I just saw this on the news tonight.  I don't know what kind of sharks they were but they were in massive schools and fed on sailors for 5 days.  That is about as horrible a situation as one could ever find himself in. 
Every veteran survivor I have ever seen is unable to tell their story without breaking down in tears.  I am in awe of what they went through.

I think it was reported that they were probably White Tips & some Tigers.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
