An eight-ton whale exploded over a crowd. 🐋 . . . On November 12, 1970, Oregon officials packed a beached sperm whale near Florence with roughly half a ton of dynamite. The blast showered spectators with flesh, while one enormous chunk crushed a parked Oldsmobile. The explosion worked—just not in the direction anyone expected.
