    Scuba Diver Pulled Down 300 Feet Below by Giant Tuna

    Which only highlighted the poor investigative journalism skills of the authors on both newspapers. It seemed like they only got the story from one source - the unreliable coastguard. Shouldn't they have interviewed other people / experts which looked quite easy given the details being shared...
