Description
Shark attack! The very expression sends a shiver down the spine. It conjures terrifying images of hidden menace from the undersea world, of rasping teeth, of injuries too horrifying to contemplate, of once-calm water foaming pink with blood. The reality of shark attack includes all these nightmares, and more. Few fears in the human imagination can compare with being eaten alive by this baleful killer fish. All of these things happen, usually without warning, to real people just like you or I. But they happen very, very rarely, and are but a tiny part of the truth behind this mysterious and misunderstood creature. Shark Attack explains the reality behind the killer facade.
