In July of 1916 the beaches in New Jersey were terrorized by real shark attacks. 25 Year old Charles Vansant was in 3 1/2 feet of water when a shark clamped on his leg and would not release it until he was pulled to the shore. It was the first of many attacks which eventually ended with an elaborate netting system and shore patrols helping to quell the panic.
It was not until 2009 that the true horror of The Jersey Shore was exposed by MTV when they released into the world Snooki, The Situation and an odious group of frightening creatures sending shockwaves throughout America no shark attack could ever match..
