Episode description

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving back into disaster territory and looking at the infamous 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks.   Join us as we look at those unfortunate deaths, how the event influenced a movie/book that shaped pop culture (looking at you, Jaws), exploring some of the bogus theories (looking at you, 'rogue theory) and conspiracies that rose from it, seeing how we have (but also haven't) learned from it, and talking about sharks being awesome despite things.   Some of the articles I used in researching this are below, and I really recommend you check them out:   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/150702-shark-attack-jersey-shore-1916-great-white?loggedin=true&rnd=1688919484049   https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/odds/compare-risk/death/   https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/yearly-worldwide-summary/   https://worldanimalfoundation.org/advocate/shark-attack-statistics/   http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/saf_nj_maneater.htm   https://ecologyforthemasses.com/2022/05/10/the-guilt-of-one-shark-the-history-of-the-rogue-shark-theory/   https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissacristinamarquez/2018/10/13/why-everything-you-know-about-rogue-sharks-is-a-lie/?sh=4bf0be2d7a2f   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!
