Exploding Whales

Ever wondered what happens when a whale carcass goes boom? In this chaotic and educational episode, we dive into the infamous 1970 Florence, Oregon whale explosion, where a poorly planned dynamite detonation made history—and covered spectators in blubber. But that’s just the beginning. We uncover a series of equally wild (and disastrous) attempts to handle beached whales worldwide, complete with explosions, unintended consequences, and plenty of questionable decisions.
