Anyone see "The Whale That Exploded" on NatGeo tonight?

It was GROSS!  A dead whale that was being transported by truck exploded on the streets of Taiwan.  Blood, guts, blubber, etc. was everywhere.

There's a whole website devoted to it: http://www.theexplodingwhale.com/

The Taiwan one was awesome, mainly due to the location (and surprise).

Rocketman, I had never heard of that until you posted it.  Could there be a more exciting job than "blow-up-dead-whales" guy?  How about practicing on a smaller one? :D :D

Well on this show they were trying to figure out why it exploded while being transported.  At first they thought someone purposely stuck explosives inside of it, but after speaking with experts and analyzing how it was lifted out of the water, etc., they said it was probably the gases that built up inside the body and BAM!  What a mess, though!     Pretty interesting to watch if anyone can catch a repeat of the show.

Wow, I can't believe the bear survived the shock and the fall as well.  Must be like a cat with 9 lives or something, lol.
