im sorry. i cant be freaked out by JAWS. i know why it was shot the way it was, and i have absolute respect for sharks. besides i dont scare easily.
jaws doesn't scare me at all either, and I've been swimming on those beaches where it was filmed thousands of times.
some of the stuff on shark week last night scared me though! I've only swam in shark territory once- south carolina. a few hours after we got out of the water my friends and I all kind of admitted we were afraid of sharks. there were dolphins all around us, but as they noted on shark week last night that doesn't mean there's no sharks (and I was thinking, if there's stuff for the dolphins to eat, there's probably stuff for the sharks to eat). Although I bet with climate change more sharks are going to start showing up in new england. so far the only one I've seen up here are the little sand sharks, which are pretty cool (and nasty little f*ckers).

SOUTH CAROLINA IS HOME TO THE SAND TIGER SHARKS (the ones with the scary fang looking teeth ) but they live in deeper water near shipwrecks so nothing much to worry about there
robert shaw-quint-could be my favorite all time character
Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.
Over time the movie has become less scary
but when that movie came out, its was all people could talk about
that head rolling out of the boat scared people silly
also wasnt their a white sighting around there 3 weeks ago or so ? i believe i read that
off martha's vineyard? well there was one siting of a fin or something by a lifeguard on south beach (I used to swim there like every day! it's funny because my brother was afraid of sharks and we all made fun of him...oops) but they put helicopters and stuff up but couldn't confirm it. they closed the beach for a day just to make sure. then there was a "siting" at State beach down the street (many scenes from jaws filmed here), but that turned out to be a hoax. But then, like a week later, they found a dead shark (not sure what kind) off the coast of nantucket.

I thought south carolina had the most shark "accidents" on humans in north america (I think I may have heard that on shark week at some point).

We go to Myrtle Beach every year and last year we went on a sealife boat ride. the tour guide said the sand tiger sharks do come towards the shore. He said they like it near sand bars. I guess they are not that big...maybe a foot at the most if I remember correctly. He said if your going to get bit in SC good chance its going to be one of these little guys. The chances are still very remote.

I believe sand tiger sharks can grow to over 3 metres.

YES THEY HAVE ACCIDENTS OCCASIONLY
i meant to say the sandtiger is the most abundant in those waters and they live deeper
of course other sharks are in the water (my mistake)
THEY CATCH A GREENLAND SHARK THRU THE ICE !!!!!!!!!
WOWOWOWO
its too sad and fucked up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharkwater
very sad especially when u love them as much as i do
I'll have to check it out (with a grain of salt, of course).

Oh...maybe I am getting the names screwed up. The guy said these sharks arent very big...they hang out by sand bars and have very sharp teeth.
maybe the tour guide was talking about the little sand sharks. I've seen those, they are about 1-2 feet.
not to sound like an ass but
alot of sharks hang out by sandbars,,(good feeding grounds)
and most sharks have sharp teeth lol
juvey sand sharks are 4-6 ft (the ones that are common in our waters
adults can be 7-9 ft
