  1. I grew up on the Jersey shore and there were a lot of Fishers, Stillwells in the area.
    The bakery that used to be in the building in Lakewood where I was a picture Framer
    used to be Stillwells Bakery.
    The old stone Oven were still in the basement area where I worked.
    I knew about the Bull Shark theory but not about the White Shark.
    I been to that attack area many times in the past.
    Cheers,

  2. Thank you for taking me to the actual place this happened. I have been obsessed with this story since I was a young child. You’ve let me see, hear, and imagine what it was like for these kids and adults. Thank you so much!

  3. I was very familiar with the story but really enjoyed your video. I live in, Toms River, and was going to paddle, Matawan, creek last year. Didn't get a chance to but will definitely do it this year. Any info on how the fishing is? Not for sharks!

  4. That creek is definitely good fishing (except for when there is a disease killing the fish) as evidenced by 15:20 .. And also by the fact that there are dead fish all over so it must ve packed full of fish when the water/fish are healthy

  5. Real life jaws was a WW2 mission that went side ways leaving tons of soldiers floating in the sea watching sharks eat everyone around them wonder who will be next

  6. I wonder what attracted the sharks ? that far in? Maybe back then a lot of waste and what not was thrown in the water? That is just crazy! But it does happen when they get off track for some reason! Poor guys!

  7. Something about swimming under a bridge in that green water which is supposedly a “creek” (I imagine like 2-10 feet deep) and being eaten by a shark or jus having a fish bump you is… well… absolutely horrid
