Only few people a year die from shark attacks, imagine writing about that type of low stats. ? Ridiculous.

On the other hand dozens die everyday from car crashes in USA alone. Nobody even mentions that much to relative to that.

Being landed on by a dolphin is even rarer, imagine reporting on that!

the fact that fatal car crashes are so common is precisely why you don't hear much about them on national news. But most local and regional news stations tend to cover car accidents rather often, if not daily in areas with lots of traffic reporting.
