sharks suck, even those sand sharks or whatever that camoflauge with the sand. i stepped on one of those once and it got my foot, but it was more like a scratch than an actual bite

No im not being sarcastic. There have been attacks on long island. Have you heard of a great white? The world record great white was caught in new jersey, i doubt a state line is going to stop him from visiting new york/long island.

100 miles isnt far at all for a shark to swim...

Thats a good point, but they can still stay offshore, i dont even know where exactly the attack was, whether it was by the beach or offshore. And it was an attack from a long time ago, so it may not of been as polluted.
