I saw this on YouTube and just had to share. It is footage dating back to 1970. I suggest watching the video before reading about the incident.


A widely reported case of an exploding whale occurred in Florence, Oregon, in November 1970, when the Oregon Highway Division (now the Oregon Department of Transportation) blew up a decaying sperm whale with dynamite in an attempt to dispose of its rotting carcass.

Everything planned and calculated. What could possibly go wrong...

Where did all the seagulls go?

Lol. This reminds me of the WKRP IN Cincinnati "Turkey Drop".

But..But...fun....Blowing things up is fun. Sure, there was a squashed car, but everyone watching got a great experience, something they will never forget.

At 2:07 a woman says

"Alright Fred,you can take your hands out of your ears!"

I got serious Gary Larson vibes from that.
