Question:

What was the worst shark attack in history?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It was the USS Indianapolis, undoubtedly. The survivors say that after the ship sank, sharks began swarming and picking them off. Very interesting and tragic story.

From survivor Woody James: "The day wore on and the sharks were around, hundreds of them. You'd hear guys scream, especially late in the afternoon. Seemed like the sharks were the worst late in the afternoon than they were during the day. Then they fed at night too. Everything would be quiet and then you'd hear somebody scream and you knew a shark had got him." http://www.ussindianapolis.org/woody.htm...
