Disproved on The Mythbusters a few years ago when they did a Jaws special. However they did prove a great white could conceivably sink a small boat by ramming it.
it worked? I saw it in the movies???....he used an M1 Garand on a bottle of compressed air.....WHAM!
I know the mythbuster thing was bogus....because Jaws was one of the best flicks ever......
all kidding aside...a friends father was a commercial fisherman and he saw someone drop a bottle on the dock and it sheared off the head end when it hit a rail or something and it shot across the harbor and cracked the hull on a boat it hit....a lot of energy but not an explosive energy.
There is historical information of that happening to people in dorys.
Channel 5 Boston had a tease about the Chatham sharks. News at 5 PM.
I will e out of the house then and back in later.
I would bet by tonight Dr. Skomal says they are whites.
One of the reason biologists hold off on saying white shark is they want a chance to try and tag one, before the mayhem of sightseers ensues. - Tom
