Sharks at Amity Beach? Hmmm. Where did Jaws take place?

Might not these drumlines actually draw sharks to the area?

Drum lines? Why don't they just make the bathers wear
chumbelts?

If you're being attacked by a shark and you have a chance to say anything, scream like bloody murder. Anything less might be mistaken as a joke.

Bull sharks: highest testosterone count in the animal kingdom and a mouth full of teeth. Not a happy combination.

Nobody actually saw three sharks attack, it's just an opinion. If the water was murky, I wonder if they mistook the swimmer for food?

Why do people swim at shark 'dinnertime'?

Same name. Different location.

The original Jaws was set in the US. This tragedy occurred in Australia.
