This sounds like something that would come out of Jaws. It is a shame, my prayers and sympathies for the victim, his friends and family. I pray for the repose of his soul.

I'll start humming the theme to Jaws now.

It is kind of surreal here at the moment. This stuff is dominating our media, it really is like a Jaws type hysteria.

An attack by two great whites is unusual. The lady described one of the sharks as "the size fo the boat". I wonder if it is possible these are actually young Carchedon Megladon sharks. I imagine Megladons hunted in pairs because their prey were whales.

Might be going to australia soon to surf so this is bad news.

Is it really as bad as all this though? Or just a load of hype to fill the papers. I mean what are the chances of getting muched by a shark, still pretty feckin small right???!

 

[diplomatic_lie]

You should be more concerned with getting killed in a traffic accident on your way to the beach, drowning in the sea, or having a coconut fall on your head.

Shark attacks are rare, especially on patrolled beaches. On unpatrolled beaches, they're still rare.

 

[Cbaoth]

Exactly, when I said Jaws type Hysteria. I meant it was unfounded hype. I mean 28 attacks since 99, 2 only fatal... out of the how many millions that went swimming round our beaches??

 

[Cheatz]

Don't worry that attack happened in adelaide.

PROTIP: Noone goes to adelaide cause it's a hole.

Typically an Amercian started this thread.

Read what Cbaoth Said.

Oh yeah another thing 50 boats were searching for the shark for two days, Us humans take great offence not being top of the food chain. No disrespect to the victim family (Even though they wanted the search called off).

The shark was only doing what millions of years of programming has it wired to do.

I know! whats with that? If you go swimming in the sea your in the sharks world so you have to just deal with it if you get unlucky.

Did you see that sorty about the american kid who got munched by a croc? The family declared 'war' on the croc and vowed to kill as many as needed to find the remains of there boy.
