Wow! 50 years?

I remember this very well.

Thanks for reminding me of this important anniversary, and thanks for the chuckle.

Not what I expect... I thought it was going to 'go off' while the reporter was being filmed in front of it. Man what a mess... that really looks like some kind of Saturday Night Live skit.
I actually had a dead squirrel explode on me about 35 years ago while trying to get it unstuck from a fireplace. You really don't want to have that happen to you.

I had heard about this long ago,, and never had the opportunity to see the footage. That was funny!

I guess nobody thought to hook a tow cable to it,, wait for high tide, and have a tugboat pull it back out into the sea. Then,, if you wanted it to sink & all, you could place a few smaller charges in it & blow it,,, or heck. Just put a temporary anchor on it, and let the sea creatures devour it.

The car getting demolished by a chunk of whale is impressive! I can't begin to imagine the smell! There is a video of someone poking a bloated whale that explodes and another one of a whale being hauled on a truck that explodes....

This happened a couple of years before I left Colorado for Oregon. People were still talking about it when I got here. If you mentioned you were headed over to the coast, you'd get told to watch out for exploding whales. Quite the event up here.
