Shark attack

The term shark attack is used to describe an attack on a human by a shark. Every year around 75 attacks are reported worldwide. Despite their relative rarity, many people fear shark attacks after occasional serial attacks, such as the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, and horror fiction and films such as the Jaws series. Out of more than 480 shark species, only three are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull; however, the oceanic whitetip has probably killed many more castaways, not recorded in the statistics.

Statistics

According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), between 1958 and 2014 there were 2,778 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 497 were fatal.

Although Australia is ranked the second highest in terms of global shark attacks with 664 unprovoked attacks, it is ranked the highest in terms of shark fatalities, with 232 unprovoked fatalities. The highest death rate occurred in Western Australia, which has experienced 11 fatal attacks since 2000. In 2000, there were 79 shark attacks reported worldwide, 11 of them fatal. In 2005 and 2006 this number decreased to 61 and 62 respectively, while the number of fatalities dropped to only four per year. Of these attacks, the majority occurred in the United States (53 in 2000, 40 in 2005, and 39 in 2006).The New York Times reported in July 2008 that there had been only one fatal attack in the previous year. On average, there are 16 shark attacks per year in the United States with one fatality every two years. Despite these reports, however, the actual number of fatal shark attacks worldwide remains uncertain. For the majority of Third World coastal nations, there exists no method of reporting suspected shark attacks; therefore, losses and fatalities at near-shore or sea there often remain unsolved or unpublicized..

Shark Attack

by: Cryonic Temple

[Intro lead - Ahonen]
Out in the night the wind blows so cold
The moon lights my way I wanna go home
I scan the horizon the Shore is so far
The body is weakening I stare at the stars
There is lightning and there's pain
You feel fire in your brain
There is nothing you can do
For the beast will come for you
Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands
is the proof of the tale
[Lead - Ahonen]
Something is moving beneath my cold feet
I'm trying to move but I'm all too scared
A terrible burst of pain in my leg
The beast took a bite soon I am dead
There is lightning and there's pain
You feel fire in your brain
There is nothing you can do
For the beast will come for you
Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands
is the proof of the tale
[Lead - Ahonen]
Shark attack - swimming alone in the waters of Hell
Shark attack - the blood on my hands
