Jumbo squid attack submarine
It is like a scene from an old wives' tale about the giant, tentacled kraken dragging shipping vessels to their doom — two Humboldt squid, flashing an angry red, attack a Dual Deep Worker submersible containing two Greenpeace USA divers on an expedition in the Bering Sea. In
a Vine video shot by one of the divers, the two large cephalopods, also commonly referred to as “jumbo squid” or “red devils,” rush at the submersible while spewing vision-obscuring clouds of ink.

Did it mention if they were 20,000 leagues under the sea at the time?
:yes:
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea referred to the distance they traveled underwater, not the depth. Sorry, personal pet peeve.

Darn it! You made me learn something...

Correct-- athough I would like to first tell you to get a better pet peeve.
In most other languages, the books literal translation would be 20,000 Leagues under the Seas
My mind is large enough for several pet peeves. I try to water them, feed them, and keep them housebroken; but they sometimes get away from me.

You'd think this would be more obvious since 20,000 leagues is just less than 70,000 miles and the Earth is only about 8,000 miles across.
