Blowung up a Whale. This is Hysterical. Who thinks these things up!!!!!!!!!!

This video from the 70's is priceless, They are lucky no one got killed with flying chunks of whale meat.

That looks like a fairly typical government response - We don't know what to do, so let's take the stupidest idea offered, then over-react and screw it up..

and the whale went O-blama...

And now for the next trick...

the Highway Division got this hairbrained idea from the Corps of Engineers. If they had any sense they would have tarped the whale to contain the blast and they should have done a test blast with a small amount of TNT. But nooooooo, lets go for it!!!

This kind of reminds me of the brilliant minds who came up with the 2004-2005 World Cat diesel model boats........BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,BOOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...........STOP PRODUCTION!!!! We have a major problem with the design. Hurry and sell the 9 KABOOMS/LEMONS and let's move on to the next model. However, unlike the whale, WC did try and bury it and did cover it up, hoping the scavengers would do away with the carcasses, all 9 of them. Shame on World Cat boats!!!!!!

I was in Oregon when they blew up this whale and it was funny then just like it's still funny. I think the guy with the big moustache is Geraldo Riviera's brother....Pedro?
