One extremely hot afternoon, someone started yelling, "get out of the water, shark!" and you never saw so many people run so fast in your life. It was scary for a 16 year old girl from Maine. I hadn't seen the movie and I had never worried about shark attack in Maine. It turned out to be a pilot whale, I think, and we were allowed back in the water, but I didn't let the girls go back in the water that day- the fear in faces as they ran from the water made a lasting impression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-22024713085013353232007-03-19T07:20:00.000-04:002007-03-19T07:20:00.000-04:00Hi Rick,I know!

They wanted to prove or disprove if a shark could submerge three barrels, drag a boat backwards, if an onxygen cannister could be penetrated by a bullet, and if it was, if it would explode.<BR/><BR/>They found that a large shark could submerge three barrels, but not deeply or for long. It could drag a boat backwards, and a cannister could be penetrated by a bulet. But if it was, it would not explode like in the movie.<BR/><BR/>I don't care, it was a great ending. I even cheered again in 2007!Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-6657760141152439432007-03-18T21:06:00.000-04:002007-03-18T21:06:00.000-04:00I can not believe it has been 30 years.
