I have to love any news story that starts with

“They feed like a pack of wolves, and what they’ll do is they will force their prey to the surface,” said sport fisherman Rick Powers. “And they just get themselves into an absolute feeding frenzy. These things are literally eating machines.”
and the inevitable scientific expert to add a touch of respectability to the hysteria.
CBS asked Menard if the giant squid attacks people. “They’ve been known to attack people, in Mexico and down in Central America,” he said. “But we have had no attacks here.”
No hysterical fear mongering here, no sirree! Next they will be coming for your children!
