When they have it in that big blue tub out in the open is it dead? Is it tranquilized? Is it even the same giant squid they were filming?

The squid died as they pulled it aboard, from what I caught on CNN this morning.

Sucks that it died. Having a live one at a zoo or something would be awesome.

Guess they are way too big to get out of the water alive.

It escaped from the line once, and they think those injuries were what eventually killed it.

if you can avoid the beak you're ok. Get caught with that and you're gonna either bleed or death or come out missing a HUEG chunk of yourself.

Their suckers can wound quite well it seems.

Japanese proceeded to eat the squid and sends more "scientists" to "capture" more of the elusive creature.
