Shark Attack Survivors Tell Their Stories

(CBS)  One of the scariest prospects someone swimming or surfing in open waters could imagine is being attacked by a shark.

One of the more miraculous escape stories anyone could experience would be to live to tell about it.

On Monday, The Early Show began Shark Week, in conjunction with its partner, Discovery Channel, which is having a Shark Week of its own.

Co-anchor Julie Chen interviewed three survivors of such attacks, as well as an expert on avoiding them.

One szurvivor made it through an attack off Florida, another off California, and another off Hawaii. All are featured on the Discovery episode, "Day of the Shark."

this is my comment on the early shows interview with 3 fishermen who claimed to survive a shark attack and did battle with the shark for 2 hours. They are con-men and they lied about it. Evidence of this is in the interview and the clips that the Early Show air on 13 March 2009 in the clips you can see that the diver actually swims in and grabs hold of the shark and in other clips you can see the diver is actually the aggressor. They didnt battle the tiger shark for survival in the interview they admit to going after the shark and bring it on board the boat. In truth they were hunting that tiger shark and wanted the trophy of getting a shark. If they had really been under attack who was hurt? and why did they repeatdly go after it even after the shark was leaving them alone? and why didnt they just get out of the water and on the boat they had many oppertunities to do so and why were they filming it under shark attack ? Answers are they were hunting the shark they wanted it has a trophy and they are filmakers and photoaghers and made the whole attack up they were never under attack and the until they attack the shark first and and points in the clips aired on the Early Show the shark looks like its is actually drugged and little to no fight in him. And the fishermen look more like hunter and not victiums and none showed any signs of an attack. Looks to me they either killed the shark on purpose or even gave the shark a shot of valuim because that shark looked very very calm for a shark who is attacking the diver at one point actually swims in and grabs the shark and the shark was 5 ft away not even interested in him was even looking at the diver and that clip was aired quickly on the early show but if you look very closely at the clip slowly you can see that the diver swims in and grabs the sharks fins from the under side of the shark and then precides to make it look like the shark is attacking the diver so remeber these guys are filmmakers and photographers and they can edit and stage things to look much more than what really happened and they try to look like survivors but the simple truth is they were hunting the shark and went after the shark several times after the shark was leaving they kept going back for more so ask yourselfs when you see the clips and the interview on the early show and go bback and watch is closely who attacked who?
the shark is actually inoccent in this one and the 2hours was the divers trying to get their kill to the boat and in the boat and not a battle for survival these men are frauds and liars and they should be exposed for what they are and the early show should be ashamed to air something like that as a story of survival when it was nothing more than 3 men who went hunting for a shark and it took them 2 hours to get the 1000 lb. shark in the boat and the 3 men look more like they staged the attack has filmmakers not really hard for them to edit and cut and shoot the way they want the story to be seen. Again take a close look at the clips showing the diver going in after the shark and at the sharks attitude is not that of an attacking shark.
