Local officials said Giulia Manfrini was surfing off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia when she was 'unexpectedly' impaled by a swordfish bill into her chest.

    That’s a sailfish, not a swordfish. Fastest fish in the sea.

      Pretty sure the pictured fish is a swordfish. Sailfish have, you know, “sails”

      Well actually now I’m not sure. The thumbnail has a picture of a sailfish, but the article a picture of a swordfish

    That’s really sad and sucks for her friends and family.

        I completely agree, but would you rather your tombstone said something about your accomplishments in life, or something seriously awesome like “impaled through the chest by a fucking swordfish”

    “Siregar said Manfrini was “unexpectedly” struck by the swordfish”

    I mean, the alternative is you were expecting it…

      Sometimes you expect it. But only when they tell you first.

    Well they don’t call it a swordfish for nuthin’!

      It’s like death by Looney Tunes.

    Did they get revenge by murdering the swordfish like we do to the captive animals at zoos?

    It says she was pierced 2" into her chest. That’s all it took to kill her? That’s nuts

      Depending on where on her chest it went in, maybe it punctured a lung? Not sure if your heart can be reached within 2 inches anywhere around your chest.

        3.2 cm is average depth from skin to heart at its closest point to the outside. 6% of individuals is just 1.7 cm.

        So 2" can be plenty to poke at it.

          I see you used two different units, lets add a third to puzzle americans.

          1" is equal to 25,4 mm

            If it’s any consolation, as an American that got into 3d printing… Holy hell am I glad for metric or half the work would be converting all this imperial bullshit.

            No, Americans like fractions. You should give that measure in fractions of a parsec.
