oxygen, Georgitis managed to escape by stabbing the gator with a screwdriver and ripping his arm free. He has received medical treatment and set up a GoFundMe for his recovery, which is expected to involve multiple surgeries.
