eeky whale explosion

nice present for my birthday. NOT

Sperm whale explodes in Tainan City; Blood and guts of 17-meter long 50-ton mammal splatter sidewalks, automobiles parked nearby - check out the yummy whale guts!

“A dead sperm whale being transported through Tainan City on its way to a research station suddenly exploded yesterday, splattering cars and shops with blood and guts.
Certified by authorities as the largest beached whale on record in Taiwan, the 17-meter 50-ton carcass was being transported by a flat-bed trailer-truck to a special research location after National Cheng Kung University officials and security guards refused to allow the whale on campus.

….

The news also showed one section of the street along with several parked automobiles and pedestrian walkways covered in red with copious amounts of splattered whale blood.

Lying on the trailer-truck was the dead whale - underbelly exposed with a large elongated tear where the biological gaseous blowout took place. Besides the shocking red bloody mess, large piles of whale intestines and guts were strewn along the road, leaving an unpleasant and ghastly scene for startled residents.”

thanks stacey for the link. at least they didn’t intentionally blow up the whale like the clever americans in 1970 LMAO!
