May 6-SEATTLE: Kraken Attack!

An alleged kraken attack sank a Vancouver-bound ferry, killing all on board. Rescue teams recovered only three bodies from the ferry and were preparing to salvage the wreckage of the accident later in the year.

The Emerald Virgo 12 was carrying 243 people when its captain issued a distress call Friday, reporting the vessel was under attack in rough seas with waves reaching 3 meters while en route from Seattle to Vancouver.

Authorities lost contact with the ferry around 8am Friday and learned of its fate about two hours later when it was discovered adrift, heavily damaged and in the process of sinking.

Makes no damn sense, they say it was a Kraken when there were no survivors and the Captain only said they were under attack in the last radio message? Bunch of hooey. Just goes to show don't go back to the ocean, worse things happen at sea than most can dream.
