Come to Florida you can have them both. Florida was ranked #1 on the deadliest beaches (614) unprovoked shark attacks .. we are also the lightning capital of the US .[TUF]Catbox wrote:
You have more of a chance of being hit by lightning then attacked by a shark from what i've heard...
but after watching the shark week show i'm done with going in the Ocean...lol.

Some are real vids, but a lot are probably re-stages of te actual attacks. People may not have had a camera at the time of an attack, but some times they ask the spectators what happened, and after they get enough details (AKA the victim swam to a reef, got attacked by a really aggressive mako, etc.) they can re-create the scenario.Hurricane2k9 wrote:
how long can they show videos of shark attacks for till people get sick of shark week?
i mean with the advent of the internet isn't every week basically shark week since I can just look for shark attack videos online?
also i'm pretty sure those videos are fake, i mean how many people have broadcast-HD quality cameras in waterproof casings with them out at sea?

Yeah, shark week is awesome. You missed out yesterday ig. Terry from futureweapons and shit was recreating shark survival situations. They blew up his boat and chummed the water. He was surrounded by reef sharks and was literally fighting them off with a fishing pole while staying afloat with to parts of a plastic cooler. Was epic.ig wrote:

its gotten soo anooying. ready for it to start so i dont have to see it anymore
tiger, bulls, and nurse sharks are just as dangerous as great whites.. weird right?andros wrote:
never really watched it but sharks are pretty cool.
not much too worry about as far as attacks go. in the US, cali and florida are the only states (guess hawaii too). great whites in cali, tiger sharks in hawaii, and bull sharks in florida. (as far as one's that are mostly known for attacks, i may be wrong though)
only ever seen a great white once around malibu, massive looking thing (guess around 18 ft maybe, 3,000lbs?). last time someone died out here was like earlier this year i believe and that was the first time in a while.
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
true, aren't bulls considered more aggressive than great whites actually? maybe not, just remember reading it somewhere.Kmar wrote:

Florida leads the way in shark attacks, but that probably has a lot to do with how many beach visitors we get each year.
*i shouldn't have said a lot more..
