Oh, great and terrifying Cthulhu, be mercyful and eat us ...

... right after you're done with the sharks:

the short version:

Data indicates that there was a rapid temperature rise. There was also a sudden, precipitous plunge recorded -- a descent of 580 meters (1,902 feet) -- prior to the heightened temperature.

Right. That's an entirely ordinary, humdrum occurrence. Nothing to see here, move along.

According to the experts, it is believed that shark was snagged by a much larger animal than itself and the rise in temperature is due to the Great White's being eaten, its body trapped in the digestive tract of some massive animal.

... it ate a 9 foot great white. It lives over half a kilometer, over a third of a mile, below the sea. And it's fucking hungry ...

I know, this is one of those Discovery Documentaries that needs to be taken with a bit of salt to counter some of the sensationalism in the story. However, when the narrator gets into the charts and following the patterns around the world, it does make one stop and look at the events mentioned, and the unusual damage to marine life that shows up. Weed through the crap, and there is an interesting story that makes you stop and go hmmmm...

Actually that particular "documentary" is full on fiction, a la War of the Worlds. They play a very brief disclaimer at the beginning, and caught a lot of flak when it first aired.

I found that video online, indeed. But I first heard it on Edumacation, Kevin Smith's science podcast. While that is not a credible source, far from it, I'm sure I recall they mentioned another source. To the googles!

EDIT: all I could find in a hurry were reports either directly referencing that documentary, or pointing at other reports that reference that documentary. Big old circle jerk. One proposed it was eaten by an even bigger shark (ha! they want us to believe that!). That would make sense. Tragic, mundane, humdrum sense, but sense. Darnit.

The "Story" is fiction. However, the charts and following around the unusual marine life attacks are based on factual charts and events. Those are actual charts, with the actual Current Changes caused by the various Natural Disasters such as the Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Typhoons etc. The documented cases of Atlantic Marine life showing up in the Pacific, and vice versa. Those are actual changes. Hell, they found a Greenland Shark, which is an Arctic Shark found between Greenland and Norway, usually under the ice pack in the freaking Gulf of Mexico.
