Pink, slimy and repellent, the Nomura’s jellyfish is an authentic horror of the deep that's been assaulting Japan. Now the creatures have sunk a 10-ton fishing trawler.
The boat was capsized off Chiba in Japan, as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing dozens of huge Nomura's jellyfish. Four years after they last reared their slimy heads, and for reasons that remain mysterious, an armada of the gelatinous giants has gathered in the Yellow Sea off China and the Korean peninsula.
Now it has drifted into the Sea of Japan, and brought down the Diasan Shinsho-maru. One of the largest jellyfish in the world, the Nomura's jellyfish can grow up to 6 feet in diameter and weigh as much as 400 pounds.
The Telegraph reports that the boat's crew was thrown into the sea, but the three men were rescued by another trawler. The local Coast Guard office reported that the weather was clear and the sea was calm at the time of the accident.
Helpless poeple on subway trains scream "My God" as he looks in on them!
Quote:
The first Godzilla film opened in Japan more than 50 years ago, and its 20,000-ton star, an enormous lizard, has been smashing up cities and towns ever since. Godzilla spawned several other motion pictures and TV shows, and its widespread popularity inspired Japanese filmmakers to develop a number of other monsters and heroes, such as Mothra and Gamera. Why was the original Japanese version of the film heavily edited before its release in the US?
