LadyZekke, I think you're on to something. The US Government has been doing experiments for a few years with those waves, something called TESLA waves, if I remember rightly. It seems that they were inadvertently disturbing the whales' and dolphins' frequency patterns, and literally driving the poor critters crazy!
I wonder if something like that is happening with the sharks? Annapolis, where they conducted the first TESLA experiments, is pretty close to the Eastern Coastline.
BTW, did you see now there's a shark attack in Virginia?  Or is that the N.C. attack you were referring to, LadyZekke?

Yes Saz, that TESLA experiment is what I mean. Unfortunately, though, I have not seen any plans to stop this type of sonar in the Navy. No doubt, it is EXCELLENT re national security, genius even, but damn, it is messing up all the whales and dolphins, and possibly sharks?
Yes, just this past weekend a 10 year old boy died from a shark attack on Virginia Beach, and then yesterday a couple in North Carolina, Outer Banks (about 6 hours or so from where I live, but we go there often in the summertime). Guess the couple both were battling the shark. Man died, his girlfriend lived with critical injuries. No bystanders actually saw a shark, but of course it is presumed that is what it was. Two people at once! Again, I say tis unusual!
I really feel for that woman who is the survivor. Imagine what it must be like to watch your loved one die in such a violent way, perhaps even he was trying to protect her.
And it seems most of these attacks, not just in VA, but all over the east coast, have occurred in shallow waters, like 4' deep. Sheesh, I remember for years on years I swimmed as a child and a teen in the ocean waaay out there, and never did I ever encounter a shark, nor did anyone else, nevertheless right out in the frontlines in shallow waters. Again, sharks seem desparate for food? Going beyond the usual barrier? (fondling my shark's tooth necklace, knowing at least one of em won't be gettin me heehee) :p
Just saw your recent post Saz, yes, this Sonar that the Navy had developed not only goes miles and miles outward, but takes weeks to finally end it's journey, so it just MUST affect all sorts of living creatures in the ocean along its path. And once you disturb these things, maybe even in a permanent fashion, there is no telling what will occur next. Every Action has a RE-Action. I truly hope I am just being paranoid, and my thoughts will end up being unfounded.
