ANATOMY OF A SHARK BITE
While we’re reminded every so often
that shark attacks are rare and
unrepresentative of the fish’s habits,
the shark bite remains an exploited
form of drama, from films to those
unusual real-life occurrences. In this
scene from 2003’s “Anatomy of a
Shark Bite” — the second highest
rated Shark Week program — we see
one of life’s more troubling ironies
play out: Shark expert Dr. Erich Ritter
— who used to study and swim with
sharks — faces underwater footage
of himself being attacked by a shark.
