Brian Griffin was pulled under the dark water Wednesday, minutes after two friends spotted alligators and screamed for him to get out of the Dead River where they had been swimming, witnesses said.

"We saw gators all day," said 14-year-old Justin VanGorder, who said he was swimming with Brian. "Every time we saw them, we would get out of the water."
That's crazy. I'd stay pretty damn far away from the water...but then again, growing up around there would make you react differently.

yeah, gators are like in every major water source in Florida, it seems. There are many popular rivers, springs, and lakes with gators where people swim. Normally they keep their distance, and people don't swim right next to gators (that's just plain dumb).
