I thought this was the funniest thing ever. People can be so stupid.

I gotta say, that video is very old.

True, but at least I can rest easy at night now knowing what an exploding whales actually looks like.

My freinds will get a kick out of this one.

I didn't down load it, but it is probably from blowing up a beached whale in oregon about 20 years ago. That whale had been dead for a while, so the meat all stunk like hell. A 500 lb chunk of whale landed on a car like 150 yards a way, totalling the car. In the original video you could hear people all around the camera puking from the rain of rotting meat. Very cool.

Yup, that's the one. I wonder if the insurance covered that car. My favorite part was "if this isn't enough dynamite, we got more". Reminded me of the end of Tremors 2.

One would think that they would have just towed it out to sea and let it go somewhere not do the stupidest thing ever.
