Danger Miami: Shark Attacks
Submitted by WSN_Staff on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 00:04.
The fear and panic of shark attacks has returned to Miami just as if "Jaws" from the 1970's has returned to the ocean. Stephen Howard Schafer, 38, died of shark bites Wednesday off the coast of Stuart, about 100 miles north of Miami.
The United States, however, leads the world in the number of unprovoked shark attacks — some deadly, some not, with 1,032 documented since 1670, according to the International Shark Attack File. Of those, 50 were fatal. Florida leads the world with more than 600 attacks.
Stephen Howard Schafer, 38, died of shark bites Wednesday off the coast of Stuart, about 100 miles north of Miami. He is the first person to die of a shark attack in Florida waters in five years and only the 14th since 1896. Beaches remained open Thursday.
