The Case of the New Jersey Man-Eater
Over a 10-day period during July 1916, five shark attacks occurred along the New Jersey shore. Four of the victims died and the fifth was seriously injured. This extraordinary cluster of attacks was almost certainly the inspiration for JAWS and is among the most notorious events in the long and grim history of shark-human interactions.
The particulars of each attack -- who got bitten, when, where, and how badly -- have been told and re-told many times in popular shark books and documentaries. These facts are well established and most of them need not concern us here. What does seem in need of a more thorough investigation is whether one or more sharks were involved in these attacks and of what species was -- or were -- most likely responsible.
I just copied/pasted that. They always want to know what kinfd of shark it is. They Caught a white shark, cut it open and it had the leg of one of the vicitms that had his leg bitten off. I think that's pretty damning evidence. Someone always brings up a bunch of facts about bullsharks and yadda yadda yadda, but the fact remains, They Caught a White shark that had one of the Victims legs in it. Tadda daa, Guilty, and DEAD!
I'm just tossing this up, because on the show they got alomst every fact wrong, except there was a crazed shark XD
