Krishna Thompson saw the fin, felt the chomp and felt himself being pulled underwater. His first thought? I can't believe there's a shark on my leg! Held hostage by a bank robber, Paul Hardy grabbed the gun and fought for his life ( He started biting my hand and arm; money was flying everywhere ). Peter Beard couldn't outrun a stampeding elephant ( Her tusk went right through my thigh ), Marc Dupavillion's sloop was no match for a 70 foot wave ( The boat just lifted out of the water and got slammed on its side ). Edna Wilks wishes she hadn't gone swimming that night in Florida ( I saw the alligator's head; I didn't have time to scream ).
