I didn't go to the hospital with them because as 3rd Mate (low man on the totem pole), I had to stay and clean up the boat. I heard later that they did kill the shark (it was still very much alive in the ER and still very peeved) and cut his jaws loose somehow. And all the shark was doing was defending himself. It is a shame it had to die because of someones stupidity.

I would've loved to see the insurance company adjuster's face when he or she read that report, though.
