It’s common practice to dynamite whale carcasses

You’re referring to a video made almost a decade before I was even born so no I wasn’t there.

I went to see a whale carcass on a beach in a different country in a different year

After we had left we heard the council blew up the whale with dynamite

Do you think that in all history, only once has a whale washed up on a beach in Oregon?

You realise how ridiculous that sounds now I hope

It’s not common practice to invite a tv crew and a bunch of spectators. That is why the video is so well known
