Wonder how they figured out that 26ft was the cut off point.

I guess that's one way to put a whale out of its misery. wouldn't want to be on that clean up crew though.

No clean up crew necessary.  The seagulls will have it cleaned up in a jiffy.

That reminds me of the beached whale in Oregon, I think, that city officials tried to dispose of by blowing up. Instead, hundreds of pounds of whale meat rained down in a parking lot nearly crushing some cars.

I guess dynamite may not have been the way to go in that incidence! Love the sound of raining whale fat.

We had to reduce a couple of dead dogs in the street in Iraq. It turned out pretty much the same way. I was about 300 meters away, and I had chunks of dead dog falling all around me.
