If you remember back in February, Charla Nash was the infamous victim of a chimpanzee attack that left her disfigured and near death. Today, she will be appearing on Oprah, telling her story of the horrific incident.
From the 911 tapes, you could tell the attack was pretty shocking and it’s a miracle Nash was able to survive. Initial police reports said charges might be brought against Nash’s friend/owner of the chimpanzee, but it is unclear if this actually happened.
Some reports said the Chimpanzee was on Xantax at the time of the attack, but that has yet to be proven as well.

I think you should post some sort of warning before the pictures, they are very explicit.

Monkeys are monkeys. Even human beings when triggered can get out of control. I admire Charla Nash for her strength & courage to show herself out on national T.V. just to warn the people and tell her story. I'm hoping that she will be able to receive continuous love, support & concern for a long, long time.

Charles, dear, what exactly did you expect?? You know the story and your human curiosity drove you to take a peek. Me too. but it is truely disapointing that one would be as shallow as to suggest censoring or announcement of exlpicit content when the situation clearly was a decision between her life or her looks. we need not be sissies and complain of the graphic nature of this. Moreover, it should be made a point for the world to see the life that this woman must now live because of an animal that cannot be controlled being treated as a pet. Cudos to Charla for having the strength and courage to survive this ordeal, and to bury her pride and expose her disfigurement so the rest of the world might avoid a comparable tragedy.

can Charla smell,taste or even eat? It's horrible enough to lose your sight, but lose smell,sight,taste or (perhaps hearing too)!!That's more than I could handle,three maybr four of your senses gone

I went back to read more about this horrible tragedy and I see she still had her ears,so I hope there was no nerve damage and can at least hear/still beable to touch for her senses. I feel so "BAD" for her!!!
