Exploding Whale

It may just be me but this is one of the funniest news report I've ever seen.

In 1970 the carcass of a sperm whale (often reported as a grey whale) had been rotting on the beach just south of Florence, Oregon, for several days. At the time, the Oregon Highway Division had jurisdiction over beaches and decided to dispose of the whale the same way they would clear a large boulder from a highway construction project. The rest is, as they say, history.

You just know this isn't going to end well. Listen to the sounds on the video after the explosion. It was even funnier the second time I watched it.
