The octopus is one of nearly 5m Lego pieces that fell into the sea in 1997 when a storm hit a cargo ship 20 miles off Land’s End, Cornwall. While 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, and 92,400 swords went overboard, the octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard.

That sounds cute. And then it gets very un-cute.

That is horrifying..

TL;DR?

It's a six minute video. Are our attention spans that short now?

There's also a TL;DR in the body of the main post.
