You can think that all you want, but it's not what happened. The submarine was poorly designed and flouted health and safety precautions. It imploded because the CEO was a gigantic word I'm not allowed to say on this forum.
Which big squid should we have in the game once we get aquariums in Planet Zoo?

Cool, didn't know that
Also Magnapinna Squid to answer the Question not really seriously
is there even a Stranger looking Squid Species than that one?

This just came to me. How big was the window of the submarine?
There is the Vampire Squid.Also Magnapinna Squid to answer the Question not really seriously
Magnapinna Squid looks way stranger though
First of all, I've only known it as the Long - Armed Squid & also good point.
Has anyone ever tried to tag a Colossal Squid or a Long - Armed Squid by any chance?
Seems like there isn't a tagged Colossal Squid yet but it would definitely be easier than I thought because sometimes they come to the Surface unlike the Giant Squid
Don't know why the Uploader Age restricted the Video. Must've been some pretty heavy cursing
Obviously still pretty young though when it was filmed. Unlike the Giant Squid, Colossal Squids seem to have never been filmed in their natural Habitat
Can't find anything about a tagged Magnapinna Squid
Try converting the video to MP4. Then we would be able to watch it.
For that I would need to somehow download from YouTube though and I'm still limited to using my Phone. Also YouTube has gotten pretty b**** within the last Years. Maybe I'll be able to find a Reupload somewhere
Found a Reupload. Don't know though why they call it a Giant Squid in the Title when it's clearly a juvenile Colossal Squid
Also found something interesting. Giant Squids do also rarely come to the Surface
Why didn't they just tag it then?
It's a Fishing Boat. So I guess there was probably no Scientist on Board. But at least we got the first (and only?) Colossal Squid Footage from it
You're not wrong.
I think I know how the mystery of the Colossal Squid can be solved.
Why don't we take 2 baby Colossal Squids, place them in a tank for them to survive, once they are bigger, we tag them both & then place them back in the ocean?

Don't think it would be that easy. They are probably only coming to the Surface extremely rarely, which means either waiting or trying to somehow catch them from the Deep Sea and in that Case, they would need to be brought to the Surface very slowly to reduce the Risk of fatal Injuries due to the Pressure Difference. And who knows if they would even survive in a Tank? There might be unknown Factors that could make it incredibly difficult. Pretty sure someone mentioned that most Squids don't do very well in Captivity. They could also just try to tag one while it's close to the Surface. But who knows how likely it would be even for that to work? Probably this won't even work because it doesn't seems to happen very frequently that they come close to the Surface, otherwise we would most likely have more Footage of them.
What might be possible though, would be to use a Diving Vessel and use some smaller Squids or a big Fish as Bait.
That's how a few Years ago, Scientists observed and filmed a Giant Squid for the first Time in it's natural Environment. It was only a short Encounter but definitely worth it and maybe they could even observe a bigger one with this Method
That's not a bad idea.
There's a Documentary about it. I bet there's a english Dub of it. Just hope someone uploaded it to YouTube. I'll try to find it
Can someone try to help finding it? So far I found out that the english Documentary about it is Part of Discovery Channels Curiosity Series and the Episode is called Monster Squid.
Also misremembered what they used to lure the Squid in Front of the Camera. They've used a artificial Object that emited Light to look like a Deepsea Creature.
Internet Archive might have it but I'm not sure if it's really the full Documentary, because there are multiple Files with the Name.
The Documentary is from 2013

Currently downloading the File of which I think it might be the full Documentary and it takes a few Hours, so hopefully it's the correct one. A Shame you don't seem to be able to watch it directly on the Side.
I'm thinking about maybe starting a YouTube Channel so I can upload it, so other People won't need to download for a Eternity too
