I've been researching over and over again the realistic sequences from the film. All seem to be true except the scene when that shark gets shot and the other sharks end up eating it - conveniently helping Louis. Seems a little dramatic to me, but would love to know for sure!
sharei dont think it was accounted for in the event, he claimed to have kicked a shark accidentally on the 2nd jump.. but i think the divebomber dived at them several times in real life.. the amount of lead being fired around the raft could have killed a shark but.. probably not, bullets slow pretty fast in water
shareThat never happened.

Why is THIS TOPIC a point of discussion???? With an entire school of sharks repeatedly circling the raft, and a Japanese twin engine patrol plane making numerous passes strafing the daylights out of the poor guys and THE SURROUNDING WATER, YEAH, the possibility of a shark (or sharks) buying a couple of 7.7mm rounds is a complete guarantee, which would result in an immediate feeding frenzy, given the shedding of blood, etc. As logical as the sun shining on a cloudless day, people!!! Geeezz!!!

The guy's just asking a question about whether it actually happened, he's not saying it's impossible. Relax.
...then whoa, differences...
I guess its impossible to verify.
It's that man again!!
parts of the movie was talked about in cinifex magazine I want to say no but dont qouate me on that
Look like Tarzan talk like Jane! HAHA
There were extensive interviews with eyewitnesses published in 'Shark Times'. But sadly, the publication is not considered a 'reliable source' due to a history of pro-shark bias.
sharesimply embellishment, and unnecessary ...as is the other sharks making a meal of the wounded shark.
