Brazilian woman survives harpoon shooting

A Brazilian woman , Elisangela Borborema Rosa, who is 28 years old, has suffered a terrible accident. She has survived after being shot through the mouth with an harpoon in a strange accident.

 

According to her family, she was in the kitchen when she was hit by the harpoon, which her husband was cleaning in the living room.

Then she was taken to a local hospital, but immediately they take her to a regional hospital, where some surgeons operated her.

Neurosurgeon Allan da Costa said that the harpoon came within 1cm of killing her.

Now, we hope she’ll be better.

And it’s true, at first it seems a bit strange, it seems like her husband has done it expressly. But of course, we are human and we make mistakes, and often we do things unintentionally.
