Fireman’s chilling story of true grit — and pure luck
-
AFRANTIC firefighter miraculously escaped death when a 12-foot alligator chomped half his head off in a Florida lake — and drone footage captured the entire horrifying disaster!
Juan Carlos La Verde, 34, was filming a promo instructional video in Lake Thonotosassa, near Tampa, for an upcoming swimming event and did not notice what the overhead drone was catching — the sight of the enormous, deadly reptile steaming straight toward him!
The gator opened its terrifying jaws wide and crunched into the man’s skull, piercing his brain with its razor-sharp teeth.
