A HERO fled the sea in terror amid the Jaws panic engulfing Britain — after saving two girl cousins from a shark. Frantic Joe Miller, 26, plunged into the waves to help the pair to safety after a dreaded fin passed within yards of them off a South Devon beach. He then scrambled for his own life. Student Hannah Miller, 23, told yesterday how she and sister Freya, 20, thought Joe was JOKING as he screamed at them to get out of the water. She said: “I never saw it at the time and didn’t realise it was there.” The penny only dropped when she saw a digital photo taken by a pal of Joe’s from the beach. Holidaymaker Hannah said: “I thought, ‘Oh, God’. I’m so scared of sharks. “It will make me think twice about going in the water again.” Her sister Freya, of Finstock, Oxfordshire, said: “It was only when I came out and saw the picture that I was convinced it was a shark. “I was shocked and scared. But at the same time it was quite exciting.” She added: “I hope it hasn’t put me off swimming — but next time I’m not going too far from the beach.” Click To See The First Video Of The Shark Click To See The Latest Footage Of The Shark The sisters were holidaying on the opposite coast to St Ives — where a Great White was filmed by holidaymakers. Joe’s pal Chris Lowe, 26, from Plymouth, snapped the shark at Westcombe beach near the village of Kingston. He said: “I spotted the fin and shouted at Hannah and Freya to swim in. Fortunately Joe was on hand to dash into the water and help.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007350477,00.html
Four people are killed a year by sharks. And around 100 non life threating injuries are caused by sharks. People are way to afraid. That's like nothing. Go swim, have fun. Whatever.
i agree people get really scared over not much. though being as this sharky is in waters it normally isn't there could be the line of thought that it can't find food and is looking for people. however sharks don't like to eat people. apparently we aren't tasty enough for them. *snobs* i've always found sharks interesting, and think it is even more interesting now that we know they migrate such great distances.
