Decomposing Whale Explodes on Street
The image of a dead 56-foot, 60-ton sperm whale is bad enough — before it explodes. Nonetheless, I may need to find video footage. From Decomposing Whale Explodes on Street: The decomposing remains of a 60-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.
The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.
