This reminds me of a video Snagged sent me several years ago where some brillant professors tried to blow up a beached whale with explosives !!! Talk about redneck, but this was innovative at the time. I estimate the date to be around 1970 by the vehicles in the video. Well, this turned into a party and I would of been sure to be there with a buzz and a harlem of hotties and friends if it was my day. The news was there to capture the brilliant idea and event . If all went as planned, the 40 ton whale was supposed to blow up and/or disinegarte into small pieces for all the crabs, fish, and birds to eat . No cleanup needed, just blow it up and feed the foodchain! Well, things did not go as planned . The explosives went off and the side of the whale the explosives were on bounced a little. Several tons of large blubber chunks shot several hundred feet in the air and pelted the spectators with large heavy chunks of torn blubber!!! Cars were dented!! The whale was still where it was prior to blowing it up, but now about a 1/4 of the whale was mangled blubber!!

Here is the link to the video!! LOL!! The Infamous Exploding Whale - Video
