Before Jaws: the 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks

While the Steven Spielberg movie was inspired by the book, "Jaws" by Peter Benchley, that book was in part inspired by the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916.

Scott and Zander review the incidents and how sharks would be demonized throughout the 20th century because of it.
