20,000 Leagues In Miniature - Otcopus Attacks Sub
Take that, Captain Nemo! Salmon researchers in Canada were surprised when a male giant octopus suddenly attacked their mini-sub. In a bit of a panic, the sub's driver fired up the water jets and scared the critter off. The whole thing was caught on videoUpdate: BP reader 24 Democrat points us in the direction of the video, now available. It's a bit closer to just a curious octi checking out the strange visitor as opposed to an actual attack. (Link)

I encourage you to actually watch the video, because I don't see any attack. I see a curious octopus getting almost immediately blasted by the submarine's thrusters.
Submarine attacks octopus ought to be the title of this story.
It's fascinating how people will see this video, and say that it shows an attack, when it doesn't. I guess people want to believe in giant octopus attacks, and so they go along with the story.
Check it out with your own eyes again and ask what you really see.
