Shark Attack Files - As Seen on the Discovery Channel
The stealthy approach of an unseen, underwater monster;a sudden burst of inescapable speed. A body jolting strike... and the ghastly aftermath. For a vulnerable human suspended helplessly in the water, the chilling prospect of a shark attack conjures up one of our most unspeakable collective nightmares: that of being devoured alive. Collected from around the world's oceans, the "Shark Attack Files" are a startling record of mankind's closest encounters with sharks and of communities divided in their attitudes toward the voracious predators. Now, travel the globe to meet the survivors of shark attack, from a Hawaiian teenager displaying the half-eaten surf board that saved him from a huge Tiger Shark's onslaught, to Australing divers among the few ever to encounter a Great White one-on-one and live to tell the tale. But, while these eyewitness accounts validate our species' innate fear of sharks, the records also show that in response, we have overreacted, unleashing shark hunting vigilantes to mecilessly decimate shark populations world-wide. As the scenes of "The Shark Attack Files" reveal, however, it's a fine line between respect for these ancient, awe inspiring creatures and our own survival in the face of nature's most lethally effective flesh-eating fish.
