Discovery turned to the ever-fascinating subject
of shark attacks for their 20th anniversary, and
highest rated program ever, “Ocean of Fear.” The
special centered on the worst shark attack of all
time, in which a group of sailors were continuously
bitten by sharks after being sunk by a Japanese
submarine in 1945. This underwater shot pictures
a reenactment of Caribbean Reef sharks circling
and biting the legs of sailors.
