I read a well written story about this and decided to go looking further. That's when I found the video.

Supposedly the car mentioned in the video had just been bought at "a whale of a deal" promotion by an expert who warned that much much less dynamite was needed. They didn't listen...

I wonder if insurance covered the car. Whale blubber certainly did!😲

And I wonder what the proper protocol is for moving a huge carcass from the beach...obviously blowing it up is NOT!
