Hot Blankets! - Happy Birthday In Five Minutes

In July 1916, a great white shark swam eleven miles inland to Matawan Creek in Matawan, New Jersey. On July 12th, 12-year-old Lester Stilwell was swimming in the creek with his friends when the shark attacked him. 24-year-old Stanley Fisher attempted to rescue the boy, but unfortunately both of them died.

This animation is my interpretation of these events.

I kinda felt sad for the shark at the end. Even sharks face terrorism, it seems.
