Rescues at sea are far-more dramatic in “shark-infested” waters

Last week, a story about 4 shark fishermen being rescued from “shark-infested” waters in New York was featured at various media outlets.
The charter boat that the fishermen were aboard began taking on water, and the men sent out a distress call. Fortunately, two off-duty Marine Bureau officers heard the distress call, responded to the scene, and were able to rescue the fishermen within minutes of their boat sinking.
Fox 5 News in New York ran a segment on this story, in which the threat of shark attacks was strongly emphasized. The segment also features obligatory references to Jaws.
