Description SIGHTINGS OF SHARKS HAVE CLOSED TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE BEACH NEAR PANAMA CITY.
Script You probably won't se too many people swimming in the waters off of Tyndall Air Force Base today. (VO) Because if they do, they'll be swimming with sharks. Tyndall biologists say that a couple hundred sharks have been spotted at the air force's beaches. We're told the feared sea creatures have cometo the area to feed. They've cornered several school of small fish and will remain in the area until the feeding is done. The sharks range from four to eight feet in length and while they look dangerous they pose no real threat to humans. (SOT-SHEA) The air force beaches will be closed until the sharks have finished their feeding and moved far offshore. --END--
