Happy Exploding Whale Day for those that celebrate!🎉
Today is the 55th anniversary of the blowing up of a giant whale carcass on the beach in the town of Florence, Oregon.
See a recording of the original 1970 #KATU news broadcast:

In 1970 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #Oregon Dept. of Transportation did an incredibly stupid thing. A #SpermWhale had beached in Florence, and they blew up the carcass with dynamite. The #ExplodingWhale hurled massive hunks of whale ~240 metres, damaging cars and leaving a stench.

Whalesplosion, the Exploded Whale Oremon, is up next! These rare and huge creatures float in the air along ocean shorelines. If encountered, keep your distance unless you want a nasty surprise!

In November 1970, a dead sperm whale washed up on a beach in Florence, Oregon. Officials from the highway department came up with a plan to dispose of the whale, which wasn’t smelling any fresher as the days passed. They decided blowing it up with dynamite was the best solution

It's the anniversary of the #ExplodingWhale, the greatest idea ever conceived and poorly executed by a state transportation department.
Do watch the news video.

The Oregon Highway division used nearly a half ton of dynamite to clear the whale. While it didn’t go as planned, this event has become a quirky part of Oregon’s history, now celebrated annually at Exploding Whale Memorial Park. 🌊🎉 #ExplodingWhale #OregonHistory #Florence youtu.be/V6CLumsir34

Along this stretch of the Oregon coast 54 years ago, members of the Oregon Highway Department thought it would be effective to load a dead whale up with dynamite and blow it up to dispose of the carcass. It is still one of YouTube’s most popular videos. #explodingwhale
