That was a big news story back when it happened. The rotting corpse had laid on the beach for about a week and the stench was incredible. Local officials couldn't figure how to move it as a whole piece. They decided to blow it up but weren't sure how much tnt it would take to blow it back into the water. They over-estimated!! There were 500lbs chunks of whale falling on media and curious spectators. One chunk landed on the roof of a car and flattened it.
