John E Davies Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 “FLORENCE, Ore — On November 9, 1970, a 45-foot sperm whale had washed up on the beach near Florence, but as KATU reporter Paul Linnman noted at the time, it later became "a stinking whale of a problem." Three days later, on November 12, the dead whale exploded into history with what has been described as the first-ever viral news story. Watch the special remastered version of the original Exploding Whale report below” Twenty cases of dynamite, the local DOT road crew, a huge decaying whale, lots of spectators .... what could possibly go wrong....?
