When a whale died and washed up on shore, the city had to get rid of it, so they blew it up. This is one of the first viral videos of the web. This news story is from the 1970s.

You should thank Dave Barry for this!
Dave Barry is a syndicated columnist and humorist. For years after this happened, very few people knew about this incident. In fact, it was largely considered an urban legend until he brought it up in his column many years ago. That's when the rest of the country began learning/ caring about it years and years after the fact. Then when the internet hit, people put up web sites about it.

So if it hadn't been for Barry, no one would have cared enough to post the video of it, let alone make a web site about it. =-)

- Dumb ass rednecks
  yes floks it does not matter where in the world you are ther is someone trying to prove their stupidity. It does not have to be on this grand a scale but it does help to tape it to show people you are a member of the redneck club. and to save any one the truble of posting yes I am a card carrying member. just can't afford a video camera.

This incident is legendary!
I live near where this took place. 36 years later, every time a dead whale washes ashore the marine experts are still asked by tourists if they can watch them blow it up. Thanks to the Internet, we'll never live it down! LOL
