From Shark Victim to Advocate
From CNN Meteorologist Reynolds Wolf:
You’d think that after being ravaged by one of nature’s most feared creatures, you’d shield yourself from all reminders of that experience.
That isn’t the case with Rodney Fox - a guy nearly shredded apart by a Great White Shark in 1963. This survivor is now a protector of these apex predators of the seas - and is doing all he can to prevent their extinction.
Here’s his story:

Sharks: Predator or Prey?
From CNN Meteorologist Reynolds Wolf:
We can see them rising from the depths and into our nightmares - sharks!!! These oceanic predators are one of the creatures most feared by man - and sadly, one of the most horribly misunderstood. Many are endangered and are teetering on the brink of extinction.
A new exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium is trying to help save them by tossing myths overboard and hooking us into the truth: the survival of the shark is crucial to the Earth’s ecosystem!
I recently had a chance to see the exhibit and meet a few of the sharks face to face. Check it out!

Cops: Teen Suspects Laughed About Setting Boy Ablaze
Some new details about that horrific attack in Florida, where a 15-year-old boy was doused with rubbing alcohol and set on fire.
Police now have five juvenile suspects in custody. All are charged with aggravated battery; one of them's charged with 2nd degree attempted murder, as well.
Witnesses say the teens yelled "he's a snitch, he's a snitch!" and "pour it on him!". After their arrest, an officer heard a couple of them laughing about the attack. The motive here, police say: payback over money the victim owed for a video game, and his reporting one boy's attempted theft of his father's bike.
We told you what we knew about the story in Tuesday's second hour. Then Kyra talked to a clinical psychologist about the cruelty and violence of this attack.
