People aren't on the shark's menu. Most attacks are mistaken identity, or as stated before, just curiousity. We are definetly the clumsiest animals in the sea and no doubt seem like a distressed animal... They can only explore with their mouths. Generally, they ignore us, sometimes they bite then let go... rarely, they keep going.

All fish are sometimes just on the feed and they eat anything in front of them. Sharks get notoriously frenzied... bluefish have attacked swimmers in the surf during frenzies, but blues don't get over 10 feet long.

The story of the attack on that boy is on cnn.com. Pretty scary... his uncle, not his dad, was right there. Can't imagine that being my kid.
