Exploding Whale - Hilarious!

I have been searching for 'whale beachings', due to the erupting volcano in the South Pacific, etc. I found this (hilarious) vid that is 38 years old. A dead whale was on the beach in Oregon, the authorities thought it would be the "best" idea, to just dynamite it so it goes in little pieces.

Instead they exploded whale blubber all over the people (1/4 mile away) that were there to watch the explosion.

I have just laughed over this, and thought it was just too good, not to pass on!

We all need a good laugh - watch how cars got damaged too!

I remember seeing this before. WHAT MORONS!!!!!

Thanks for posting it!

"Is it a bird, is it a plane, no its a whale!!"



Just goes to show how stupid people really are, I mean how can you blow something up with dynamite and expect it to go in one particular direction.

What a bunch of plonkers!

But.... but.... explosives can fix anything.

Don't be surprised if this gets moved to BTS, thanks for the laugh though.

Ha ha that is absolutly brilliant, love the bit where he says

"no one was hit as hard as the car, however most people where covered in small particles of dead whale"

I wonder how many people have ever had to say that in their lifetime

So now they have 5,000 bits of smelly whale.
Brilliant.

Now how would you explaine the car to the insurance company?

Did you catch they used 1/2 a TON of dynamite?

I am still Laughing!!!

Anyone remember that skit on SCTV Farm Film Celebrity Blow Up?

"He blowed up real goood!"

Thats was very very funny, it was great. As my fellow ATS'R said, this may/will be moved ot BTS. Good find this was funny - if it gets moved to BTS I'll flag it.

haha omy lord!

It's raining whale!


If I wasn't American myself this is where I'd say;

Typical Americans!

I'm the least technically minded person you could come across, but even I could see that would be a bad idea.

Why didn't they just import more crabs and seagulls...?
