ABC News' Matt Gutman reports on the latest attacks to happen at the nation's beaches.

A Brunswick County 911 dispatcher walked beach goers through emergency medical procedures following the first of two shark attacks in Oak Island, North Carolina. A 12-year-old girl and a teenage boy each lost an arm in separate shark attacks in North Carolina that witnesses described as like 'a scene from Jaws.' The female victim had her left arm amputated at the elbow and could still lose a leg while the 16-year-old boy lost his arm below the shoulder, officials confirmed. Both were airlifted from the beach after both were mauled by an unidentified shark within 90 minutes of each other off the coast of Oak Island on Sunday. Two tennagers are at the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in a critical condition but have responded well to treatment, hospital spokeswoman Martha Harlan told.
