When Sharks Attack

Once the filming location for the infamous movie "Jaws", Cape Cod laughed at the unlikely association with fishy predators. But in 2012, the peaceful tourist destination suddenly comes under siege from sharks.

The Bahamas is a nation of 700 islands with some of the most biodiverse marine life. Despite being home to 40 species of shark, attacks on humans were unusual until 2002. What caused this increase that left multiple people maimed or dead?

In 2015, a family vacation hotspot along the Carolina coast became a shark attack hell. Day after day, adults and children had dangerous encounters, eventually totaling an unprecedented 16 victims.
