The Bay Page #2

Who's next? Who's next?

- Me! Me! Me!

- I wanna get dunked.

Who's been playin'

around with you?

A real cool cat

with eyes of blue...

Donna's voice:
Oh, God. This

is my first interview ever

I think I made him do this

interview like four different times.

I think I even told him

his hair dried fast

because he's bald.

- Yep, it does dry fast, yeah.

- (laughs)

So, I think we can show

just about everybody

that comes on down

a really good time.

Yeah. Cool.

I had no idea

how culpable he was

for what was

about to happen.

- (water sloshing)

- (police radio chattering)

Donna's voice:
The first signs

that something was very wrong

happened six weeks

before July 4th.

It was on the news,

but I don't think anybody

- and knew what was going on.

- (splashing)

Newscaster:
The bodies of

two scientists were found

in the Chesapeake Bay

last night after having been

reported missing

for more than 36 hours.

The cause of death

was listed as unknown,

although medical examiners

found numerous wounds on the body

that might be consistent

with shark bites.

The two scientists

were oceanographers

working to measure

pollution levels in the bay.

Donna's voice:

These were two oceanographers.

One from

the Cousteau Institute

and another from

the University of Maryland.

They were keeping a video diary

of their research

and sending it to the

Chesapeake Environmental Council.

Red algae here and here

does indicate

bacterial growth.

Now Natural Resources,

they think it's feeding off

the nutrients in the water

from the chicken runoff.

- That's a strange attack.

- Yes, it is.

Anchor:
You don't hear about

shark attacks in the bay, normally.

Anchor #2:
Well, I think

bull sharks can be aggressive.

- A couple of attacks last year, maybe?

- Here and there.

- Anchor #2:
Yeah.

- It is brackish throughout the Chesapeake Bay

and bull sharks

have been known

Anchor #2:
I gotta tell ya.

It makes me a little nervous.

We have a boat and go out

in the bay all the time.

Sam:
They got the results

on the water analysis.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

What do you have?

Uh, mercury levels

way above standards,

polycyclic acids, OPs,

PCBs that haven't

been legal in 20 years.

- (camera clicking)

- Sam:
Endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals,

Viagra, estrogen, DDT,

- trace amounts of GRDF.

- Jacqueline:
Phew.

I mean, pretty much

you name it,

- it's in there.

- (police radio chattering)

I mean, looky here.

Naw.

(heavy accent) This whole stream

of toxin is following the current.

The what's

following the what?

- You have a very thick accent sometimes.

- Sam.

This whole stream of toxin

is following the current.

- Yes.

- Look. It's going next to this little town.
