Shark in Venice (2008)

Rolando Cadenas: Student

Quotes 

• David Franks : These images you are seeing now were taken on an expedition I was on about 4 years ago. This is the Andrea Doria, she is another 'unsinkable' ship that went down in 1956. Sits at a depth of about 250 feet, in a place that, trust me, most of you would not wanna be.

  Student : [scoffs]  250 feet? Please.

  David Franks : Would you care to elaborate on that rather astute comment, Mr. Jennings?

  Student : I can dive 400 feet with my eyes closed, no problem.

  David Franks : I'll bet you could jump the very same distance with your eyes closed right off a cliff too. You see, kids, it's not only the attitude or ego that Mr. Jennings is displaying right now that causes most of the accidents on expeditions just like this one. It's not only about the depth or in Mr. Jennings' case, size.

  [students laugh] 

  David Franks : Ocean weather around the Doria that can go from one minute completely calm and clear, to the next minute, ripping currents that can toss this 30,000-ton ship like a toy. And if that were not enough, inside the ship's dark corridors can become like a maze or for sum divers in the past, a tomb. Many have lost their lives inside this ship, and if *that* weren't enough, then of course there's the sharks.

  [students gasp at footage of a shark attacking a ship] 

  David Franks : No problem, right, Mr. Jennings?
