This is pretty cool and something I will definitely have to check out. There is not a whole lot to this article but the videos of how they brought the shark into the space is pretty cool. I was actually under the impression that none of the jaws survived as they all had fatal problems that destroyed them but which also caused the film to be much better than it might otherwise have been. It made the film more dramatic having had to only show the working parts of the shark on which part was working or have the shark not really be shown at all. That is where the barrels came from! Either way, it is really neat to see that a shark did survive and that it can be seen by anyone who enters the museum. I will have to say that it is much smaller in these photos and videos than I thought it would be but it seems to be a nice piece to add to such a unique museum.
