I've seen that one a few times! :lol: Between the reasoning behind how much dynamite the decided to use, to then the look of astonishment when they detonate it, to finally the look/sounds of basically "Oh sh$t!" as the hunks of blubber start landing, that's a true classic! :lol:

It's been around since the www started.. There's also another one from Taiwan - I think - it blew up on it's own after being dead for a while. On a busy street...

Yup, that was like a 60 or so foot sperm whale that washed ashore that was being transported, during the summer heat, on a flat bed tractor trailer through the streets in Taiwan from where it washed ashore to basically a biology lab at one of the universities when the gasses inside from the decomposition taking place basically spontaneously combusted in the heat in the middle of the street :eek:
