A German tourist who narrowly escaped the Bali bombings traveled onward to Australia only to be killed by a crocodile.
Ohfergawdsake!
Isabel von Jordan (27) and her sister Valerie (25) had left the Sari Club just an hour before the October 12 bombings that ripped through Bali’s nightlife area, killing at least 190 people. The sisters, from Munich, later flew to Australia’s Northern Territory to visit friends who had been wounded in the terrorist attack and evacuated to a Darwin hospital. From Darwin they joined a tour to the scenic Kakadu National Park. On the night of October 22, the sisters and six other tourists were taken by a guide for a moonlight dip in the Sandy Creek Billabong, despite signs posted at the waterhole that advised people not to swim because of the dangers of lurking crocodiles. At about 11.30pm a 4.6 meter saltwater crocodile snapped its massive jaws around Isabel’s waist and swam away with her.
