Exploding Whale Video!

[Johnboy]

I found this web site with a bunch of apple/mac videos. They also had this video of a beached whale that was exploded with dynamite. This is amazing.

Utterly nasty...

That is what I would call a blubber of a story. Imagine that it rained so hard that is rained blubber. I can only imagine the smell. Sounds as they have learned their lesson. The smell of human decomposition is still the worst, I know from experience.

Wdlove-"The smell of human decomposition is still the worst, I know from experience." What's the story behind that?

1000 LBs of TNT thats ****ing crazy. "Well we don't know how much TNT to use to make the whale... So we just loaded the mother ****er up with as much as we could find in the shed behind lary's house. which turned out to be 1/2 ton. What idiots! That's super funny.

I like the reporter's last line.

"At least now they will know what to do, and what not to do."

:D

Hahah I saw this a while ago...that must have been pretty sick. Whale guts flying all over the place. Eww.

Man what an explosion. Somebody get a bioengineer. :p

Not that such a method to get rid of the whale was as appropriate as some other means of transportation. Somebody get a sand-road bobcat.

I attended mortuary school in Cincinnati, Ohio. Our embalming practical class was held at the city morgue. We got cases in all stages of decomposition and locations. It is something that is very difficult to deal with.
