Ocean City vacationers concerned, cautious after N.C. shark attacks

OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJLA) - A pair of shark attacks on young swimmers on a North Carolina beach has vacationers in our area keeping an eye on the surf.

In Ocean City, Md. there has never been a recorded shark attack on a human but beachgoers are talking about the possibility. Gina Hudec of Pittsburgh said, “we have to remember we’re in their home that’s their home out there in the ocean. My kids are out there so that’s kind of scary when they go out far.”

Vacationer Nancy Rankin said she’s not worried, “I’ve never seen a shark here although I hear there have been sightings. Dolphins, yeah I see them.”

  1. Go ahead and get in the ocean - I say no thanks. Nice to look at and that's about it, don't want anything to do with any creature swimming around me or my feet.

  7. The one victim got hurt was swimming near a fishing pier. I would avoid swimming near the fishing pier in Ocean City - I have personally witnessed them cutting up fish and dropping the waste into the ocean - that is a sure way to attract a shark.

  13. The water is probably more of a threat than a shark.

  14. It is their territory. You take a chance each time you get in the water.
