For the second time in recent months, a giant sea creature has washed ashore in California.
First it was a rare oarfish that had grown to a freakish 100-foot
length. This time it was a giant squid measuring a whopping 160 feet
from head to tentacle tip.
These giants look different but experts believe they share one
important commonality: they both come from the waters near the Fukushima
Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in the Futaba District of Japan.
Scientists believe that following the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant an unknown number of sea creatures suffered genetic mutations that triggered uncontrolled growth – or “radioactive gigantism.”
Though I could not find any signs that said they were a satire website, I would still be sceptical of this story unless you see it elsewhere as well. The picture
does look very photoshopped. But if true, what a find! I hadn’t
really thought about radioactive gigantism before but boy it sure gets
the imagination going. There has been countless number of sci-fi movies
based on the very same premise and I know lovecraftians maybe
interested in this as well just because its a squid. If you can verify
this story either I’d be grateful!
