A baseball-mad Pennsylvania schoolboy lost his hand in a savage alligator attack while on a fishing vacation – despite his dad’s best efforts to free him moments before it performed a terrifying roll. Brodie Terry, 11, was attacked during the trip at Nelson’s Fish Camp, Marion County, Florida, on June 27, just about as he was to release a fish back into the water, WKMG reported. The gator, which measured eight-feet, seven-inches, clamped its teeth into Brodie’s hand, sparking a frantic response.
