A 56-foot, 60-ton sperm whale died on a beach in Taiwan in January, 2004. Researchers wanted the carcass to perform an autopsy and for research, so they loaded the whale onto a tractor-trailer and set out through the city of Tainan, heading for the Shi-Tsau Natural Preserve. It took 13 hours, three cranes and 50 workers to get the whale loaded on the truck. Unfortunately, on the way through the city, gasses built up to a critical level in the whale and it exploded, spewing whale guts in the street, on the cars and over pedestrians. According to witnesses, the smell was pretty bad. Residents and shop owners put on masks and tried to clean up the mess. Eventually the whale continued its journey to the research center.

old, but still funny. normally big dead things dont blow up from internal gasses, but they traced the critical weakening of the skin, blubber, and cavity liner of the whale to the crane they originally used to get it out of the water. if you notice around the opening, the meat is very dark-almost black. this is severe muscle bruising/damage from that crane.
