Officials did not know what killed them or when. Researchers ruled out human involvement ( link ). In June, 337 dead whales were discovered south of where the sei whales were found. The was a  5.1 magnitude shallow-focused earthquake that occurred on 13 March 2015 not far from where the whales were found USGS report . On 24 March 2015, there was a more dangerous, vertical thrusting 5.2 magnitude quake ~1,000 km offshore that might have also been responsible ( link ). Surface currents from this offshore quakes would have guided injured whales into the area where the carcasses were found.

On October 12, 2014, a series of 3 earthquakes in the seafloor along the Reykjanes Ridge about 3,000 km SW of Reykjavik produced the sudden injurious changes in ambient diving pressures that injured the cranial air spaces of these nine pilot whales. Links to the scientific data for these 3 events:  Mw 5.4 , Mw5.5 , and Mw 4.6 . These quakes were all vertical thrusting events that occurred in the heart of a known pilot whale habitat. These nine whales might have been part of a larger group. A storm at sea could have caused them to be separated. If so, the larger pod is still at sea, swimming downstream and headed towards Cape Cod Bay. They should arrive during the first week of November. IS THERE A COVER-UP? You will not hear this from anyone but me. Either I am a raving idiot or there is a ma
